The 2024 Flagship Killer! - OnePlus 12R 30 day review

Remember the best OnePlus devices? The 12R massively reminds me of the golden generation, but why is that? Find out in Android Police's review of the OnePlus 12R - 30 days later!

Nobody speaks about the exceptional, no lag GPS tracking, very fast hotspot (much faster than Iphone, Pixel and any Exynos based phone), and amazing GSM reception. The phone stays cool even when driven hard: satnav, spotify via bluetooth, hotspot on for everyone in the car while charging.

Any phone with a charger is a premium+ phone by today's standards

Reviewers who complain about curved screen edges - do you actually use the phone in a case, like everyone else in the world? All the problems of the curved edge (e.g. phantom touch) completely go away when you put the phone in a case, especially with OnePlus first party cases.

8gen2 is still a solid flagship level processor.

Charging speed still cracks me up sometimes. I put my phone to charge at 6:30am while i poo and get ready for work and by 6:48 its at 100% from 50%

OnePlus 12r does support always on display

12r is the best priced phone, still a great Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, amazing display, battery life, fast charging and most importantly, ! Premium build quality - complete phone.

OnePlus guy from day one here. OnePlus One, 3T, 5T, 12. 5T was my favorite of all I had until the 12. They got away from what made them great for a few years there. But they're on a hell of an upswing currently IMO. Glad they're back.

The 12r is where it's at. I was stuck between the 12 and 12r. The experience is identical. Day time photos and video look the same coming from the primary 50mp lense. The 12r reminds me of the 7t/7pro . I highly recommend this phone for anyone

I'm very tempted to get the 12R 16gb ram 256gb storage all I need and not stupid expensive in the UK at £623.71 over 12 months interest free.
Comes with a charger so saving me a bit more.
Actually prefer the Snapdragon Gen 2 over gen 3 because runs cooler, never use cameras on mobiles.

i still remember when the oneplus one came out and i went to the mall and asked the woman selling phones if she had a oneplus one for sale she said "What is that"
my favorite is the oneplus 7 pro. for it's time, it was a nuclear phone destroying everything in its way by far.

The One Plus 12R is really only $400 in the US.

Just ordered a 12R to finally replace my OnePlus 6. (£50 off and free headphones offer from OnePlus in the UK at the moment.)
That's been an awesome phone.

I don't really feel that they were ever gone. People just didn't want to pay the higher price for the 9 and 10 series devices. The so-called resurgence of the brand really happened last year with the 11, Pad and the Open. All three devices were well received and came in at a price that people were willing to pay.
As far as the 12 is concerned, the pre-order price is already over. It is now selling for around $900 here in the United states. Of course, that's for the highest model.

[ditrixgenesis]

Wait I'd actually love the color and design if I could get it without the accessories. That's honestly so pretty

[zuhairreza]

Does it come with a pre-installed screen protector?

[Coohy]

I still remember buying my first phone ever the oneplus 3T from ebay because it wasn't avaliable in stores

[piotr]

The software has been improved. Not getting the same issue as you did.

[Lucuman]

I agree with the observation about the curved display at the end. They keep forcing it down but it only makes for unwanted touches and bigger phone cases...

Where can I get this Keqing edition? Prices online are going from 500 to 2000 sgd
