| phone | starting price | AnTuTu Score | geekbench single-core | geekbench multi-core |
| Xiaomi 14 Civi | Rs 40,999 | 14,43,011 | 1,913 | 5,087 |
| realme gt6 | Rs 40,839 | 15,01,830 | 1,826 | 4,544 |

The OnePlus 12R has higher benchmark scores compared to its competitors at launch, and with the discounts on offer, the deal gets even better. At a discounted price, it competes with premium mid-rangers like Vivo V40, Vivo T3 Ultra and Realme 13 Pro+. While the 12R certainly offers the benefits of sub-flagship specifications at a premium mid-range price, keep in mind that the phone is a generation older. It also lacks the AI features that most current generation phones now come with. Combine this with the fact that the phone will only get three software upgrades and you have something to think about. If longevity is not a concern of yours, you can definitely go for this deal; Otherwise consider spending some extra money and considering the OnePlus 13R when it arrives.
