Uswitch mobiles expert Ru Bhihka comments on the launch of the OnePlus 12 Series:
“The new OnePlus 12 and 12R should really excite UK consumers, offering some seriously premium and innovative features at a lower price tag than most ‘flagship’ smartphone launches.
“Starting from £649 for the 12R, the OnePlus 12 doesn’t sacrifice quality, and will likely have appeal to current Android users, and budget conscious consumers who value phone aesthetics.
“Consumers in Europe don’t usually get a chance to purchase the ‘R’ range of devices from OnePlus, and both of OnePlus’ new phones have some really stunning design options, inspired by luxury watches.
“For those into gaming, the OnePlus 12R could be a strong option with its performance-focused hardware and even a Genshin Impact special edition. The OnePlus 12 model also offers useful features, with a Dual Cry-velocity VC cooling system that will prevent overheating during marathon gaming sessions and concurrent charging.
“Another helpful and unique ingredient of the phone series is Aquatouch - a new component allowing for high quality touch screen performance, even if it is raining. It is likely this technology will pave the way for adoption into future hardware, including wearables.
“If having access to the latest in AI is more your bag then the OnePlus 12 offers Qualcomm’s most advanced chipset yet. It also comes with Hasselblad cameras that will now let you shoot any subject in portrait now at 6x zoom - a unique feature adding bokeh ‘blur quality’ for the feeling of creative freedom and professionalism. These features all come for a lower price than the latest Samsung phones, and clearly put more creative opportunity back in the hands of savvy snappers”.
