The highly anticipated global debut of the OnePlus 12 is just around the corner, scheduled for January 23. While the device has already been launched in China, there has been much speculation about its pricing in markets outside of China. However, a recent premature Amazon listing may have shed some light on the pricing details for the OnePlus 12 in India.

According to the leaked screenshot from the Amazon listing, the OnePlus 12 is priced at INR 69,999 in India. This particular variant features 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s important to note that premature listings can sometimes be speculative in terms of pricing, so the accuracy of this information is still uncertain.
Comparing the listed price of the OnePlus 12 to the launch prices of its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, in India gives us some perspective. The OnePlus 11 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage was priced at INR 56,999, while the 16GB/256GB variant was priced at INR 61,999. The jump to INR 69,999 for the OnePlus 12 appears to be substantial. However, it’s worth considering that premature listings can often be speculative about pricing details.
When it comes to pricing in different markets, companies typically don’t directly convert prices from one currency to another. So, while INR 69,999 may roughly equal $844 or €771 based on current exchange rates, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the expected prices in the US and EU would be $850 and €799, respectively. Companies often adjust prices for different markets, and the numbers in the EU are typically higher.
For example, the OnePlus 11’s 12GB/256GB variant was priced at $799 in the US and €919 in the EU. This shows that expecting a direct translation of prices may not accurately reflect the regional pricing strategy of the company. OnePlus takes into account various factors such as local market conditions, competition, and currency fluctuations when determining prices for different regions.
Therefore, while the leaked pricing information for the OnePlus 12 in India may give us a glimpse into what to expect, it’s important to approach it with caution. The final pricing details for markets outside of China will be officially announced during the global debut on January 23. Until then, we can only speculate and wait for OnePlus to reveal the official prices for the OnePlus 12 in different regions.
As OnePlus enthusiasts eagerly await the global launch of the OnePlus 12, the pricing details remain a topic of great interest. While the leaked information provides some insight, it’s essential to remember that premature listings can sometimes be speculative. Ultimately, we’ll have to wait for the official announcement to get the accurate pricing details for the OnePlus 12 in markets outside of China.
