The OnePlus 12R delivers an outstanding display and industry-leading battery life, making it a compelling value-focused alternative to last year's flagship. However, its secondary cameras lack versatility and it omits wireless charging, which may deter users prioritizing camera performance or premium features.

The OnePlus 12R delivers flagship-level performance and a stunning 4,500-nit display at a $499 price point. Its main drawbacks are the lack of wireless charging, an underwhelming macro camera, and only splash resistance.
