I’ve got the 12. The 12R is the lower cost version but looks decent. The 12 has been great so far!

On my current finances I’m more looking towards the 12R. Bit annoying that the only way to get the higher capacity model is if you get some limited edition version, and that only 128GB is the standard model in the UK.

I found a review at last for the OP12 on Amazon UK. It was from someone coming from an OP8. They said they didn’t like the screen as much as they found the colours messy, also that it was very reflective especially on the rounded corners.

Never owned an 8 (just 9, 10, 12) but there are a lot of color variations you set the display to. Not sure about the 8 but the 12 is better than my wife’s 10 Pro. I left the factory screen protector on my 12. Wonder if that person removed theirs …. I find the 12 to be as reflective as the 15 ProMax.

I’ve still got the screen protector on my 6, though it’s now starting to come up in places around the sides.

Now the OnePlus store and Amazon say the default version of the R is 16/256GB. I know I’m not imagining this because if you look at the GSMArena review it actually says this model isn’t available in Europe.

One other thing about the 12R, is it’s poorly priced in the UK compared to the US. I’ve no idea why but in the US it’s $500, whereas in the UK it’s £649. Especially as the 12 itself has equivalent pricing.

One plus 12 seems really impressive. That bigger battery has made a big difference for battery life. Seems battery life king so far and also seems to last the latest in direct sunlight

Has anyone got experience with this and the S23U? Need a newer phone and can't decide between them both. Where I am a used S23U is about $700, and a used OP12 is $800.

Used both. The SPen and Dex made the choice for me. Have a S24U at the moment.

The 1+12 is a smooth fast device. If you don’t use the SPen or Dex, it is a better choice IMO.

S23U went to my son.
1+12 went to the wife.

From what I've read too the 1+12 seems more responsive. What were the pro's of one device over the other if you don't mind?
