The best cheap 5G phones in 2024: Expert tested and reviewed

The OnePlus 12R features a dual SIM card slot, which allows you to use two separate contact numbers for the same device. This makes it an excellent option for international travelers as well as professionals who don’t want to carry both a work and personal smartphone. The 23-hour battery life also means you’ll be able to talk, stream, and web browse all day before you need to think about plugging in; but you’ll want to keep an actual cable handy, as the 12R doesn’t support wireless charging.

Along with dual SIM support, you’ll also get a great camera system with the 50MP Sony IMX890 main rear lens, 8MP ultra-wide for landscapes and group photos, 2MP macro lens for close-up photography, and 13MP front camera for selfies and video calls. For storage, you can choose either a 128GB or 256GB internal capacity; and if you need more, you may want to invest in a cloud storage service like Google Drive since the 12R doesn’t support microSD cards for expandable memory.  

ZDNET’s Matthew Miller was able to go hands-on with the OnePlus 12R, and praised the phone for its build quality and fast charging, but was disappointed in the lack of wireless charging support. Verified reviews from both Amazon and Best Buy love the dual SIM card support for international travel, as well as the flagship phone quality at an affordable price.
