OnePlus beforehand introduced the OnePlus 12 flagship smartphone in December, however now it is getting a US launch and pricing. The cellphone ships on February 6 within the US and Canada with a $800 price ticket. OnePlus can be bringing the fairly fascinating OnePlus 12R to the US, a 6.8-inch machine operating final yr’s flagship Qualcomm chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, for $500.
$800 is a fairly good value for a flagship cellphone. Samsung’s 6.8-inch flagship is the $1,300 Galaxy S24. The Pixel 8 Professional is a $1,000, so OnePlus is undercutting the competitors fairly a bit. As we stated, this machine was already introduced in December, however the highlights are a formidable 5400 mAh battery and tremendous quick charging. The cellphone has 80 W proprietary wired charging within the US and 100 W internationally, whereas wi-fi charging is 50 W. OnePlus says 80 W remains to be quick sufficient to go from 1 p.c to 100% in half-hour. OnePlus solely guarantees an IP65 mud and water resistance score, so it is not submergible, which is worse than most flagships. Aside from that, it is a whole lot of regular flagship issues: a 6.82-inch, 3168×1440 120 Hz OLED that—not like Samsung and Google—remains to be curved, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and too many cameras.
The 24GB of RAM/1TB of storage spec apparently is not coming to the US—the $800 mannequin is 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and there is a single greater tier of 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $900. The white coloration can be not arriving right here. You get black for $800, with the $900 mannequin arriving in black or inexperienced.

As for the OnePlus 12R, these “R” fashions normally do not come to the US, however this one is headed right here on February 13. On the floor, you are not lacking loads with the lower cost. There’s nonetheless a 6.78-inch 120Hz OLED show, and whereas the decision is 2780×1264 that is nonetheless completely superb 450 ppi. There is a plenty-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, what have to be an industry-leading 5500 mAh battery, an in-screen fingerprint reader, NFC, and 80 W charging. Evaluate this to a $500 Pixel 7a, which nonetheless has a “flagship” class SoC, the Google Tensor G2, but it surely solely has a 6.1-inch, 90 Hz show and a barely there 4385 mAh battery. OnePlus is leaping again into the worth cellphone sport.
Now we’re beginning to discover downgrades: The cellphone has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The cameras are downgraded, too. The principle sensor is a 50 MP Sony IMX890, which is normally a secondary digicam on different telephones. Then the opposite two rear cameras sound like junk: an 8MP wide-angle digicam with no autofocus and a 2 MP “macro lens. The entrance digicam is 16 MP and in addition would not have autofocus. The cellphone has an IP64 mud and water resistance score, which suggests it is solely “splash proof”—I do not even assume you possibly can run it underneath a sink faucet. (Generally, I wash my IP68 cellphone within the sink prefer it’s a unclean dish!) There’s additionally no wi-fi charging.
