OnePlus 12R Review: Design

OnePlus 12R looks similar to the more powerful and more expensive OnePlus 12. However, it features a regular glass back instead of a marble glass back. It's a good design and makes the phone stand out from other brands thanks to its camera module. The design is similar to last year's OnePlus 11.

You get the familiar large circular camera module that's placed on the top left of the back panel. We're reviewing the Cool Blue variant of the phone, which has a smooth, glossy back panel. The sides and the display are curved, making the phone comfortable to hold while also being slippery. However, the matte finish panel on the Iron Grey variant should offer more grip. The phone also has an excellent weight to it, as the frame is metal and both front and back panels are glass. The phone weighs 207 grams and feels premium

With the OnePlus 12R, the company has made a change to the Alert slider location. It is now placed on the left spine of the phone. This was the original placement of the iconic Alert slider when OnePlus first introduced it on the OnePlus 2. The right spine of the phone features the volume and power buttons. A speaker, USB Type-C port, microphone, and a SIM tray tool are available on the bottom, whereas the top houses a second mic, speaker, and an IR blaster.

The OnePlus 12R has a curved display on the front, getting relatively slim bezels all around. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and while OnePlus has included a screen guard on the phone, it is of poor quality, and I'd recommend installing a tempered glass guard. The phone gets an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, which is something that's offered in even cheaper phones these days.
