OnePlus has spoken up about the confusion around the OnePlus 12R‘s storage. They made it clear: the phone uses UFS 3.1, not UFS 4.0, as mistakenly mentioned on their site. In a forum, Kinder Liu, OnePlus President and COO said:

Due to an error, we stated that the storage enhanced by Trinity Engine would be UFS 4.0 in some variants. I can now confirm that the storage in all variants of the OnePlus 12R is still enhanced by Trinity Engine but is actually UFS 3.1.

What Does This Mean?

The UFS 4.0 storage is the newer one and is usually found in high-end flagship smartphones. Although UFS 3.1 is a bit slower than UFS 4.0, numerous flagship phones utilise this tech, including last year’s OnePlus 11R.

Interestingly, despite featuring UFS 3.1 storage, the OnePlus 12R scored significantly higher than its predecessor in the AnTuTu benchmark during our test, securing 74,635, almost 10,000 above the OnePlus 11R.
