The OnePlus 12R or the OnePlus Ace 3 is getting a lot of attention lately. There are several reasons why this device has become the standard, and one of the main reasons is that it is a more affordable OnePlus device with decent specs all around. The recently released camera samples showed that the camera on the phone is going to be an impressive addition, and now, the company has teased a few more details about the upcoming budget flagship.
OnePlus 12R is taking the “never settle” approach with top-tier specs in a more affordable package
According to the official statement from OnePlus, the OnePlus 12R will have really thin bezels, confirming that the screen is going to be flat. The bezels on the left and right are measured at just 1.36mm, while the bezels at the top and bottom are measured at 1.94mm. This might not seem like an impressive number, but when you compare this screen-to-body ratio with other phones in the market at the same price, you realize that the decision here makes more sense.
In addition to that, the OnePlus 12R is also going to come with a metal frame, which will ensure that the phone gives you the proper feeling when it is in your hands. Most companies cheap out and use plastic, and while I understand that plastic is a better cost-cutting measure, the metal feel is just something that you cannot match. The source also reveals that the phone is going to come with an ultra-sonic fingerprint sensor, which is something that we have not seen before. You also get ultra-linear stereo speakers for impressive sound quality. Last but not least, OnePlus has confirmed that the phone will be getting three major Android versions and four years of security watches, so it means that the phone will be running Android 17, as well, whenever that might come out.
At this point, it has become evident that despite being more affordable, the OnePlus 12R is not going to compromise on materials or the overall user experience. This makes the new phone even more exciting than its older sibling, and both phones are going to be released at the same time. So, if you are genuinely looking for something that will deliver a top-of-the-line experience without burning a hole in your pocket, then this definitely is something that you should be looking into.
The OnePlus 12R is going to go official on January 23rd but will debut in China as the OnePlus Ace 3 in a couple of days. As always, you can stay tuned, and we will provide you with all the information that comes forward.
