Amazon may have just confirmed the OnePlus 12’s big price hike over the OnePlus 11،
Are you excited to see the state-of-the-art OnePlus 12, revealed exclusively in China just over a month ago, finally rolled out internationally in less than a few weeks? You might want to start saving if you are, because it certainly looks like OnePlus' next big project will cost a lot more than its surprisingly budget-friendly predecessor.
Too expensive for its own good? Not necessarily…
Unless Amazon temporarily and prematurely releases incorrect information (which seems unlikely), this Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor is expected to cost Rs 70,000 in the world's second most populous country in an entry-level configuration with 256 GB of internal storage space and generous storage space. 12 GB of RAM.
That's about 845 US dollars at today's official conversion rate, but of course that doesn't mean the
OnePlus 12The recommended price in the
United States will be exactly $845. Instead, we're now even more inclined to believe that the ultra-premium handset will
start at $799 in the land of the free and the land of the brave, thus adding a full Benjamin to the price of the OnePlus 11 in its most expensive version. affordable. variant.
Indeed, the previous generation OnePlus flagship normally starts at Rs. 9,999. 56,999 in India, which would make this freshly leaked Rs 1,000,000. 69,999, priced around 22% higher. While we realize this sounds bad, there are a number of important things you need to consider before you start shaking your fist in front of your computer screen (or current phone) in anger.
The key detail to take into account is that the cheapest OnePlus 11 model only packs 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage space, so of course increasing those numbers to 12 and 256 respectively will cost more. business, which must be reflected in the retail price to one degree or another.
The OnePlus 12 also brings several other major improvements over its fairly well-reviewed predecessor, although it remains to be seen whether this will be reflected in even better reviews when all is said, done and analyzed. These other upgrades include much better cameras, a newer and faster processor, a slightly larger screen with path higher peak brightness values, a bigger battery, and the return of wireless charging support.
The OnePlus 12R will in any case be the ideal and economical alternative
Plus, if you have such a big problem with the cost of the next OnePlus superpower, you can always go for the “normal” 12R powerhouse. This one should cost a much more reasonable $499 in the US with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, plus an outdated but still impressive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, and somehow, an even larger 5,500 mAh battery than the OnePlus 12 squeezed into a slightly smaller and lighter body.
The OnePlus 12R is almost certain to look exactly the same as the Ace 3 (pictured here).
The OnePlus 12R is technically not official in any region yet, although it is extremely clear that all of its specs and features will be “borrowed” from the Chinese Ace 3. For $599, the 12R should increase your memory and storage to 16 and 256 gigs respectively, thus undeniably beating Samsung's Galaxy S23 FE, Google's Pixel 8 and
Motorola Edge (2023) in terms of value for money, at least on paper.
Naturally, we expect a second variant of the OnePlus 12 to also hit markets like the US and India, combining 16GB of RAM with 512GB of internal storage space for around $100 and Rs 5,000 more than an entry-level model. Hard choices everywhere, huh?
