And while OnePlus may make the jump to 24GB of RAM, the OnePlus 12 will apparently only have 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which is still plenty, even for power users. It will also come with 256GB of USB 4.0 storage.
The display will be a AMOLED with 2K resolution. From what we've seen in previous rumors, OnePlus is changing things up a bit, moving the selfie camera to the center.
On the back, the OnePlus 12 will have a 50MP main camera sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, and a 64MP 3X telephoto camera. Interestingly, there is no mention of a periscope camera. We see the presence of a notification slider, a popular feature on OnePlus devices.
When it launches, the phone will run OxygenOS 14. According to the information, there's a 5,400 mAh battery underneath , with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. While a OnePlus phone isn't the fastest, it's still far ahead of what many other Android phones offer .
As for when we can expect the OnePlus 12, user Yogesh Brar revealed that the first release will likely be in December in China, and the global release in February 2024.
The OnePlus 12's launch in February would likely pit it against its rival, the Galaxy S24, primarily in the United States. Of course, we also have the OnePlus Open to look forward to in August, which will also give Samsung some much-needed competition.
