OnePlus 12R comes with UFS 3.1 storage type – Officially confirmed by OnePlus
Recently, Kinder Leu, President and COO of OnePlus, posted a thread in the OnePlus Community where he mentioned that they had made a mistake in their communications for the OnePlus 12R. Previously on the OnePlus official site, it was UFS 4.0 for the 16GB RAM and 256 GB ROM Variant.
It is confirmed that the storage type is UFS 3.1 for both 8GB RAM+128GB ROM and 12GB RAM and 256 GB ROM. This is a sad thing for those users who have purchased 16GB RAM and 256GB ROM variants just because of the UFS 4.0 storage type. You can also clearly show the before and after screenshots that are listed below:
We have also posted a thread on X regarding the same issue along with the videos which you can also check out:
Here is the official statement by OnePlus President and COO:
Hello friends,
I’m excited that so many of you are now starting to receive your OnePlus 12 Series devices and experience for yourself all their amazing new features.
I’m writing today to let you know that we have made a mistake in our communications for OnePlus 12R and to explain what happens next.
During the launch of the OnePlus 12R, we announced Trinity Engine, a new set of software algorithms that help keep your phone’s memory and storage running fast and smooth for years to come. Due to an error, we stated that the storage enhanced by Trinity Engine would be UFS 4.0 in some variants. I can now confirm that the storage in all variants of the OnePlus 12R is still enhanced by Trinity Engine but is actually UFS 3.1.
UFS 3.1 storage is the same fast storage you’ll find in phones like the OnePlus 11 Series, so your phone will still perform really well when reading and writing to memory. The OnePlus 12R also still features all the new Trinity Engine features we announced at launch, like launching apps faster than ever and keeping applications locked open for up to 72 hours, and was fully tested using UFS 3.1 storage. I can also confirm that the OnePlus 12R was fully certified by TUV SUD using UFS 3.1 memory, and, as a result, it is still certified to remain fluent for 48 months. Your OnePlus 12R will stay fast and smooth long into the future.
On behalf of our team, I’d like to apologize to everyone for this error. We remain hugely excited about the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R and hope you’ll love your device as soon as it arrives with you. Of course, I understand that some of you who have purchased or pre-ordered a OnePlus 12R may want to discuss this further with our team, and I’d encourage you to contact our Customer Service team through the usual channels.
We know that UFS 3.1 is not slow. It is the same storage type that we get in the base variant of comes OnePlus 11. For this mistake, OnePlus has to compensate. What do you guys think? Do let us know in the comment box. Also, do tell us whether you like this post or not.
OnePlus has officially announced the launch date for its upcoming smartphone, the OnePlus 13s. The phone will be launched in India on June 5, 2025, at 12 PM.
The OnePlus 13s is a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T, which was recently launched in China. This new device is exciting for OnePlus fans, especially because the company hasn’t released a compact flagship phone in a long time.
The OnePlus 13s is expected to be one of the most affordable smartphones powered by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This makes it a strong option for users looking for performance at a lower price.
Colour Options for India
In China, the OnePlus 13T was launched in Pink and Black. These two colours will also be available in India. In addition, a new Green colour option will be launched in India, which is expected to be exclusive to the country.
I also feel that the green color will be the best buy for everyone. But let’s wait for the actual in-hand feel.
Features of OnePlus 13s
The phone will feature a special 4400mm² Cryo-Velocity Vapor Chamber for cooling. This is an industry-first technology built into the back cover to keep the phone cool during long gaming sessions. It will be 8.15mm thin and weigh just 185 grams.
The Plus Key will debut with this device in India, although details on its function will be shared during the launch.
It includes an advanced antenna system with 11 antennas and comes with the G1 Wi-Fi chipset. The phone will also support 5.5G connectivity, offering faster and more stable network performance.
More information about the price, specifications, and features will be revealed during the official event.
OnePlus 13s Launch Date:
June 5, 2025, at 12 PM (IST)
Stay tuned for updates as OnePlus gets ready to launch what could be one of the most exciting compact flagship phones of the year.
OnePlus has officially announced that it will launch its new tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3, on June 5. This new tablet is expected to be a powerful device, coming with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
The OnePlus Pad 3 is likely to be very similar to the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, which was recently launched in China. That model also shares many features with the Oppo Pad 4 Pro.
The global launch on June 5 will include Europe and North America, as confirmed by OnePlus. The announcement was first shared on the official OnePlus Europe X (Twitter) page, and later confirmed for North America as well.
Last year, OnePlus launched the OnePlus Pad 2 globally. Now, the Pad 3 will be its direct successor, promising better performance and more advanced features.
While we still don’t know all the details about the OnePlus Pad 3, more information is expected to be revealed at the official launch event.
