OnePlus 12 Coming with Improved Cameras

The anticipated release of the OnePlus 12 is slated for the end of this year, and although it may seem premature, rumors and speculations from leaksters in China have already begun circulating. The latest information suggests that the upcoming flagship will be equipped with a third-generation Snapdragon 8 chipset and will feature a camera setup comprising a 50 MP + 50 MP + 64 MP combination.

According to the leakster, the primary camera will likely utilize an IMX9 series sensor, potentially Sony’s IMX989, which is a 1-inch type sensor. The ultra-wide-angle camera is also expected to be 50 MP, while the 32 MP IMX709 telephoto lens might be replaced by a 64 MP OV64B lens developed by OmniVision.

In terms of battery capacity, it is speculated that the OnePlus 12 could exceed 5,000 mAh. However, we believe the capacity will likely remain the same, especially considering reports of the device being equipped with 150W fast charging.

While this wouldn’t be the first OnePlus phone to support such fast charging speeds, it could mark the first time it’s featured in a true flagship device. Additionally, there is uncertainty surrounding whether North American fans of the brand will experience the same high charging speeds, as both the OnePlus 10 Pro and OnePlus 11 saw downgrades in this regard.

Regarding the possibility of downgrades in the OnePlus 12, it is still too early to say, as the official unveiling is several months away. At this point, any assumptions regarding potential features and specifications can be considered wishful thinking.

OnePlus 12 Specs Reveal

The OnePlus 11, which currently serves as the flagship device for the Chinese company, was released in January. However, work is already underway on its successor, unsurprisingly named the OnePlus 12. According to a recent leak from a typically reliable source, the OnePlus 12 is expected to launch in China in December. It’s worth noting that the global release may occur a few weeks or even months after the Chinese launch.

At present, the phone exists in the form of an engineering sample. This early version showcases the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset as its powerhouse, a 6.7-inch QHD OLED touchscreen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 5,000 mAh battery that supports rapid 100W wired charging.

The OnePlus 12 will feature three rear cameras: a 50 MP primary lens, a 50 MP ultrawide lens, and a 64 MP periscope zoom lens. The inclusion of a periscope zoom camera would be a first in the OnePlus lineup, although it is not unprecedented for the parent company, Oppo.

Initial observations suggest that there aren’t many notable hardware upgrades at first glance, as the screen size, resolution, and refresh rate appear to remain unchanged from its predecessor. The use of the next-generation chipset is expected, following the company’s usual trend.

It’s important to keep in mind that we are still in the early stages of the phone’s development cycle, as it is seven months away from its actual launch. Therefore, there may be changes and improvements along the way. Rest assured, we will provide further details as they become available.
