To check how this deal works, visit Flipkart and search for the OnePlus 12R. You will find the phone listed for ₹38,078, down 17% from its MRP of ₹45,999.

Should you buy the OnePlus 12R so close to OnePlus 13R launch?

For around ₹36,000 to ₹38,000, the OnePlus 12R, particularly the 256GB model with 16GB of RAM, offers great value for money. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which is flagship-grade and not far behind the performance of newer chipsets like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Additionally, the device features an LTPO curved display panel, a large 5,500mAh battery with fast charging support, and Android 15, which it recently received. The Aqua Touch technology enables you to use the display even when it’s wet. The phone also gets a 50MP main camera alongside ultrawide and macro shooters, making it a well-rounded package.

Overall, the OnePlus 12R remains an excellent value-for-money purchase. However, the OnePlus 13R is launching on January 7. Its pricing might not differ significantly from the OnePlus 12R, so if you can wait, the OnePlus 13R may be worth the wait.
