OnePlus R Series Expansion Plans Revealed
A renowned leaker has outlined OnePlus’ plans to expand availability for its R series. Previously limited to India and other Asian markets, the R series is rumoured to reach Europe for the first time with the upcoming OnePlus 12R.
Insight into the OnePlus 12R and Its Advanced Features
Roland Quandt has shed some light on the availability of the OnePlus 12R, the global counterpart to the OnePlus Ace 3. To recap, OnePlus outlined a few details about the former at the start of the month, such as the presence of a 5,500 mAh battery and a 4th generation LTPO AMOLED display. Almost simultaneously, the company released the Ace 3 in China with various high-end components that belie its mid-range pricing.
The OnePlus 12R’s Potential Availability Beyond Asia
Typically, OnePlus restricts R series models to India and a few other Asian markets, including last year’s OnePlus 11R. According to Quandt, the company has decided to adopt a new approach with the OnePlus 12R, which he claims will also be available in Europe. A recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification suggests that the handset could receive a North American release too.
Global Release Plans and Unknown Pricing
Based on Quandt’s leak, it appears that OnePlus intends to sell the OnePlus 12R globally in black and blue, two of the Ace 3’s launch colours. Unfortunately, OnePlus 12R pricing remains unknown for now in any market. However, OnePlus has confirmed that both it and the OnePlus 12 will debut globally on January 23.
