iQOO 12 5G price has been significantly discounted during the Amazon Great Republic Day 2025 Sale and the flagship device from iQOO is now competing with the newly launched OnePlus 13R. Out of the two, which device should you purchase? Here’s a quick comparison to help you make a decision.

iQOO 12 5G: New Price

The iQOO 12 5G price has been reduced from Rs 52,999 to Rs 45,999 for the base 12GB + 256GB trim while the 16GB + 512GB model is selling for Rs 50,999, down from the original price of Rs 57,999. Moreover, there’s a Rs 3,000 coupon users can apply, along with another Rs 1,000 SBI card coupon or Rs 1,250 SBI EMI coupon. With the Rs 3,000 coupon, the price of the base model drops to Rs 42,999 and the top-end model costs Rs 47,999.

iQOO 12: Should You Consider it Over OnePlus 13R?

The OnePlus 13R starts at Rs 42,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model and Rs 49,999 for the 16GB + 512GB version. As you could see, the devices compete with each other neck-to-neck but which one should be your pick?

Starting off with the display, the iQOO 12 5G comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED Display with 144Hz Refresh Rate support, 3000 nits peak brightness and a 1.5K resolution. There is a hole-punch cutout at the top centre for the front camera. The device also has an HDR10+ certification and 2160Hz PWM Dimming.

The OnePlus 13R sports a 6.78-inch LTPO 4.1 AMOLED Display with a 1.5K Resolution (2780 x 1264 pixels), 1Hz – 120Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3, 2160Hz PWM Dimming, and 94.2% screen-to-body ratio. The panel is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

While both of them have equal display resolution, the 13R sports a brighter panel but the iQOO 12 has a higher refresh rate. We’d give them both a tie in this round as both of them have an advantage over each other and it would be up to the buyer to choose their preference of display.

They have the same chipset, RAM, and storage. However, software is where the OnePlus 13R takes the lead, with a much more polished experience and more number of updates. Also, because the OnePlus 13R has launched this year, it comes with pre-loaded with Android 15 and will receive updates till Android 19. The iQOO 12 on the other hand, will get updates only till Android 17.

Additionally, the OnePlus 13R has a triple camera setup at the rear including a 50MP f/1.8 Sony LYT700 primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide sensor, and a 50MP f/2.0 Samsung JN5 telephoto camera. On the front, there is a 16MP f/2.4 sensor for selfies and video calls.

The iQOO 12 5G gets a 50MP f/1.68 OIS-assisted main camera, an 50MP f/2.0 ultra-wide camera and a 64MP f/2.57 periscope telephoto camera sensor with 100x digital zoom. It further gets a 16MP front camera.

We can’t comment on which one has a better camera setup as we haven’t tested the OnePlus 13R yet. What we can tell you is that the iQOO 12 doesn’t disappoint in terms of optics. It performed well over our expectations when we reviewed the device and is one of the best camera setups iQOO has ever employed in its devices.

The OnePlus 13R is backed by a 6000mAh battery that supports 80W SuperVOOC wired charging. The iQOO 12 on the other hand packs a 5000mAh battery and supports 120W Fast charging out of the box. The 13R is backed by a larger battery allowing it to run for longer. While it would charge slightly slower compared to iQOO 12, we feel most users would prefer a longer backup time over faster charging.

Overall, we feel the iQOO 12 is a great device and is apt for gamers who want a smooth experience with the 144Hz display. It’s also decent for those who do occasional photography. However, it doesn’t really stand out in front of the OnePlus 13R in terms of software and battery. If you are looking for a better overall experience, the OnePlus 13R should still be your pick over the iQOO 12 5G.

Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G has been launched in India and at its price point, the device is competing with the OnePlus 13R 5G, the latest premium mid-ranger from Oppo’s sister brand. Here’s a quick specifications comparison between the devices to help you decide which one of them you should purchase.

Display

The Reno 13 Pro 5G gets a 6.83-inch AMOLED quad curved-edge screen with an FHD+ Resolution of 2800 x 1272 pixels, 1600 nits peak brightness, HDR10+ support, 450 ppi, 240Hz touch sampling rate, 3840Hz PWM dimming, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The OnePlus 13R sports a 6.78-inch LTPO 4.1 AMOLED Display with a 1.5K Resolution (2780 x 1264 pixels), 1Hz – 120Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3, 2160Hz PWM Dimming, and 94.2% screen-to-body ratio. The panel is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

The OnePlus 13R has a better panel due to multiple reasons, one of which is that it is an LTPO panel that helps save battery by automatically adjusting the Refresh Rate based on the content being displayed. The second reason is that it is brighter as well which will result in better outdoor readability.

Performance and Software

The Reno 13 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset coupled with 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC powers the OnePlus 13R with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

Not only does OnePlus offer more RAM than Oppo, but it also has faster UFS 4.0 storage as well. Furthermore, even the chipset in use in OnePlus 13R is far better than Reno’s. While Reno’s MediaTek chipset is decent for moderate use, the 13R is definitely more powerful and can better handle demanding tasks like gaming.

