The all-new OnePlus 12R is now getting its very first software update. That update is mainly focused on camera improvements, but some other boosts are also listed in the official changelog.
The update is marked as Oxygen OS v14.0.0.307 (EX01), and it is now rolling out to India. That very same update is expected to hit more markets very soon, as the OnePlus 12R launched in both the US and Europe as well. The update itself weighs 400MB.
The OnePlus 12R is getting its very first software update with various improvements
As per usual, the update is rolling out in stages. Therefore, you may not get it from the get-go, even when it starts rolling out to other markets. It is coming over the air (OTA), and the phone will let you know once it’s time to update. You can also check manually via the settings, though, of course.
Now, in terms of changes, let’s start with the camera. This update improves indoor photography, says OnePlus. It also improves camera performance and stability for an overall better photography experience.
System stability and performance, in general, have been improved. The power consumption has been optimized as well, and the phone should be able to offer even better battery life.
Bluetooth & network stability has been improved, in addition to camera improvements
The stability and the compatibility of Bluetooth connections have been improved too, as have network stability and compatibility. That is basically it as far as the changelog is concerned.
The OnePlus 12R actually may be the best option for most people, over the OnePlus 12. The OnePlus 12 is the better phone, but the OnePlus 12R is very affordable, well, at least in the US.
This phone does cut some corners in the camera and charging departments, and it also has an inferior chip. For the most part, it does look like a very compelling smartphone, especially for the asking price.
We’re in the process of reviewing this device, and the review is coming soon. So, if you’re still trying to decide whether to get it, perhaps we’ll be able to help out.
