The OnePlus 12 was officially launched in China on December 5, 2023. The phone is available in black, white, and green.
Here are some of the OnePlus 12’s features:
- 2K resolution display
- 4,500 nits peak brightness
- Sony IMX581 ultra wide-angle camera
- Up to 24GB of RAM
- Up to 1TB of storage
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset
- 50MP main sensor
- 48MP ultra-wide lens
- 64MP periscope lens with 3x telephoto zoom
The OnePlus 12 is expected to launch globally on January 24. Pre-reservations are available through the OnePlus online store and JD.com.
This spec was shared by the official OnePlus account on Weibo (a Chinese social media site), and for reference the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 4,441mAh battery. None of the other best phones have a battery this big either, and leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s will also be smaller.
So this could be a big win for OnePlus, especially if that large size translates into a long battery life. The company also revealed that the OnePlus 12 will charge at 100W, and that it will feature 50W wireless charging, so it should juice up quickly too.
One slightly less impressive spec, however, is the water resistance, as OnePlus has revealed the phone sports IP65-certification. That gives it robust dust resistance and means it can withstand low-pressure water jets, but it’s less water resistance than most of the top phones have. Still, it is an upgrade on the IP64-rated OnePlus 11.
All of this was posted on Weibo, and this follows previous posts revealing the camera specs (a 48MP main, a 48MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom), the chipset (a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3), the RAM (up to 24GB), the storage (up to 1TB), and the screen brightness (up to 4,500 nits).
Beyond that, leaks have filled in most of the other gaps, including some recent leaked images from Technology Meow on Weibo (via GSMArena) that show a 6.82-inch display.
So there really probably won’t be much left to unveil on December 5, but if you want to tune in anyway, the event kicks off at 1:30am ET / 6:30am GMT / 5:30pm AEDT, or 10:30pm PT on December 4. The unsociable time is because this launch is just for China, with a global launch expected in January.
