After launching its first foldable a few weeks ago, OnePlus is back with another high-end smartphone. This time, it’s the successor to their flagship line: meet the OnePlus 12.
The OnePlus 12 looks a lot like its predecessor, the OnePlus 11. The screen on the front has the same size and curves on the side, while the camera island on the back is almost identical this time, the Hasselblad was shortened to a logo, the LED flash is on the outer bezel, and the Emerald Green color gets a marble-like accent.
For the main shooter, we now have a 50-megapixel Lytia 808 dual-layer sensor from Sony — the same one found on the OnePlus Open.
A sharp 48-megapixel ultra-wide joins it with a 14mm equivalent and an IMX581 sensor. Finally, we have a periscope-style 64-megapixel telephoto lens that can do 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless magnification thanks to the high-pixel sensor.
The OnePlus 12 brings back the wireless charging to the series, and this one has a whopping 50W capacity with 10W reverse wireless charging for accessories and other devices. The 100W wired fast charging was untouched, while the battery is now at 5,400mAh — the biggest in the whole series.
This one also has a better IP65 rating (from IP64) for being dust and water-resistant. Of course, it will run on the latest Android 14-based OxygenOS 14 for the international market and ColorOS 14 for China.
The rest of the specs are expected upgrades. There’s the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
There’s the 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display created by BOE with a 3168 x 1440 pixel resolution, 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness with HDR enabled. 2160Hz PWM dimming is also included.
The OnePlus 12 will be available in China starting December 11 and will be introduced to the global market in January next year. It has a price of CNY4,299 (~Php33,600) for the 12GB/256GB, CNY4,799 (~Php37,500) for the 16GB/512GB, CNY5,299 (~Php41,400) for the 16GB/1TB, and CNY5,799 (~Php45,100) for the 24GB/1TB.
