launched about a month ago, and we already have a special Genshin Impact Edition for the phone — continuing what seems to be a tradition of partnership between OnePlus and game developer HoYoverse.Purple cable with angled jack and small light on topEven the SIM ejector tool is themed after Kequing's stiletto. As far as the phone itself goes, the design hasn't changed much at all.
The software, of course, has a Kequing theme all over, including some Kequing ringtones and alerts, which can be heard in the video above. Otherwise, the hardware inside and the software that runs it is mostly the same. OnePlus did say that there are minor tweaks to ensure that Genshin itself runs smoothly and is prioritized over any other app in the background. The cable design itself ensures that you will be able to game all day, all night, with an angled jack, which still lets you grip the phone while charging:
The OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact edition is not terribly overpriced, we don't think. It's currently up for pre-order with an MSRP of $649, which is $150 more than a regular OnePlus 12R — fair uptick in price if you are a fan and value the collectibles and exclusive color and theme. Also, the"Trade in ANY phone in ANY condition" promo is valid here, so you can easily shave $100 off that price, if you have a beat up handset to give up.
