While the OnePlus 12R is a cheaper handset, don’t let its price fool you into thinking that OnePlus will be compromising on its specs. The handset is packing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which was the flagship chipset of 2023 so it still packs quite a punch.

The battery will also be getting an increase to 5,500mAh with support for 100W SUPERVOOC charging.

As for the cameras, the OnePls 12R will come with a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro. The phone is priced starting at $500.
