OnePlus 12R: How Good Is This “Flagship Killer”? 🤔

This is the OnePlus 12R, the “little brother” of the OnePlus 12 that was first announced in January 2024 and is now available in Malaysia.
Priced at RM3,199 (~USD675), this mid-range smartphone rocks a list of features that is VERY close to flagship-level, including a stunning 6.78-inch AMOLED display, powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a versatile triple-camera setup, 100W SUPERVOOC fast charging, and the intuitive OxygenOS 14 interface.
So, is this phone truly a “flagship killer”? Well, let’s find out!

[@julianasbatarginas8188]

I have no regrets of 12r at all. Great performance, ultra fast charging, sturdy body , great display

[@lumuntadprincess8613]

Next oneplus 12

[@trisongnanaraj9881]

OnePlus 12 or Samsung S23 ultra overall??

[@madmann6723]

Had for about a month now and it's just a pleasure for the most part. Honestly I like Oxygen OS better than stock AOSP.

[@AdamLoboTV]

Glad to hear that buddy 😃

[@nassahdeys92]

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is still a huge powerhouse! Seems like a blast playing games on this phone!

[@AdamLoboTV]

Spot on man, it’s so well integrated in this phone 😃

[@julianasbatarginas8188]

The cpu is one of the best in 2024 and future

[@MDMZ]

I miss using my phone as a remote 😅 great feature all phones should have

[@AdamLoboTV]

Hehe yeah man, absolutely 😃

[@lehudphotowork]

Amazing colorr 🎉 display gorgeous as always

[@AdamLoboTV]

Yeah man! It truly has an amazing display 😍

[@QuePit]

Flagship killer indeed 😏

[@AdamLoboTV]

Yeap! 😃

[@arunkumar.a8990]

Im using OnePlus 12r ❤

[@AdamLoboTV]

Nice!

[@arunkumar.a8990]

@@AdamLoboTV can you suggest me for low watt pd charger

[@julianasbatarginas8188]

By the way it was released in February, not january. In EU it came in march

[@euricchong8788]

To be honest, OP12R is priced a little high. Its competitor like the Xiaomi 13t/pro and Vivo V30/pro have more reasonable prices. By the way, sir Adam can you make a video on "Is M1 Macbook Air still worth buying in 2024?"

[@AdamLoboTV]

Thanks for your feedback and will look into your suggestion too brother 😃

[@ThisIsJ3]

Macam good for mobile gaming!

[@AdamLoboTV]

Indeed it is bro 😃

[@prasathgopi6978]

I have bought this last week and looking for a good case to protect it, as it has curved screen which can be easy to break, can you recommend good case for this.. thanks and as always amazing video

[@AdamLoboTV]

Hey man. I always only use hard clear phone cases for this, doesn’t matter which brand, as long as it’s a reputable brand, you should be good buddy 😃

[@mkhidir93]

Another great video Adam. Between this and the S23, which would you recommend? I'm liking the battery performance of the 12R. But I also like the useful Galaxy AI features on the S23.

[@AdamLoboTV]

Because of the Galaxy AI as you mentioned, the S24 would be better in terms of software, cameras on this was a better for me on this OnePlus 12R and the screen too 😃

[@euricchong8788]

I'm a past base S23 user. Upgraded to the Ultra model few months ago because I needed the extra battery capacity and a bigger screen as I'm more of a heavy user. To be honest, OP12R can't really be compared to S23 as they are designed for 2 different types of customers. Budget flagship and true flagship. It depends on what are your priorities when deciding which one to get (Battery size/ charging speed/ camera performance/ water resistance rating/ screen size/ pocketability). Advantages of OP12R: -An extra generation of Android update (until Android 18) -LTPO display -4500 nits peak brightness -bigger display -Has IR blaster -Alert slider -Bigger battery - Faster charging Advantages of S23 -Smaller form factor -Lighter weight -IP68 water resistant -Better camera with telephoto 3X zoom lens -Better video recording (8K30fps on the back; 4K60fps on the front cam) -Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner -Galaxy AI & Samsung Dex -Wireless charging & Reverse wireless charging Pricing wise, it depends on where you're buying the device. If you're buying the S23, I would not encourage to buy directly from Samsung store as they're always "money-hungry" 😂. Buy from trustable sellers on Shopee like "Mobile Gadgets" instead (they sell genuine products, don't worry). As of now, the S23 256gb model is priced at around RM2499. On the other hand, the OP12R would be RM3000+. Hope this helps😊

[@praneshm.p.2536]

​@@euricchong8788the price that u have mentioned in the last paragraph for s23 is insane. Is it for the new model or the used one ?

Waiting for Poco f6 and f6 pro video

[@AdamLoboTV]

Coming! 😃

[@newfnshow031]

The phone uses 2 batteries stacked which is how they do it.

[@AdamLoboTV]

Thanks for the info! 😃

[@madhurjo.karmaker]

Please, do not forget to mention the vibration quality of the phones you review from the next time. I am a huge fan of your videos. Thanks!

[@AdamLoboTV]

Thanks for the feedback and yes the vibration quality and haptic feedback was great

[@mannyowan784]

no charger ?

[@CMG02]

It comes with a 80 watt or 100 watt charger depending on your country.

[@hnrykylespdd2076]

Only 1080p/30fps on front cam is crazy for it's price 💀💀💀

[@AdamLoboTV]

I have seen smartphone brands which has 4k front video but the dynamic range is no where near as 1080p cameras like this . It’s not all about the resolution my dear friend 🙂

[@hnrykylespdd2076]

@@AdamLoboTV I know but it should have at least 60fps for it's price

[@lvt910]

You wear 2 smart watches. 😊

[@AdamLoboTV]

Nope, one is a fitness tracker 🙂

[@TanvirAhmed-96]

No charger in Box?!!

[@bokomacedonia]

Depending on the region, mine is the Indian version and it came with 100w SuperVooc.

[@ForeverKinG848]

Just exchange my poco f5 with oneplus 12r.

[@macariogon]

I have experienced a way better gaming experience with the 12rvthan my 12...

[@AdamLoboTV]

Oh wow, that’s interesting, which games did you play buddy?

[@macariogon]

@@AdamLoboTV COD Mobile... Diablo Mobile... Some other high frame games.. actually the touch sensitivity is higher than the 12 version.. that makes a huge difference in my opinion.. plus a better optimization..

[@AdamLoboTV]

@@macariogon Cool! Thanks for letting all of us know man 😃

[@krishanthafernando8866]

Poco F6 competitor. We'll see. Nice editing by the way.

[@AdamLoboTV]

Thanks man 😃. Yeap! Poco F6 competitor indeed

[@newfnshow031]

prob the ugliest phone I've ever seen OnePlus has terrible customer service also

[@AdamLoboTV]

Seems like the terrible customer service that you got is misguiding your vision on OnePlus , consider having a more opened perspective my friend 😃
