The 256GB variant of the OnePlus 12R was initially advertised as having UFS 4.0 storage, which is faster and more power-efficient than UFS 3.1.

The company has not announced any compensation for those who bought the phone thinking it had UFS 4.0 storage.

UFS 4.0 storage should offer slightly better performance compared to UFS 3.1 storage, especially when it comes to tasks like random read speed, write speed, and app opening.
