In a surprising move, OnePlus has officially launched its latest flagship, the OnePlus 12, setting the Android flagship world abuzz with anticipation. Boasting a massive battery, the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and a revamped camera system, the OnePlus 12 is set to challenge even the top-tier iPhones and Galaxy devices.
Global Premiere and Key Features:
The OnePlus 12 was released in China a month ahead of its predecessor, with a global premiere slated for early 2024. This powerhouse of a smartphone introduces a remarkably robust battery, one of the largest in the flagship category, excluding gaming devices. The camera system is equally noteworthy, with OnePlus sharing a glimpse of its capabilities through an array of official samples.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Cutting-Edge Cooling:
At the heart of the OnePlus 12 is Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Setting itself apart, OnePlus combines this high-speed chipset with a sophisticated cooling system featuring a substantial vapor chamber and a dual-cycle heat dissipation structure. The result? A potent chipset that not only performs admirably but also stays cool even during extended heavy-load scenarios. For those who crave more power, there's a 24GB RAM option, thanks to Hynix's recent launch of the 24GB LPDDR5X chip.
Improved Camera System:
OnePlus had teased the camera system, and now the details are out. The OnePlus 12 sports the Sony Lytia LYT-808 image sensor under its main lens – a 50MP sensor using Sony's advanced dual-layer transistor pixel technology. With an f/1.6 aperture, this sensor, coupled with the new Super Light and Shadow Engine, Hasselblad lenses, and some AI magic, promises stunning shots. The telephoto lens, using the OmniVision OV64B 64MP large sole sensor, offers 3x optical zoom and combines with a 2x lossless crop, delivering an impressive 6x optical zoom. The ultrawide lens is a standard Sony IMX581 sensor with an f/2.2 aperture.
Brightest Screen in the Industry?
The OnePlus 12 boasts a collaboratively developed OLED screen, a product of the BOE x OnePlus partnership. While rumors swirl about a 6.82-inch 1-120Hz OLED panel with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, official confirmation is awaited during the global unveiling in early 2024.
Big Battery and Rapid Charging:
With a 5,400mAh battery, the OnePlus 12 stands out with one of the largest cells in its class. Supporting this, there's a 100W wired fast charging capability and a 50W wireless charging option, making it one of the fastest-charging Androids available in the US.
Pricing and Availability:
The global unveiling of the OnePlus 12 is expected around January 24-25, with further details on pricing anticipated by December 15. As we eagerly await the global release, OnePlus enthusiasts can expect an Android flagship that combines cutting-edge features with a powerhouse performance. Stay tuned for updates on this game-changing device!
