The OnePlus 12 is a fabulous choice if you want to buy a flagship in 2024. It has everything you need in a high-end phone: a sublime design, a display that goes up to 4,500 nits, outstanding hardware that's great for gaming, battery that lasts over a day, and fast charging tech. But it's the cameras where there's a noticeable difference from previous years, and you get versatile lenses that take stellar photos and videos.
But what if you don't want to spend that much money? That's where the OnePlus 12R comes in; the phone has a lot of the same features as the OnePlus 12, but it costs a lot less, giving you a much better value. OnePlus has been making phones in the R series for four years now, but these devices have been exclusive to India and China — thankfully, that's changing this year. The OnePlus 12R is launching in the same markets as the OnePlus 12, including North America and the U.K., and this is absolutely the right move by OnePlus.
