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.
