Description:
The OnePlus 12 could cost even more than the OnePlus 11, but the OnePlus 12R 
might give you almost as much for a lot less.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Hot on the heels of the Samsung Galaxy S24 line, which were expecting to see 
on January 17, OnePlus is globally launching the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R 
on January 23, and the latest leaks are bad news for the 12 but good news for 
the 12R. 

Specifically, we now have an idea of how much these phones might cost, with 
Techpuls (via Phone Arena ) claiming that the OnePlus 12 will start at $799 
(around 630 / AU$1,200). Thats for a version with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of 
storage, while a 16GB / 512GB model reportedly costs $899 (roughly 710 / 
AU$1,340). 

For reference, the OnePlus 11 starts at $699 / 729 / AU$1,199, so this would 
make the OnePlus 12 $100 more. That said, you are getting more for your 
money, as the OnePlus 11s starting configuration has 128GB of storage and 8GB 
of RAM, so youre getting more of both with the OnePlus 12, along with various 
other upgrades. 

We know exactly what those upgrades are as the OnePlus 12 has already been 
announced in China, and they include a bigger, brighter screen, a newer 
chipset, a bigger battery, and upgraded cameras. So the OnePlus 12 will 
arguably be worth this price hike, but it might push the phone out of some 
peoples budgets. A cheaper choice 

For those people though, theres the OnePlus 12R, which was also included in 
this leak, and apparently starts at $499 (around 390 / AU$750), which gets 
you 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. Then theres supposedly a model with 
256GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, costing $599 (approximately 470 / AU$890). 

The OnePlus 12R hasnt yet been announced even for China, but OnePlus has 
teased it so we know its coming, and between those teasers and leaks we also 
know many of the likely specs. These include a massive 5,500mAh battery with 
100W charging, a 6.78-inch 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset , and a 
triple-lens camera, including a 50MP main snapper, an 8MP ultra-wide one, and 
a 2MP macro one. 

So while not quite a match for the standard OnePlus 12, those are some fairly 
high-end specs, and at a far more affordable price. We would of course take 
these prices with a pinch of salt for now though. (Image credit: FCC / 
MySmartPrice) 

This isnt the only new OnePlus 12R leak though, as the phone has also been 
spotted on a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database (via 
MySmartPrice ), complete with actual photos of the phone  some of which you 
can see above  and mention of Android 14 and the already confirmed 5,500mAh 
battery. 

As you can see in the images, it looks a lot like the OnePlus 12 too, with 
the same basic camera design, so this could prove a popular alternative to 
the companys pricey flagship. 

Well have a clearer idea once these phones are fully unveiled on January 23, 
and TechRadar will bring you all the details on the day, so head back here 
then. You might also like OnePlus 12 : release date, price, features and
