The OnePlus 12 series is expected to launch in India, and amid competition from other flagship smartphones, OnePlus’s appeal will largely depend on rumours regarding its price.OnePlus is set to introduce the OnePlus 12 series in India in less than two weeks. The smartphone models in the series will be the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R. We know exactly what to expect from the smartphones because they have already been released in the Chinese market, so we have a very good idea about what to expect from the India versions as well. The cost of the smartphones is the only thing that is unknown right now. Additionally, a plethora of flagship devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy and iQOO 12, have debuted in the last two months,including the iQOO 12, Samsung Galaxy S24 series, and the Vivo X100 series, pricing is a very critical decision maker for customers looking to buy a new smartphone.
A number of leaks over the past few weeks have provided us with an idea of the potential price of the OnePlus 12 in India. The OnePlus 12R is largely expected to start at around Rs 35,000 and go up to Rs 42,000 for the top model, according to rumours. On the other hand, the OnePlus 12 is expected to start at Rs. 65,000, with the most expensive variant potentially costing Rs. 75,000. Please be aware that these are only estimations based on current rumours and do not represent the precise cost.Essentially, the leaked pricings suggest that the OnePlus 12 could be pricier than the OnePlus 11. For perspective, the starting price of the OnePlus 11 was Rs 56,999 at the time of its launch.
Rumour has it that the Samsung Galaxy S24 series will cost less than the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup at the same time. A lower price tag is probably going to sway a lot of people towards Samsung devices, especially since the new Samsung flagship “AI Phones” are expected to have some significant camera and functionality upgrades. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series, with a starting price of Rs 74,999, was announced in India in 2023. The cost of the Galaxy S23 Ultra was Rs 1,24,999, while the Galaxy S23+ was priced at Rs 94,999.Cutting OnePlus too close to Samsung might not be the best idea. For the business, the OnePlus 12 flagship should be priced around $50,000. Although OnePlus aficionados might still purchase the device, the device’s price tag, which is on the higher side, may encourage more people to think about purchasing a Samsung flagship, which they might be able to do by simply adding a few thousand more to the OnePlus 12.
Customers have a lot to look forward to if the OnePlus 12 is priced more affordably. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip from Qualcomm will power the OnePlus 12. It will have a 6.82-inch QHD+ display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and an LTPO AMOLED panel.
