If a phone weighs more than 200 grams, it should be classified as a portable power bank with smart capabilities instead of a smartphone. When will this insanity end.

    Mike4, 05 Feb 2024Exactly, its actually 759 euros at my nearest retailer toda... moreIn my country its £650 for pre order off the oneplus site for the top config model (16 gb ram, 256gb storage) and that actually CANT be beaten at that price.

    Saying poco x6 pro beats this, a £400 phone that is actually only better in it being a 12 bit display and bt 5.4 over bt 5.3, in every other aspect this phone is just better from a more power efficent and slighlty higher res screen, better charging, better wifi spec, better build quality, better cameras with high framerate recording, better ip protection, bigger battery, an actual proximity sensor.

    People saying the s23, thats a £500 flagship that has a worse screen in every aspect, slower charging, tiny battery, worse comms like wifi, bt, no IR blaster, just better usb spec if you do physical data transfer, it looks like the same main cam on both that'll do x2 zoomed pics just fine... Really isnt a better choice. (nor the s23fe being anywhere near good enough).

    I'd go for a year or 2 old flagship (usually xiaomi or oppo purely based on better prices for used prices plus usually in better condition too) but £650 for the top config version isnt really that bad and after 6 months it'll probably drop to more like £400-£450 new.

      IP68, Wireless charging and esim are missing which is a disadvantage at this price

        Anonymous, 06 Feb 2024Amazing how little you get for 700 euro these days...True... Even Nord 3 from Oneplus is a bit too expensive, but still a way better buy than the 12R

          Take the Nord 3 and save 30-40%.. the experience is the same, you skip the display with curves, and you get the same okay camera setup

                It's crazy how no one acknowledges the fact that OnePlus launched a 128GB variant (UFS 3.1). In 2024? When even Poco X6 Pro gives UFS 4.0??

                The price gap of 6k (~$72) between the variants speaks volumes.

                  At this price a 12mp ultrawide is a must.

                    This is a pretty solid phone in the US for $500. Not many good mid-rangers at this price in the US. Curved glass is kinda annoying though....

                          For 700 EUR this phone is DOA in Europe. It's competing with the Pixel 8, S23 and Xiaomi 13, while having useless low-res secondary cameras. OnePlus may clear their inventory of 2MP cameras on the Nord series, not on a device this expensive.

                            >No telephoto camera

                            Lol. Lmao

                              Why does this look like one of the vivo v series from the front??

                              Good phone overall though . I'm not really much of a camera person so I guess that's why I see no problem in the picture samples .

                                      12R beats 12 in geekbench

                                      yeah, something is definitely messed up with the 12. Lots of users reporting the same scores that GSMA got too. Oneplus messed up the software... what a surprise lol

                                        What a dumb decision to keep the curved display for this gen.
