Alongside the global debut of the flagship OnePlus 12, the company has also introduced a new sub-flagship device, the OnePlus 12R.
The new OnePlus 12R still looks as packed and powerful as most phones today. Only this time — and unlike the newer processor of flagships like the OnePlus 12 — it comes with the last generation’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, with up to a very generous 16GB of RAM and 256G of fast UFS 4.0 storage.

On the front, there’s a packed 6.78-inch LTPO4 AMOLED display with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, 4500-nits peak brightness, and even the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Also on the display is the fingerprint scanner and a 16-megapixel sensor for selfies.
The rear has a similar design as the OnePlus 11 and 12 but sans the Hasselblad branding. There’s the 50-megapixel IMX890 main sensor that’s 1/1.56-inch in size and is only joined by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and 2-megapixel macro.

It then has a 5,500mAh battery, which is marginally larger than the 12’s. But unlike its higher-end brother, it lacks wireless charging but has the same 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging with a SUPERVOOC S Charging Management chip that promises 1,600 battery cycles.
As a cherry on top, the 12R has an IP64 rating for being dust and water resistant.

The OnePlus 12R has a price of INR39,999 (~Php27,100) and INR45,999 (~Php31,200) for the 8GB/128GB and 16GB/256GB, respectively. It is now up for pre-order in India and will ship on February 6. It will then be available in Europe and North America on February 13. No word yet if this year’s OnePlus R model will finally make its way to the Philippines.
