OnePlus has officially teased the OnePlus 12R, revealing its first image. A notable departure from its predecessor, the OnePlus 11R, the OnePlus 12R will be available in Cool Blue and Iron Gray colorways. The Cool Blue model sports a glossy finish, offering a fresh appearance, while the Iron Gray variant boasts a matte feel for a sophisticated and robust touch.
The handset maker has also confirmed the OnePlus 12R will feature its "biggest battery ever" and showcase a fourth-generation LTPO 120Hz ProXDR display. Although the screen size remains undisclosed, leaks suggest a substantial 6.78-inch panel. The inclusion of LTPO technology ensures an adaptive refresh rate, contributing to enhanced battery efficiency—a trend observed in leading Android smartphone models.
