A new update has started rolling out to the OnePlus 12R, and it improves the phone’s camera, its performance, and more. This update is marked as OxygenOS 14.0.0.307, and it’s coming to Europe, the US, and India regions. It’s basically a global update.
Before we get to the changelog, do note that this update is rolling out in stages. That’s something we’re used to when it comes to updates at this point. OnePlus also has a tendency to roll out such updates a bit slower just to make sure no bugs pop up.
This OnePlus 12R update improves the camera performance, system performance in general & more
Having said that, let’s focus on the camera performance first. This update is supposed to improve the camera performance indoors. On top of that, it’s supposed to improve camera performance stability overall, says OnePlus.
The general stability and performance of OxygenOS 14 on the device have been improved, and the power consumption has also been optimized. The battery life should be a bit better now because of it.
OnePlus also tweaked the connectivity side of things. This update improves the stability and expands the compatibility of Bluetooth connections on the device. On top of that, it improves network stability and compatibility.
You’ll hardly find a better $500 smartphone out there
That’s basically everything that’s included in the changelog. Even without this update, we believed that the OnePlus 12R was the best $500 smartphone on the market, and with these improvements, it should become even better
The company really did manage to create a rather affordable smartphone considering what it offers on the inside. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is used here, along with a truly great LTPO AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The camera performance is not bad at all, and so on. Overall, the phone managed to impress us during our review period, and you can read more about that here.
