Android users have many wonderful options for phones that meet all needs and budgets. Thanks to the Google Pixel lineup and the Samsung Galaxy 24 series, the time has never been better for high-performance Android devices. One phone that deserves a bit more attention than it gets is the OnePlus 12, which offers plenty of excellent features and comes with an affordable price tag. But that’s not all. We’ve tracked down some deals that can help you rack up additional savings and have listed them below.

The OnePlus 12 offers several upgrades over its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, the most significant of which are internal changes. The newer device is now powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a top-tier processor that improves overall performance. The baseline RAM was upped to 12GB from the previous model’s 8GB, and the minimum storage doubled to 256GB. The OnePlus 12 has a 5,400-mAh battery, an improvement over its predecessor’s 5,000-mAh battery.

OnePlus also launched the OnePlus 12R alongside its newest flagship handset. The 12R is a more budget-focused device with lower specs and a less expensive starting price. It runs on the older Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and has a pared-back camera setup and a shorter software support period, but it’s still a solid budget phone starting at $500. 

How much does the OnePlus 12 cost?

OnePlus is known for offering some of the most affordable flagship devices on the market. The OnePlus 12 follows in this tradition, with prices coming in under a grand.

The base model offers 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM for $800, or you can grab the more robust model, which sports 512GB of storage and 16GB for RAM for just $100 more. 

The OnePlus 12R is the cheaper option in the lineup, starting at $500 for the 128GB model with 8GB of RAM. You can bump the specs up to 256GB of storage and 16GB of RAM for $100 more.
