Oppo K12

The Oppo K12 5G phone has just launched, boasting impressive features such as a fast refresh rate OLED display, super fall resistance structural design, and mid-segment power-efficient processor. The device also comes with a huge battery, fast charging capabilities, and a sleek design. With a focus on durability and performance, the Oppo K12 seems to be an exciting addition to the market. In this review, we'll take a closer look at its features, camera, and overall user experience.

OnePlus 13R

The OnePlus 13R is a trimmed-back version of its flagship sibling, sacrificing some premium features for a more affordable price point. While it retains the same performance punch, with snappy gaming capabilities and impressive battery life, some compromises have been made. The camera tech, although capable, falls short of the 13's more advanced setup, particularly in high-contrast scenarios. Design-wise, it feels less luxurious and comfortable, but a reworked alert slider is a welcome addition. Overall, the 13R offers a fair compromise for those on a tighter budget, but doesn't quite match its pricier counterpart.
