On the Cool Blue, though, the lack of frosted glass means that the back is extremely shiny.
While pretty, fingerprints and smudges stick to it like glue.
It also sports Aqua Touch, a feature that the OnePlus 12 also came with.
Games look fantastic on it, and I tested it withGenshim ImpactandAsphalt 8with no issues.
It’s still not my favorite design ever, but it never feels bad in the hands, either.
Side-by-side, it’s almost impossible to tell these two devices apart.
But how does that all translate to performance?
Like I said, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is still a really good chipset.
It actually performed better in benchmarks than I saw from the OnePlus 12, which was somewhat surprising.
The higher the score, the better the phone’s systems performed.
Overall, there’s nothing to worry about when it comes to heat distribution here.
But what about the battery life?
However, battery life was still really good, especially for a more budget-conscious phone.
Is it really a flagship killer?
Overall, though, the OnePlus 12R is still a really solid equipment.
TheOnePlus 12Ris available for preorder now.
