Most of the time, my focus lies on the best Android phones, usually foldables like the OnePlus Open or Galaxy Z Fold 5. Every once in a while, a more affordable device catches my attention, much like the Nothing Phone 2. Fittingly, the OnePlus 12R managed to do just that, making me believe that OnePlus has entered a renaissance stage.
At first, I assumed that the OnePlus 12R would just be a mid-range phone that was slightly over-priced for what it offers. But, looking through the spec sheet it's become obvious to me that there might still be a bit of Carl Pei's mindset left at OnePlus.
