Till this level we hadn’t heard a lot in regards to the OnePlus 12. There was the odd small leak right here and rumor there, however now we’re listening to an virtually full specs record for the telephone, and it’s a combined bag of promising and, effectively, the identical the OnePlus 11.

This comes from leaker Yogesh Brar, who has an inexpensive observe document, however they add the caveat that that is for an engineering configuration of the telephone, which could imply some facets might change earlier than launch.

In any case, Brar claims that the OnePlus 12 can have a triple-lens digital camera, with a 50MP foremost sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP periscope zoom digital camera. For reference, the OnePlus 11 has a 50MP foremost, 48MP ultra-wide, and 32MP telephoto.

OnePlus 12(Engineering config)- 6.7″ QHD OLED, 120Hz- Qualcomm Snapdragon eight Gen 3 (SM8650)- 50MP + 50MP (UW) + 64MP (periscope)- 5,000mAh battery- 100W chargingLaunch: December (China)Might 25, 2023

As such, if Brar is correct, then each the ultra-wide and zoom cameras can be totally different on the 12; each boasting extra megapixels. That stated, the outline of the 64MP digital camera as being a ‘periscope’ suggests that it’s going to additionally provide longer distance optical zoom than the 2x optical of the OnePlus 11, which was actually supposed for better-quality portrait taking pictures over capturing issues farther away.

Usually, periscope cameras are used for 4x magnification optical zoom and past, with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely utilizing a periscope digital camera design to supply as a lot as 10x optical zoom. At a guess, we don’t think about the OnePlus 12 will handle 10x magnification – as few telephones do – however round 4x or 5x optical zoom appears very doubtless, if this leak is correct.

The change in these two sensors might additionally imply enhancements behind the scenes, resembling a bigger sensor measurement, although we don’t know that but. It’s additionally value noting that simply because the principle sensor is outwardly 50MP as soon as extra, that doesn’t essentially imply the {hardware} at play isn’t altering too, but it surely’s most likely unlikely that OnePlus would change out all three in a single technology.

Extra energy however the identical display screen

As for the remainder of the rumored specs, these are relatively much less thrilling. Brar claims the OnePlus 12 can have a 6.7-inch QHD OLED display screen with a 120Hz refresh charge, a Snapdragon eight Gen Three chipset, and a 5,000mAh battery with 100W charging.

On paper, the one change there may be the chipset, and the one talked about right here is not any shock, because the OnePlus 11 makes use of the Snapdragon eight Gen 2. In fact, there may very well be particulars that these specs don’t inform us; for instance the display screen could be brighter this 12 months, however we’ll have to attend and see.

It’s additionally value noting that the 100W charging velocity could not apply within the US, as whereas the OnePlus 11 costs at 100W in many of the world, it’s restricted to 80W there, as a result of US utilizing 110-volt shops that may’t benefit from the corporate’s charging system.

Lastly, Brar claims that the OnePlus 12 will really launch this 12 months, with a December launch apparently deliberate in China. Nevertheless, OnePlus has been recognized to launch telephones in China initially, after which give them a worldwide launch a month or so later.

It did precisely that with the OnePlus 11 (although even China didn’t get that till January, with the remainder of the world getting it in February). So we’d see a worldwide OnePlus 12 launch in January of subsequent 12 months – which might nonetheless be a month earlier within the 12 months than the OnePlus 11.

You won’t have to attend till then for an thrilling new OnePlus telephone although, as the primary OnePlus foldable might land earlier than the tip of 2023.
