Pros and Cons

Oppo Reno12

Strengths

The design is new and cool, with a triple camera setup made up of a main 50 megapixel Sony IMX 600.
The performance is pretty decent for overall day-to-day use in terms of multitasking graphic intensive gen AI all of that stuff there's no real lag
Gaming performance is good, able to play games like Fortnite extensively without feeling uncomfortable
Battery life is excellent, able to get over a day and a half easily
The 80 W superv charger charges the phone quickly, from zero absolute 0 to 100% in around about 45 minutes
The AI features are impressive, with good overall processing on images even in low light

Weaknesses

The macro camera doesn't take very good photos of macro shots, it feels like a bit of a waste
There is no telephoto or improved ultra-wide camera, which would have been better than the current setup
Video stabilization on the front-facing selfie camera is not great, especially when moving around
The video quality on the rear camera is decent but limited to 4k 30fps and 1080p at 60fps
The ultra-wide mode for video recording has to be set to 1080p at 60fps
The phone can get slightly warm when gaming, which could be a concern

OnePlus 13R

Strengths

The performance is still absolutely banging even for a bit of gaming.
Battery life is still absolutely spoton as well, even if it doesn't have wireless charging support.
Less bulkiness from the alert slider is a plus.
It's a fair compromise for those who can't stretch to the 13
The design doesn't feel quite as premium or as comfortable either but that's forgivable given the price point.
Overall, it still offers great value for money, especially considering its lower price tag compared to the 13
It's a solid choice for those who want a capable phone without breaking the bank
The camera, while not as good as the 13, is still decent and can produce some great shots in good lighting conditions

Weaknesses

Doesn't have the Snapdragon 88 processor that its sibling has
Camera tech is less capable compared to the OnePlus 13, especially in high-contrast scenarios and macro shots
Lacks wireless charging support, which might be a deal-breaker for some
Design feels less premium and comfortable compared to the 13
Lower quality selfie camera with no Dolby Vision support
Macro mode is missing, which is a feature on the OnePlus 13
Action mode isn't as good as the one on the OnePlus 13
Colors can sometimes appear unsaturated and detail lost in high-contrast scenarios

Oppo Reno12

The Oppo Reno12 5G is a mid-range smartphone that stands out from the crowd with its sleek design and impressive features. Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, this device delivers smooth performance, making it perfect for multitasking and gaming. With a 50MP primary camera, ultra-wide lens, and macro camera, photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Reno12's capabilities. Additionally, the phone's 5,000mAh battery ensures all-day power, while Oppo's 80W Super VOOC charger quickly juices up the device.

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.
