OnePlus 12 vs OnePlus 12R: Which is a BETTER smartphone for you?

OnePlus has established a solid reputation for producing “flagship killer” smartphones that are reasonably priced in addition to having top-tier specifications.

Since it still starts at the same Rs 39,999 as the OnePlus 11R and sports the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU from the previous year, the recently released OnePlus 12R appears to be the leader of this mindset. With all of the improvements made to the OnePlus 12R, some tech fans are wondering if it’s really worth the additional Rs 25,000 to get the OnePlus 12.

OnePlus 12 vs OnePlus 12R: Which has better design?

With their rounded camera modules and curved rear borders, the OnePlus 12 and 12R have very similar designs. The well-liked alert slider has been shifted to the left, and both phones include an IR blaster on top. A 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display with 4500 nits of peak brightness, 1600 nits of High Brightness Mode (HBM), and compatibility for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ is another feature they have in common. In keeping with the similarity theme, the phones have Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the back and Gorilla Victus 2 protection on the front.

With a higher-resolution 6.82-inch display than the 12R’s 6.78-inch panel, the OnePlus 12 appears to have a little advantage on paper. However, in regular use, both screens seemed just as snappy and seamless, which contributed to an engaging viewing experience. This time, both phones have better IP protection: the OnePlus 12 has IP65 protection, while the OnePlus 12R has IP64 protection.
