Although traditionally September and October are the busiest months in terms of launches and presentations, December is an interesting month because phones coming to China in the short term and to the Western market in the coming months are usually introduced. This situation OnePlus 12, which has been newly introduced and will be one of the first premium models of 2024.

The Chinese company did not keep anything secret, and within a design we are familiar with from OnePlus 11, we have a mobile phone that improves in all areas, especially raw power, and an extremely ambitious triple camera system. Next, Let’s come to all the details and features of OnePlus 12..

Commitment to balance the premium range

The first thing to say is that it borrows a lot from the previous generation in terms of design. The OnePlus 11 was a handset that we liked for its in-hand feel, and it seems like the company didn’t want to change too much in that regard.

We have a camera module that appears to be coming directly from one of the sides. the characteristic Alert Slider appears once again and just looking at the back we already say that it is a mobile phone similar to the previous one.

Similar design to the previous generation also features a screen with a slight curve on the sides, but in the rest of the specifications everything has changed. We are in front of the panel 6.82-inch BOE OLED with 2K resolution and 120 Hz LTPO 3.0 refresh rate.

It also has support for ProXDR and Dolby Vision images It is a system that we can use without any problems even if it is slightly wet.. This is interesting because even if a mobile phone has water protection, there are times when the touch sensor goes a little crazy in the rain.

PWM is 2,160 Hz, it has its own chip to control color (OPPO P1) and the most interesting thing is brightness. Chinese companies are counting on a spectacular level of brightness in the second half of the year, and OnePlus does not want to fall short in this regard. We have 1,600 nits of HBM brightness with a peak of 4,500 nits.

Let’s get in there, because we have all the raw power. OnePlus 12 has Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as the SoC. This is Qualcomm’s latest processor, and it’s ready to battle MediaTek’s Dimnensity 9300 for raw power in 2024. The battery is 5,400mAh with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. and we will have up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The OnePlus 11 handled high temperatures very well, and OnePlus will once again integrate a massive cooler into this generation: a 9,140 square millimeter hood chamber. The system will be OxygenOS 14 on top of Android 14 in the West, but it will arrive in China with OPPO’s ColorOS 14, a system we’ve already been able to test.

And moving on to the cameras, we have a similar configuration to the one we already liked in the company’s foldable OnePlus Open. The main sensor is 50 megapixel Sony LYT-808. It is a different technology from IMX as it is a stacked sensor that offers certain improvements in departments such as focusing and light processing.

It is a 1/1.43 inch sensor and its lenses have optical stabilization. It is accompanied by a 48-megapixel wide-angle Sony IMX581 and 64 megapixel periscopic telephoto Half-inch in size, with f/2.6 aperture and 70-millimeter equivalent zoom, 3x. With 64 megapixels, OnePlus showed 6x digital samples with “optical quality” that should be verified in our tests.
