So, you’ve been eyeing OnePlus’ current device roster and are trying to decide between the “full-fat” flagship OnePlus 12 and its slightly “step-down” OnePlus 12R sibling? There is hardly any doubt as to which one is the better overall phone. The OnePlus 12 is the clear winner when it comes to overall power and performance, camera setup, and additional features and connectivity options.
For starters, you can compare the complete specs sheets or directly continue with our editor’s assessment in the following text.
Let’s start with a quick physical comparison. While the two phones aren’t substantially different in terms of overall footprint, the OnePlus 12 is the bigger of the pair. It figures, given that it has a slightly larger 6.82-inch display versus 6.78-inch on the OnePlus 12R. The OnePlus 12 is also both a bit thicker and a bit heavier, which is kind of surprising, considering that the OnePlus 12R has a slightly larger 5,500 mAh battery (compared to 5,400 mAh in the regular OnePlus 12).
