Revolutionizing Flagship Smartphones: Everything You Need to Know About OnePlus 12 and 12R
OnePlus is set to unveil its latest smartphones, the OnePlus 12R and OnePlus 12, at the "Smooth Beyond Belief" launch event scheduled for January 27 in New Delhi, India. In line with the company's tradition, OnePlus has already provided extensive details on the design, specifications, and camera features of these upcoming devices. Notably, this marks the global debut of the 'R' variant, expected to offer a more budget-friendly option compared to the flagship OnePlus 12. Here's a roundup of all the information available about the imminent OnePlus 12 series.
OnePlus 12: Design
The OnePlus 12 retains the industrial design of its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, with some subtle yet significant changes. Notably, the alert slider has shifted from the right side to the left. The device may also be slightly thicker due to an increased battery size of 5,400 mAh.
Keeping with the premium aesthetics, the OnePlus 12 maintains the glass sandwich design with a metal mid-frame. New color variants, including green, silver, and black, will be available. The Flowy Emerald variant is emphasized for its fresh and unique appearance. The circular camera island features shortened Hasselblad branding, matching the color scheme of the back panel.
A notable upgrade is the USB-C port, now confirmed to support up to USB 3.2 data standard. The OnePlus 12 is reported to have an IP54 ingress protection rating, though it falls behind competitors like the iPhone 15 and Galaxy S23 with a more advanced IP68 rating.
OnePlus 12: Hardware, Camera, and Software
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, the OnePlus 12 boasts up to 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage in its China variant. Reports suggest the global variant may have 16 GB of RAM, with an 8 GB to 12 GB upgrade for the entry-level model. The device features LPDDR5x RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, and a 6.82-inch 2K resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The camera setup, tuned by Hasselblad, includes a periscope zoom lens—a first for OnePlus. The triple camera setup comprises a 48MP wide-angle lens, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64MP telephoto lens. The selfie camera is upgraded to 32 MP, supporting 4K video recording.
Running on Android 14 with OxygenOS 14 skin, the OnePlus 12 reintroduces fast wireless charging at 50W and 100W fast charging via USB-C. The pricing is expected to be similar to the OnePlus 11, with the base variant potentially costing around Rs 60,000 in India.
OnePlus 12R: Design
The OnePlus 12R closely mirrors the design of the OnePlus 12, featuring a curved glass sandwich design with a metal mid-frame. It also offers an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, similar to its flagship counterpart.
The camera island on the OnePlus 12R resembles that of the OnePlus 12, excluding the Hasselblad branding.
OnePlus 12R: Hardware, Camera, and Software
The OnePlus 12R is based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, paired with up to 16 GB RAM and 512 GB internal storage. It features a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1600 nits peak brightness.
The camera setup includes a 50 MP primary camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2 MP macro lens. The device also includes a 16 MP selfie camera. Powered by a 5,400 mAh battery, the OnePlus 12R supports 100W fast charging but lacks wireless charging. The expected price is over Rs 40,000, potentially slightly higher than the OnePlus 11R.
