Design
The OnePlus 12R will retain the design of its predecessor
OnePlus will continue to offer the design principles they introduced on the 11R. It seems like the brand really wants to create its own unique identity and not change the looks every year. The upcoming OnePlus 12R will sport a center-postioned punch-hole cutout similar to 11R, slightly slimmer bezels, and an in-display fingeprint reader. At the back, it'll retain an 11R-like camera island.

On the display front, the OnePlus 12R will be nearly similar to the 11R. It will feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1.5K resolution. We expect the screen to support LTPO technolgy as well.
