Size and screen

Photos and videos
OnePlus 12: telephoto lens with optical zoom
The OnePlus 12 has a telephoto lens, in addition to a standard and a wide-angle lens. With the telephoto lens, you can zoom in 3 times without losing sharpness in your photos. Thanks to this, you can take a sharp photo of a bird you see in a tree from a distance. You can use the other camera lenses to take sharper photos and videos than with the cameras of the OnePlus 12R. This is mostly because of the larger image sensor, which allows you to take sharp photos in low light too.
OnePlus 12R: no telephoto lens
The OnePlus 12R doesn't have a telephoto lens, but a macro lens. This means you can't zoom in with this device without losing quality. But, you can use the macro lens to capture small objects from up close. For example, you can photograph an insect you see on a flower. The OnePlus 12R has a smaller image sensor and the photos aren't as sharp in low-light situations as with the OnePlus 12. The 4K quality videos of the 12R are also less sharp than the 8K videos of the OnePlus 12.
