OnePlus 12, the latest flagship smartphone from OnePlus, has been announced in China and is set to release worldwide. The company has already started accepting preorders for the device in the US, with open sales beginning on February 7.
While the pricing for the OnePlus 12 is yet to be confirmed, industry experts expect it to be similar to its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, which launched at $699/$799 depending on specifications. The base model of the OnePlus 12 comes with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, while a higher-spec option offers 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM.
Both variants of the OnePlus 12 are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and feature three rear cameras branded by Hasselblad, a leading camera manufacturer. The phone boasts a 6.82-inch display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, making for a vivid and immersive viewing experience. It also includes class-leading cooling technology, making it ideal for intense gaming sessions.
In terms of design, the OnePlus 12 comes in two colors: silky black and flowy emerald with a wavy pattern glass finish. OnePlus has also reintroduced wireless charging with this model, and it supports 50W speeds when used with its proprietary AirVOOC charger. Moreover, the phone is IP65-rated for water and dust resistance, allowing users to use its screen even in the rain.
As expected, the OnePlus 12 includes popular features from previous OnePlus models, such as an alert slider, fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi 7 support, and it runs on the latest Android 14 operating system. OnePlus has also certified the phone to work with 5G networks offered by major US carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
The OnePlus 12 will be available for purchase through several channels, including Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from OnePlus’ website. It is worth noting that OnePlus will also launch a more affordable model alongside the OnePlus 12 called the OnePlus 12R. The OnePlus 12R features a slightly older processor, a larger battery, and supports 80W fast charging. Its pricing is expected to be lower than that of the OnePlus 12, making it a suitable option for those looking for solid all-round performance at a more affordable price.
Overall, the OnePlus 12 promises to deliver a high-performance smartphone experience with a range of exciting features, all while offering different options to cater to various budgets. Customers eagerly awaiting its release can now preorder the device and experience the latest in smartphone technology.
