After launching exclusively in China earlier this month, the
OnePlus 12
is finally going to make its global debut on January 23. The event will also feature the launch of the
OnePlus 12R
.
OnePlus is going to hold its launch event in India, which will start at 7:30 PM IST. The event is expected to have physical attendance in addition to being live-streamed on YouTube.
