OnePlus launched the OnePlus 11 earlier this year for the global markets, including India and it seems like the brand has already finalised what it will be bringing with its upcoming OnePlus 12, according to leaks. Here’s everything we know so far about the OnePlus 12, including the rumoured design, specs, and launch timeline.
Update 21/11/2023: A new post from tipster Max Jambor says that OnePlus 12 series global launch will take place in January 2024. India launch should also take place at the same time.
Update 20/11/2023: OnePlus’ latest announcement confirms that the OnePlus 12 will launch in China on the 4th of December, when OnePlus will also celebrate it’s 10th anniversary.
Update 25/10/2023: OnePlus has announced that in partnership with BOE, it has developed a panel dubbed X1 Oriental Screen. OnePlus 12 will equip this panel and will feature a 1,440 x 3,168px resolution paired with up to 2,600 nits peak brightness. It will come alongside Oppo’s self-developed dedicated P1 display chip. The new panel has received A+ certification from DisplayMate for exceptional brightness and colour accuracy.
The panel comes with sunlight highlighting algorithms and single-pixel calibrating technology, which ensures that each sub-pixel is calibrated independently for more accurate colours and less grain. The panel is touted to consume 13% less power than previous generation panel and is tested to last twice as long as competing OLED displays. The panels also feature class-leading high-frequency PWM dimming and blue light filtering.
OnePlus 12 : Rumoured Design
The design for the OnePlus 12 was leaked a while back by known tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka OnLeaks). The overall design of the OnePlus 12 remains similar to its predecessor, with the camera array positioned in the same place as before. However, the inside of the array has changed, with it now including a 64MP Omnivision OV64B periscope lens.
Further, the LED flash has now gone up to the top left of the camera island instead of being alongside the cameras which we generally see. The Alert slider, power button and the volume rocker retain their positions from OnePlus 11. Additionally, on the front, the placement of the selfie camera has been shifted from the top left corner to the center and the bezels seem thinner. Lastly for design, the device seems to have a bit more curved corners than OnePlus 10 Pro or OnePlus 11.
