Despite the introduction of the OnePlus 11 in February, speculations regarding the prospective OnePlus 12 are circulating, including a supposed toned-down variation named the OnePlus 12R. This gadget is scheduled to be released in China in December or early January 2024, followed by a worldwide release, including India. Based on leaks, here’s a look at the future OnePlus phones.
Even though the OnePlus 11 was just introduced in February, rumors regarding the OnePlus 12 are already circulating. According to a recent source, a OnePlus 12R, a scaled-down version of the OnePlus 12, is in the works. The phone is expected to debut in China in December or early January 2024, with a worldwide launch, including India, following soon thereafter. Here are the specifications of the forthcoming OnePlus phones, which are based on leaks.
ONEPLUS 12 AND ONEPLUS 12R FEATURES AND ESTIMATED PRICING
The OnePlus 12R is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is also found in the OnePlus 11 5G. It might include a sizable 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which has been the normal memory option for premium OnePlus handsets. It’s believed to include a 5,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging, which is a deviation from the more usual 4,500mAh battery seen in many smartphones, but with quicker charging speeds. The increased battery size might add considerable weight and bulk to the phone.
The back camera module is expected to include a 50-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera for shooting. The OnePlus 12R 5G is said to include a 16-megapixel front camera for selfies.
The basic OnePlus 12 will, on the other hand, be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU, along with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The continued partnership between OnePlus and Hasselblad for photography improvements is set to continue, with the rear camera system consisting of a 50-megapixel main camera sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 64-megapixel telephoto camera. A 32-megapixel front-facing camera is included for selfies.
Both the OnePlus 12R and the OnePlus 12 are expected to have large batteries. The OnePlus 12 might include a 5,400mAh battery with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging capability.
Pricing information is still scarce. OnePlus phones with the ‘R’ suffix are often less expensive than their regular-numbered equivalents. It would be interesting to watch how OnePlus positions and pricing the OnePlus 12R, particularly given its similarities to the OnePlus 11, which is a more costly smartphone that starts at Rs 56,999 and the OnePlus 11R starts at Rs 39,999. The business may opt to price these phones similarly or raise them by a few thousand rupees. We’ll have to wait a few months for answers on this.
