OnePlus 12R: Key Specifications Revealed Ahead of Global Launch on January 23

OnePlus is building anticipation for the global launch of the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R, scheduled for January 23. While the OnePlus 12 has already been released in China, the company is now sharing details about the OnePlus 12R, its affordable counterpart. The key specifications revealed include a 120Hz LTPO ProXDR display and a substantial 5,500mAh battery for the OnePlus 12R. The LTPO (fourth-gen) technology in the display enables dynamic refresh rates, optimizing both smoothness and power efficiency. The fourth-generation LTPO technology offers a wide range of display refresh rates, including 90Hz and 72Hz.

OnePlus emphasizes the flexibility of the LTPO display, catering to varying usage scenarios and preserving battery life when high refresh rates are not essential. The 120Hz display ensures a responsive and visually pleasing user experience. Additionally, the company confirms the inclusion of SUPERVOOC fast charging technology and the Battery Health Engine feature for the OnePlus 12R's 5,500mAh battery. These features emphasize rapid charging capabilities and long-term battery health management.

The OnePlus 12R is positioned as an attractive option for users seeking a balance of performance, display quality, and battery longevity. OnePlus has already teased the aesthetics of the device, revealing color options such as Iron Gray and Cool Blue. The Cool Blue variant features a frosted glass texture, while the Iron Gray variant sports a matte finish. The metallic frame and relocated alert slider contribute to the device's premium design.

As OnePlus expands the availability of the OnePlus 12R beyond India and China to North American and European markets, it marks a significant step for the R-series smartphones. The OnePlus 12R is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14, and a versatile camera setup with a 50MP primary lens, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 32MP telephoto lens with 2X zoom.
