In both cases, you will receive only a cable, a paper clip and documents in your smartphone’s box. Additionally, a film will be applied to the screen of OnePlus 12 and 12R. You can compare the features of these models for yourself in the first image below. You won’t notice any significant differences in battery life, display, or build quality between devices.
The 12R is slightly inferior to the regular version in terms of volume and sound quality, as well as vibration.
OnePlus 12 has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the 12R has a Snapdragon Gen 2 processor. Below are the comparison results. In general, neither one nor the other is suitable for games: it is better to take a gaming smartphone or another flagship with lower restrictions (loss of performance due to processor heating). For smartphones, which were also tested for autonomy, everything is approximately the same.

In terms of cameras, the OnePlus 12 and 12R have strong differences. The main module of the OnePlus 12R has a resolution of 50 MP, the 12 has 48 MP, the ultra-wide-angle camera of the younger version is of much lower quality, such as macro. The selfie camera on the 12R has a resolution of 16 MP with autofocus (the OnePlus 12 has 32 MP). The older model also has a good wide-angle lens with autofocus and a good periscope (zoom) feature. Sample images are above.
The price difference between OnePlus 12R and global versions of OnePlus 12 is about 20-30 thousand rubles. The 12R model has a much worse camera: no good optical zoom, poor macro, worse ultra-wide-angle camera. The same goes for video capture: with the OnePlus 12 it’s much better quality. Evgeny Makarov recommends buying Vivo X100 Pro or Oppo Find X7 Ultra as camera phones.
At the same time, if you want to buy OnePlus 12 or 12R, then it is better to save money and buy the Chinese version, because it can be easily upgraded to the global version.
