How is OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact different from standard OnePlus 12R?

The specifications of both of these smartphones are the same. What sets this one apart is the fact that it comes in a unique Electro Violet colour combo. The rear panel of the OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact also features a violet colour and Keqing, a character in the game, inspires the design. It has an AG matte glass back panel. You can even spot silvery white feather motifs on the panel, an Electro Element, and the lightning stiletto design which is Keqing’s signature. And at the bottom, you can see the word “KEQING” written and on the top edge too, a text has been carved which would reflect light and project the engraving.

Now this was all about the body, but the UI also comes with some customisations, all inspired by the videogame. You will find elements of Teyvat, which is the fantasy map from the video game. You can customise the app icons, there’s a different charging animation, a really cool-looking always-on display, and much more. And obviously, this smartphone is optimised for gaming.

Now one more thing that makes both smartphones different, and I think it affects your choice the most. I am talking about the prices of the OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact edition and the OnePlus 12R. The former with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage is available in India at a price of ₹49,999. Whereas, the same variant of standard OnePlus 12R is available at a price of ₹45,999.
