OnePlus 12R will (unsurprisingly) look like the OnePlus 12

The OnePlus 12R renders have just surfaced and thus confirmed that the device will look like the OnePlus 12. That is not surprising anyone, really, as that’s exactly what we expected will happen.

The OnePlus 12R will look almost identical to its sibling, the OnePlus 12

Just to be clear the renders that leaked are coming from China Telecom, and are showing the OnePlus Ace 3. That same phone will be rebranded to the OnePlus 12R in China, Europe, and the US, so we’re basically getting a look at the OnePlus 12R too.

You really have to look hard in order to find a difference between the two phones. It is visible on the back, though. The sizes of the sensors are different, and also the fourth circle inside the camera island.

You’ll notice that an extra sensor is missing from there, only an LED flash is placed on the inside. It look a bit different on the OnePlus 12, with an extra sensor next to the LED flash.

Other than that, they look the same. We’re looking at a glass sandwich design here, with metal being stuck between two glass sheets. A centered display camera hole is placed on the front, and the display is curved.

The power/lock and volume rocker buttons are placed on the right-hand side. There is an alert slider included on the left-hand side of this phone. Check out the images above to get a full picture.

The phone will be quite powerful, and hopefully have a great price tag

Now, in terms of specs, we also know what we’re getting. The device will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. It will include a 6.78-inch LTPO panel with up to 120Hz refresh rate.

OnePlus will offer 8GB and 16GB LPDDR5X variants, globally, and 128GB and 256GB storage options. It seems like only the 256GB storage variant will utilize UFS 4.0, though.

A 5,500mAh battery is also coming, and it will support 100W wired charging. A 50-megapixel main camera will be backed by an 8-megapixel ultrawide unit, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

The device will launch in China on January 4, and it will arrive to global markets on January 23.
