OnePlus 12R: A Flagship Killer in the Making

OnePlus is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated new flagship smartphones in the coming months. While we have been receiving information about the OnePlus 12, there is also news about its successor, the OnePlus 12R. Leaked details suggest that this device might be a flagship killer. Let’s take a closer look at the design and specifications of the OnePlus 12R.

OnePlus 12R Design and Specs

OnLeaks, in partnership with MySmartPrice, has shared some exclusive information about the design and specifications of the OnePlus 12R. In terms of design, the 12R is expected to bear a striking resemblance to its predecessor, as well as the rumored OnePlus 12.

The standout feature of the OnePlus 12R’s design is its massive circular camera bump located in the top left corner. The device is also rumored to sport a center-placed punch-hole screen, possibly with curved edges, and the signature alert slider that OnePlus is known for. While the leaked images showcase a white color variant, it is likely that there will be more color options available at the time of the official launch.

In terms of hardware, the OnePlus 12R is expected to pack some serious power. It will likely feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, coupled with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The device is rumored to offer a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a sharp 1.5K resolution.

As for the cameras, the OnePlus 12R is rumored to ditch the Hasselblad branding found in the OnePlus flagships. Instead, it is expected to sport a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and an upgraded 32MP telephoto lens (a significant improvement over the OnePlus 11R’s 2MP macro camera). The device is also expected to retain a 16MP front-facing camera for stunning selfies.

In terms of battery and software, the OnePlus 12R is rumored to come equipped with a larger 5,500mAh battery offering support for blazing-fast 100W fast charging. It is expected to run on Android 14-based OxygenOS 14. More details, including the exact pricing, are yet to be revealed, but it is speculated that the OnePlus 12R will be priced below Rs 50,000, making it an attractive offering in the premium smartphone segment.

While the suggested launch timeline for the OnePlus 12R is January 2024, there is still some uncertainty. The OnePlus 12 itself is expected to launch in December, so it would be best to wait for an official confirmation from OnePlus regarding the release dates.
