The OnePlus 12R was introduced earlier this year without the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to attract customers looking for a capable Android smartphone and did not care if it did not have the latest and greatest silicon. Fortunately, this particular model is now one of the best ‘price to performance’ handsets listed on Amazon, as the base version starts from just $399.99 and offers incredibly powerful hardware. Keep in mind that for the price, you get 8GB RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, which cannot be expanded with a microSD card.
Fortunately, if you want a variant that sports more memory and storage, the 12GB RAM and 256GB version will set you back by just $499.99. As for the color options, the OnePlus 12R is available in the Gray and Blue finishes, but we are confident that those looking for an exceptional deal will likely ignore the color. The remaining hardware remains consistent irrespective of which model you choose, with the OnePlus 12R sporting a large 6.78-inch fourth-generation LTPO AMOLED panel that supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and brightness levels up to a whopping 4,500nits.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the brain of the OnePlus 12R and delivers better performance and efficiency than Google’s Tensor G3, which powers the more expensive Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The generously large 5,500mAh battery keeps the lights on and supports fast charging up to 100W. Sadly, to keep production costs down, OnePlus did not incorporate wireless charging on this handset. The camera configuration is decent, especially considering that you do not have to splurge flagship-level funds on it.
You get a 50MP primary unit, an 8MP ultrawide-angle sensor, and a 2MP macro shooter. At the front, the 16MP selfie camera can produce detailed images as well. Looking at the price, those who are not inclined to make an expensive smartphone their daily driver will undoubtedly have their crosshairs on the OnePlus 12R. However, you should make it quick because there is no telling when Amazon will remove the discount.
