OnePlus has reduced the price of the OnePlus 12 in India, offering a more affordable option just before the official launch of the OnePlus 13 series on January 7th.

Should You Buy the OnePlus 12 or Wait for the OnePlus 13?

The OnePlus 12 remains a powerful flagship with high-end specifications, making it a competitive option even today. However, with the OnePlus 13 launching soon, potential buyers face the decision of whether to purchase the discounted OnePlus 12 or hold out for the latest model.

The OnePlus 13 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a larger 6.82-inch 2K BOE AMOLED display, a bigger 6000mAh battery with 100W fast charging, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera for enhanced zoom capabilities. It will also come with an improved IP68+IP69 rating for better water and dust resistance, an ultra-sonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, and other updates. However, it is expected to come with a higher launch price, possibly close to Rs. 67,000 for the base model.

If your budget allows, waiting for the OnePlus 13 may be a better choice for those seeking the latest technology. However, if you are looking for a flagship phone at a reduced price, the OnePlus 12 remains a strong contender, especially with its current discount.
