Should you buy the OnePlus 12 over the OnePlus 13?
While the OnePlus 12 is now available for ₹57,999, we believe that for most people, the OnePlus 13 could be a better deal even after discounts. If you can stretch your budget, opting for the OnePlus 13 might be a smarter choice.
How? Well, the OnePlus 13 also gets a ₹5,000 instant discount, bringing its effective price down to ₹64,999 from ₹69,999. Additionally, there is a no-cost EMI option, along with an exchange bonus of up to ₹7,000, making the offer even more attractive.
That said, some users may still prefer the OnePlus 12. Why? Firstly, not everyone has a phone to exchange, and their budget may be strictly limited to ₹55,000– ₹60,000. Also, some people prefer the curved design of the OnePlus 12 over the OnePlus 13’s boxy look with flat sides. And finally, the OnePlus 12 features a slightly curved display, which many users find more immersive compared to the flat display of the OnePlus 13.
So, if you prioritise these aspects, the OnePlus 12 could still be a great choice for you over the OnePlus 13.
