The OnePlus 12 is not the only large phone with which the manufacturer plans to dominate 2024: The OnePlus 12R is almost here. And without the usual limited distribution of R models: OnePlus has revealed the first details of the smartphone, including its design.
Before a leaker reveals a device, the brand itself communicates it, this is one of the trends we experience before the latest key launches. Xiaomi launches small pills before launch, just like OPPO or Realme do, for example. And OnePlus is no stranger to this strategy, as before models like the OnePlus 12 we have witnessed leaks of a good amount of official information. With the OnePlus 12R, history repeats itself.

It will have good performance as standard, it remains to be seen whether the brand will focus on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or on one of the high-end MediaTeks.
