The OnePlus 12R design and color variants have been revealed just a few weeks ahead of the launch. The company had already confirmed that it will be launching the OnePlus 12R at a global event on January 23. Now, the brand has released a teaser video of the OnePlus Ace 3 on Weibo, which has revealed its design. Notably, the OnePlus Ace 3 will be launching globally as the 12R.
The OnePlus 12R will resemble the OnePlus 12 in terms of design
As seen in the teaser video, the OnePlus Ace 3 aka 12R will resemble its flagship sibling in terms of design. The toned-down offering will be featuring a similar looking large circular camera module at the rear, just like the OnePlus 12. However, the phone will be ditching the Hasselblad branding as well as the Periscope telephoto lens to keep the cost down.
According to earlier reports, the OnePlus 12R will be offering a 50MP Sony IMX890 primary camera at the rear. The main sensor will be accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens as well as a 2MP shooter. Earlier leaks indicated that the third 12R camera will have a 32MP sensor. However, it was reportedly ditched for a smaller macro lens. For selfies and video calling, the 12R is said to offer a 16MP snapper. It will be placed inside a hole towards the top of the screen.
The OnePlus 12R could be arriving in Black, Blue, and Gold color options
The teaser for the Ace 3 or 12R indicates that it will be available in an attractive Gold hue. In addition, the reliable gadget tipster Ishaan Agarwal has posted two more color variants of the device on X.com. The leak contains a promotional poster for the launch date of the 12R. It has revealed that the additional color options will be Black and shiny Blue. There’s a possibility that the Gold color options will be exclusive to the China-only Ace 3 model of the 12R.
The 12R is said to feature a ProXDR LTPO display and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC
The upcoming OnePlus 12R smartphone’s alleged specifications leaked on the interwebs quite recently. The handset is said to offer a 6.78-inch ProXDR LTPO display, which will have a refresh rate of 120Hz. At the helm, the phone will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The chipset will be aided by up to 16GB of LPDDRX5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS4.0 storage.
Furthermore, the rumor mill indicates that the OnePlus 12R will flaunt a 5,500mAh battery. Notably, the OnePlus 12 flagship has a slightly smaller 5,400mAh power cell. The 12R will also boast 100W fast charging capabilities to quickly top up the battery.
OnePlus will initially introduce the OnePlus 12R as the Ace 3 in China on January 4. It will be globally launched a couple of weeks later in markets like India, Europe, and North America.
