Memory–UK OnePlus 12R: 16 GB RAM / 256 GB storage. China OnePlus Ace 3: 12/256 GB, 16/512 GB and 16 GB/1 TB; the three added memory combinations are Chinese configurations, not UK 12R options.
Storage typeUFS 3.1 storage; 8/16 GB LPDDR5X RAM. The current specification calls Solar Red's 18 GB RAM LPDDR5, while its launch page calls it LPDDR5X; this maker discrepancy is unresolved. Android Central identifies the original 8/128 GB and 16/256 GB pairings; Gadgets 360's introductory 8/256 GB pairing conflicts with that report. China Ace 2 exact maker combinations: 12/256,16/256,16/512, all LPDDR5X/UFS3.1; these additional combinations are China offerings.LPDDR5X RAM; UFS 3.1 storage. Current UK specifications supersede the original launch release's erroneous UFS 4.0 claim; OnePlus's correction is recorded by TechRadar. China Ace 3: LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage; this regional hardware difference does not change the UK 12R specification.
