The OnePlus 12R is also confirmed to ship with the 4th generation LTPO display technology. This would allow the smartphone’s display to seamlessly switch from 1Hz to 120Hz while offering a smooth experience. The adaptive refresh rate also translates into a longer battery life than usual.

OnePlus 12R vs Nothing Phone 2A
Traditionally, the R series phones from OnePlus are the stripped-down variants of the company’s flagships that come with apparent compromises to keep the price in check. The phones, however, retain the brand’s essence, offering a similar look, feel, and user experience.
Taking a cue from this, Nothing is also expected to unveil its affordable smartphone, dubbed theNothing Phone 2A. While the idea of an affordable flagship experience parallels OnePlus’s strategy, the nomenclature seems to be inspired by Google.
Aside from the core idea, both phones are expected to come with different specs and could be priced aggressively. Unlike OnePlus, Nothing has yet to confirm the existence of Phone 2A, which could be attributed to OnePlus’s strong user base in its home region, China, where the phone was released under different branding.
