OnePlus has already rolled out the OnePlus 13 in its home country. The Chinese smartphone maker is expected to bring its latest flagship smartphone to India by January 2025. The OnePlus 13 comes packed with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is a huge upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which powers the OnePlus 12. Speaking of which, the OnePlus 12 is currently available on Flipkart at a really good discount. During the festive sales, while other flagship smartphones were getting effectively cheap, the OnePlus 12 didn’t see any major discount. However, currently, interested buyers can claim a discount of more than Rs 11,000. How? Let me tell you.
For those who are unaware, the OnePlus 12 was launched in India in January at a starting price of Rs 64,999. The same variant in Glacial White colour is now available on Flipkart for Rs 57,367, which means a straight Rs 7,632 instant discount. Apart from that, if you have an HDFC card, you can get an additional Rs 3,500 off.
By claiming both these discounts, you can get the OnePlus 12 at a discounted price of only Rs 53,867. Now, should you buy it or wait for the OnePlus 12? I’ll answer this also.
First thing, the OnePlus 12 under Rs 55,000 is a great deal. The smartphone comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a bright and stunning LTPO AMOLED display, great cameras with up to 3x optical zoom, and a massive 5400mAh battery.
Now, the OnePlus 13 will surely pack some upgrades over the OnePlus 12 but it will still take a lot of time to come to India. Along with that, OnePlus has also increased the prices of the OnePlus 13 in China, so it will most likely launch in India for around Rs 70,000. Do the maths and you will have to put around Rs 17,000 if we compare it with Flipkart’s pricing of the OnePlus 12.
Cut short, I think if you have been eyeing the OnePlus 12, get it because no one can offer you all these specifications at this price currently.
