OnePlus 12R: Should You Buy or Wait for OnePlus 13R?

The OnePlus 13R will make its global debut on January 7, 2025, which will be the rebranded version of the recently launched OnePlus Ace 5. This means the next-gen OnePlus 13R will share the identical features as the Ace 5.

Given that, the OnePlus 13R will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, an upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 featured on the OnePlus 12R.

The OnePlus 13R will also pack a 6400mAh carbon silicon battery with 80W wired fast charging support. It will have a 6.78-inch 1.5K 8T OLED display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, the same as the OnePlus 12R.

For optics, the next-gen model could offer a triple-camera setup including a 50MP triple-camera system and a 16MP selfie camera, which is similar to the OnePlus 12R. However, the design of the camera setup is likely to be different on the OnePlus 13R. Moreover, the phone is expected to be priced at around Rs 40,000 in India.

While the OnePlus 13R will have a few upgrades over the OnePlus 12R, Amazon's current offer provides an excellent opportunity for those planning to buy a premium phone without breaking the bank.
