Do you like flagship-grade phones that don't cost an arm and a leg? The OnePlus 12R is one of the best mid-range phones. It impresses with its display and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. And now, it's a more affordable choice than usual, as Amazon has discounted it by $70!Before you say anything, we know this fella was actually a much better choice last week. During the October Prime Day shopping event, you could save $120 on it with Prime.
You get a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rates and superb brightness. Having used and tested it extensively, we were amazed by the display quality and its new water detection and reactive touch support in particular. What's that? Simply put, it lets you use the device even when it's raining.
So far, so good. By now, you're probably asking yourself if you'd have to make any compromises with the camera. Well, yes and no. Thislacks a telephoto lens, so zoomed photos won't look their best. However, shots taken with the 50 + 8 + 2 MP rear sensors and 16 MP selfie camera have lots of details and look lovely in most scenarios. Plus, the handset's camera is pretty capable of capturing accurate colors.
On the not-so-great side of things, the OnePlus 12R will receive three years of OS updates. That means Android 17 should be the final OS version. That shouldn't be a major dealbreaker, we think, and that's why it's pretty easy to recommend this bad boy, especially when it's $70 off its $600 MSRP.
