Developer HoYoverse and OnePlus announced an upcoming smartphone dedicated to the super-popular free-to-play game Genshin Impact.
The OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition was revealed during the Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona, and it's a custom model featuring one of the most beloved characters of the game, Keqing.
Pre-orders are already available for North America, Europe, and India and the price is $649.99, €749, or ₹49999 depending on where you live.
The smartphone runs a heavily customized OxygenOS 14 with features that reflect the world and iconography of the game. It also packs plenty of technology to make the gaming experience better.
OnePlus' brand-new Trinity Engine and the HyperRendering technology deliver true-to-life HDR graphics to present a beautiful, detail-rich fantasy world. The HyperBoost technology and customized tuning in the Trinity Engine significantly reduce loading time, while a 360-degree high-performance gaming antenna is set to ensure online connectivity. OnePlus Lab tests have shown that the phone can keep Genshin Impact running in the background along with up to 5 apps for 72 hours — meaning you can take a break whenever you need to.
The box itself includes plenty of collectibles for Keqing fans, including badges, posters, a Lightning Stiletto-shaped SIM tray ejector, a charging adapter with Electro Element and Lightning Stiletto logos, a USB Type-C charging cable with a violet LED light and a convenient 90° design.
Below you can check it all out in a dedicated trailer.
