The NBTC listing suggests that the phone will be compatible with multiple network types such as GSM, WCDMA, LTE and NR.

The OnePlus 12 and 12R are already available in China and the OnePlus 12R will be the global counterpart, similar to the OnePlus Ace 3. Both the models are set to globally debut next week. We can expect a strong resemblance between the OnePlus 12R and the OnePlus Ace 3, launched recently in China. Famed leakster Roland Quandt has further substantiated this by sharing images that provide a glimpse of what the OnePlus 12R might look like. The OnePlus 12R has got several certifications globally, including approvals from TDRA, Bluetooth SIG, SIRIM, CQC and IMDA. Notably, te OnePlus 12R has also been listed on the NBTC certification website with the model number CPH2609, head of the official unveiling.

The listing suggests that the phone will be compatible with multiple network types such as GSM, WCDMA, LTE and NR, says a report by Gizmo China. Given that the OnePlus 12R serves as the international variant of the OnePlus Ace 3, it is likely to share similar features and specifications.

OnePlus 12R Price (Expected)

According to a previous report by TechPlus, (in German), the OnePlus 12R is expected to start at a price of $499 (approximately Rs 35,000) for the base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB memory. The higher-tier variant, featuring 16GB RAM and 256GB storage, is said to be priced at $599 (roughly Rs 42,000). Notably, the OnePlus 12 has already been launched in China, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and a 5,400mAh battery supported by 100W wired SuperVOOC charging.

The handset maker has already 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 of the handset. 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.

Earlier in December, OnePlus officially announced the global and India launch of its upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 12, alongside the OnePlus 12R, on January 23. The OnePlus 12R will succeed the OnePlus 11R. As already seen in the teaser image, the OnePlus 12R is likely to bring notable enhancements, as compared to its predecessors. According to leaks, the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Additionally, the smartphone is expected to showcase a substantial design upgrade, and possibly incorporate a curved display and a glass sandwich design complemented by a metallic mid-frame.
