OnePlus 12R Is Getting a Stylish New “Sunset Dune” Color Option

OnePlus is giving its popular OnePlus 12R smartphone a fresh look with the introduction of a new color variant called Sunset Dune. This news comes courtesy of the company's Indian branch, which recently shared a teaser image showcasing the phone's rose gold camera island on X (formerly Twitter).

Sunset Dune Joins the Party

While OnePlus hasn't revealed a specific launch date for the Sunset Dune model, it's expected to arrive in the coming weeks. More importantly, there will be no changes to the phone's specifications - the update is purely aesthetic.

Drawing Inspiration from the East

Eagle-eyed fans might recognize the Sunset Dune color scheme. It closely resembles the Mingsha Gold (translated to Dune Gold) variant of the OnePlus Ace 3, a phone launched exclusively in China.

This suggests that the OnePlus 12R Sunset Dune borrows this design element from its Chinese counterpart. The OnePlus 12R itself is essentially a rebranded version of the Ace 3.
