Earlier, OnePlus said that its flagship killer phone, the OnePlus 12R 256GB variant, has UFS 4.0, but in reality it was UFS 3.1. Now, OnePlus admits the error and confirms that both the 128GB and 256GB variants use UFS 3.1.
OnePlus has officially confirmed that its flagship killer smartphone, the OnePlus 12R with a 256GB variant, actually packs UFS 3.1 and not UFS 4.0. It all started when some of the reviewers found out that the read and write speeds of smartphones were similar to UFS 3.1 rather than UFS 4.0.

OnePlus COO, Kinder Liu, said that “we stated that the storage enhanced by Trinity Engine would be UFS 4.0 in some variants. I can now confirm that the storage in all variants of the OnePlus 12R is still enhanced by Trinity Engine but is actually UFS 3.1.” Though OnePlus has not announced any compensation for buyers who bought the product,.
It all began when users started comparing the read and write speeds of the OnePlus 12 and 12R (128 GB). Despite having the same storage type as the OnePlus 12, the speeds are slower.

What to do now, and does it make a difference?
Well, you can’t do anything as of now because the company is not providing any compensation, and yes, it makes a difference. As you see, the higher the storage speed, the better the performance. The UFS version says a lot about its random read speed and write speed, whether you are playing games or opening or closing an app. UFS 4.0 has significantly higher speed than UFS 3.1, so overall performance is better. You might not have noticed that Apple does not use UFS storage; instead, they use NVMe-type storage, which is costly but faster than UFS and has more advantages.
But that does not mean UFS 4.0 lags behind; in reality, UFS 4.0 has better read/write speed than NVMe in real-time tests, but NVMe on the PC is on a whole different level.
Speed of NVMe:
The fastest NVMe speed is 3500 MB/s. i.e., read speed and write speed are about 1000 MB/s.
Speed of UFS 4.0:
UFS 4.0 speed goes up to 4200 MB/s, and write speed is about 2800 MB/s.
Speed of UFS 3.1:
UFS 3.1 offers read speeds up to 2100 MB/s and write speeds up to 1800 MB/s.
Conclusion:
if you want to buy OnePlus 12R you can go for it normal user won’t find any difference between UFS 3.1 and UFS 4.0. Those who have already bought OnePlus 12R you might not get compensation but the performance of OnePlus 12R is still top notch there wont be delay in opening and closing app or playing games.
