After several weeks of teasers, OnePlus has finally unveiled its 10th anniversary flagship smartphone today. The phone, dubbed the OnePlus 12, will make its global market debut in China, just like its predecessors, the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 10 Pro.
The brand’s latest product is arguably the best smartphone in the phablet format to date. It has all the high-end features you would expect from a premium phone.
The device tries to correct the mistakes that the brand made in its previous phones. For example, OnePlus 12 brings back wireless charging and a faster USB port. It also comes with an updated camera system.
Let’s take a closer look at what this phone has to offer, as well as its price and availability.
Specifications of the OnePlus 12
OnePlus 12 has kept the design language of OnePlus 11. However, there are some minor differences here and there. In a nutshell, it has a glass sandwich design with a metal frame in the middle and is IP65 splash-proof.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. It has a 9140 mm² VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system that can cover 38,547 mm².
The Oneplus 12 is built around a 6.82-inch curved OLED display provided by BOE. This center punch panel has a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels (QHD+), 510 PPI, and a refresh rate of 1-120 Hz (LTPO). The 10-bit screen supports a local peak brightness level of up to 4500 nits and 2160 Hz PWM dimming.
In addition, the smartphone has the same camera as the OnePlus Open (aka Oppo Find N3). It comes with a 50MP Sony LYT-808 primary sensor with OIS, a 64MP OmniVision OV64B sensor with 3x periscope zoom with OIS, and a 48MP Sony IMX581 ultra-wide-angle module with autofocus. The front-facing camera is a 32-megapixel camera, and all of these cameras offer Hasselblad-inspired image processing.
The phone is equipped with all the necessary connectivity features such as dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, GNSS, NFC, and USB 3.2 Gen1. It also has a notification slider, IR blaster, vibration motor with linear X-axis vibration, and dual stereo speakers.
In terms of software, the device comes with ColorOS 14 based on Android 14. Finally, it gets its power from a 5400 mAh battery and supports 100W wired charging as well as 50W wireless charging (along with 10W reverse wireless charging).
