Leaked OnePlus 12R renders show the phone off from every side and in two colors.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The first big phone launch of 2024 is almost here, as the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is landing on January 17. But shortly after that on January 23 were getting the second big phone launch of the year, where well see the OnePlus 12R and the global launch of the OnePlus 12 .

These are likely to be OnePlus top phones for the year, so theyre key contenders to the upcoming Galaxy S24 and its siblings, and in the case of
the OnePlus 12R, weve now seen leaked renders, showing it off in detail and from a variety of angles.

These come from reliable leaker Roland Quandt , posting on X (formerly known as Twitter), and show the OnePlus 12R in two shades, which previous leaks suggest are called Iron Gray and Cool Blue. 2/2 pic.twitter.com/RKdtdzOnTn January 11, 2024 See more

Weve actually seen official images from OnePlus of the phone in these two shades previously, but not from this many angles, so this is our closest look yet at the OnePlus 12R. And while this is a leak and should therefore be taken with a pinch of salt since weve seen many of these details before in official imagery, these pictures are almost certainly accurate.

You can see then that the OnePlus 12R looks a lot like the OnePlus 12 (which is already available in China), thanks in large part to a similar camera housing.

It has a slightly curved screen, slim bezels, a punch-hole camera on the front, and an alert slider on the left edge, so you can easily mute the phone or put it on vibrate. As for the two different colors, the blue shade looks quite glossy, while the gray color has more of a textured look to it.
High-end looks with specs to match

In all, the OnePlus 12R looks like a high-end phone, and from what we know
for sure about it (that it has a variable refresh rate and a massive 5,500mAh battery), and whats been leaked (including 100W charging, a Snapdragon 8 Gen
2 chipset , up to 16GB of RAM, a 6.78-inch 120Hz display, and a triple-lens camera with a 50MP main sensor), it sounds fairly high-end too.

That chipset is a year old now, and not all of the sensors on the camera
might be flagship caliber. But for the most part it sounds well equipped, and yet the OnePlus 12R will reportedly start at just $499 (around 390 / AU$750).

For comparison, the standard OnePlus 12 will likely start at upwards of upwards of $699 / 729 / AU$1,199, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 price will probably be upwards of $799.99 / 849 / AU$1,349. So the OnePlus 12R is likely to be substantially cheaper than either of these phones, despite probably offering a near-flagship experience.

So as exciting as the Samsung Galaxy S24 is likely to be, you might want to wait and see what OnePlus has in store on January 23 before buying one. You might also like Best OnePlus phones : all the best premium and bargain