Software wise, the experience would be quite similar except in one area, and that’s the software update policy. OnePlus will provide 4 years of OS updates to the 13R 5G which is one extra update over Oppo’s 3-year Android OS update policy for Reno 13 Pro. In this department also, the OnePlus 13R secures the win.

Battery & Cameras

The Oppo Reno device has a triple camera system on the back and gets an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel f/1.8 main camera, an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide angle camera, and a 50MP f/2.8 telephoto sensor with OIS. It gets a 50-megapixel f/2.0 front-facing camera with auto-focus and EIS.

The OnePlus 13R also has a triple camera setup at the rear including a 50MP f/1.8 Sony LYT700 primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide sensor, and a 50MP f/2.0 Samsung JN5 telephoto camera. On the front, there is a 16MP f/2.4 sensor for selfies and video calls.

While the rear camera sensor type remains identical on both devices, the front camera looks better on the Reno 13 Pro in terms of on-paper specs. We won’t give one device a win over the other in this area as we haven’t got to test them side by side in real world scenarios. But so far, the OnePlus 13R seems to be giving a tough fight to the Reno 13 Pro 5G.

Even in the battery department, the OnePlus 13R wins it with a bigger 6000mAh cell compared to Oppo’s 5800mAh cell. Both of them support 80W fast wired charging.

Additional Information to consider

There are some other aspects one should consider before deciding the device to purchase out of these two. The Oppo Reno 13 Pro has a better set of IP Ratings compared to 13R’s IP65 rating.

However, OnePlus offers a couple of additional after-sales services that provide peace of mind to the consumer, including lifetime warranty of display in case the green line hardware issue affects your device at some point, and a 180-day phone replacement program where the company will replace your 13R with a new unit in case of any defects within a period of 3 months. However, the latter is available for free only if you purchase a OnePlus 13R before February 13, post which the service can be bought separately as an add-on protection plan for Rs 2,299.

Conclusion

The OnePlus 13R costs Rs 42,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model and Rs 49,999 for the 16GB + 512GB model. The Oppo Reno 13 Pro starts at Rs 49,999 for the 12GB + 256GB trim and Rs 54,999 for the 12GB + 512GB model. Clearly, the OnePlus 13R is the device to pick against the Reno 13 Pro in this comparison. It has multiple advantages over Oppo’s device and offers better value for your money.

The device runs on Hyper OS based on Android 14 and will get 3 years of OS updates with 4 years of security patches. There’s an in-display optical fingerprint sensor for security and the handset is IP68 rated as well.

Competing with the Vivo Y300 at the same price point, the Poco X7 5G sports a better Chipset under the hood as well as a sharper display. The display is also brighter than that of Y300’s and has support for Dolby Vision, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, all of which the Y300 lacks.

The camera setup remains similar on the two in terms of sensor type, with the X7 5G offering an additional macro sensor if that’s any worth to you. As for battery, the X7 5G sports a bigger cell than Vivo Y300’s 5000mAh battery but the Y300 has faster 80W wired charging. The X7 5G is also IP68 rated that is better than Vivo’s IP64 rating. Further, Poco X7 5G also has NFC support which Vivo Y300 doesn’t have. Vivo doesn’t specify the amount of updates the device will receive but Poco promises OS updates for three years, which is another advantage.

Poco X7 Pro 5G: Specifications

The Poco X7 Pro 5G sports a 6.67-inch (2712 x 1220 pixels) 1.5K 12-bit OLED 20:9 display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 480Hz touch sampling rate, up to 3200 nits peak brightness, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, 1920Hz PWM Dimming, DC Dimming, and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection

The device packs the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra SoC and runs on Android 15-based HyperOS 2.0 and will receive 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches.

Competing with its sub-brand’s Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G, the Poco X7 Pro 5G packs a lot of power under the hood due to the better chipset. It costs about Rs 4,000 less than Redmi’s handset and offers more storage. Both of them have highly similar displays but Poco X7 Pro’s display is slightly brighter, which essentially won’t be noticeable in real world. Redmi’s display is slightly more durable with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

Poco’s handset not only has a better chipset, but also faster storage and RAM. Poco’s device also packs a larger battery than Redmi’s 6200mAh cell. Both of them have identical charging speeds. Redmi’s device shines in the camera segment with better Sensors and an additional telephoto sensor that’s not available in Poco X7 Pro.

To conclude, if you prioritise cameras and don’t care much about the performance, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is a better pick but if you want a smoother performance, are on a strict budget, and want to do gaming on your device while camera takes a back seat, then Poco X7 Pro 5G is a much better pick at a slightly cheaper price tag as it offers essentially the same value as the Note 14 Pro+ 5G except for the cameras.
