What’s new with the OnePlus 12R?
OnePlus 12R is equipped with the Cryo-Velocity Cooling System for internal heat dissipation. These vapour champers have a total area of 9140mm2, which is said to be 76 percent bigger than the one inside the OnePlus 11R. The system works in a way that the small chamber absorbs heat directly from the chipset and distributes it evenly across the system. The larger vapour chamber absorbs the heat from the smaller one, and lets it cool down.
OnePlus 12R also comes with the newly repositioned Alert Slider. It now sits on the left side instead of the right side. OnePlus says that by doing so it could change the position of the antennas which in turn helps improve the gaming performance when the game is held in landscape orientation.
It also features ‘Aqua Touch’ that is designed to make you use the OnePlus 12R work normally even with raindrops falling on the screen. So even if it’s raining outside, you shouldn’t have any touch issues with the OnePlus 12R’s display.
