A recent revelation discloses that the OnePlus 12R will be exclusively available on Amazon, offering consumers two striking colour options: blue and black. While the Amazon landing page confirms the launch date, it maintains an air of mystery surrounding additional specifications.
OnePlus 12R Anticipated Features:
As industry insiders speculate, the OnePlus 12R is poised to be a rebranded iteration of the recently introduced OnePlus Ace 3 in China. Under the hood, expectations run high for the smartphone to be fueled by the formidable Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, utilising a cutting-edge 4nm process. Accompanying this powerhouse is the Adreno 740 GPU, catering to all graphics-intensive tasks. Display-wise, the OnePlus 12R could boast a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, offering a crisp 2780 x 1264 pixel resolution and supporting a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The device’s durability might be reinforced by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, ensuring protection, and a peak brightness of 1600 nits.
Optics and Imaging:
Shifting focus to the camera setup, the OnePlus 12R is speculated to showcase a triple-camera configuration on its rear surface. This setup comprises a 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor, equipped with optical image stabilisation (OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. On the front, users can anticipate a 16MP front-facing camera for capturing stunning selfies and facilitating video calls. Powering this feature-rich device is expected to be a robust 5500mAh battery, supporting the impressive 100W SuperVOOC fast charging technology via the USB Type-C port.
Price Projections:
In terms of configurations, the OnePlus 12R is rumoured to offer variants with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Positioned to compete fiercely in the premium mid-range segment, the OnePlus 12R is expected to rival other smartphones like the Nothing Phone (2) and Samsung S23 FE. As for pricing, industry murmurs suggest that the OnePlus 12R could enter the Indian market with a competitive price tag around ₹40,000.
In the countdown to the January 23 launch, tech enthusiasts eagerly await further revelations about the OnePlus 12R, as the brand looks set to make a significant impact in the competitive smartphone landscape.
