OnePlus and HoYoverse have once again collaborated to launch another Genshin Impact-themed device. This time, they are introducing the OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition at MWC in Barcelona, which was first announced in China a few days ago. The device is now available for pre-order in major markets, including the USA and Canada, starting today.
The OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact features a customized exterior inspired by the game’s character, Keqing. What sets it apart is the purple finish, dubbed Electro Violet, on the back and aluminum frame, along with etched decorative elements across the rear glass panel and top edge. Both the fast-charging power adapter and the USB-C cable, featuring an angled connector and LED indicator, also sport a matching purple paint job.
The customization extends to the retail set and UI as well. Inside the retail box, there’s a Keqing-themed snap-on phone case, a phone stand, a SIM ejector tool, and collectible stickers and pins. OnePlus is also introducing a customized theme with a purple palette, live wallpaper, and lock screen that align with Keqing and Genshin Impact.
Regarding the internal hardware, it remains the same as the standard OnePlus 12R version we recently reviewed, offering a capable gaming smartphone package. This includes Qualcomm’s previous flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC at the core, paired with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The battery capacity remains unchanged at 5,500 mAh, with an 80-watt charging speed for the US model.
At the front, the device still features a 6.78-inch LTPO 4.0 AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1264 x 2780 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits. This panel is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and the overall build is IP64 certified. The imaging department is equipped with a triple camera setup consisting of a 50 MP primary sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide, and a 2 MP macro sensor, while the front boasts a 16 MP selfie snapper.
The device also includes usual gaming enhancements, such as a large dual vapor chamber cooling system for improved heat dissipation compared to its predecessor, and support for Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
