OnePlus 12R To Be Launched In 2 Colours

Handset maker OnePlus has already officially revealed the first image of the OnePlus 12R, the second model of the OnePlus 12 series, the first OnePlus R Series device to launch in global markets. The device has been shown in Cool Blue and Iron Gray colourways, which is a departure from its predecessor, OnePlus 11R which did not get a blue colour variant.

The OnePlus 12R Cool Blue model has a glossy finish with a light, fresh appearance, while Iron Gray has a matte feel to give a sophisticated and strong feeling, as per the handset maker.

The handset maker has also confirmed that the OnePlus 12R will get the "biggest battery ever". OnePlus has used a fourth-generation LTPO 120Hz ProXDR display for the OnePlus 12R. However, the company is keeping mum on the screen size. Some leaks and rumours hint at a sizeable 6.78-inch panel. The inclusion of LTPO technology is pivotal, offering an adaptive refresh rate to enhance battery efficiency -- a trend observed in top Android smartphone models.
