OnePlus, the trailblazing smartphone manufacturer, has officially launched the highly anticipated OnePlus 12 in China, offering consumers a glimpse into the future of flagship smartphones. The international launch is slated for early 2024, and while details on pricing and global configurations remain undisclosed, the initial revelations showcase a device poised to redefine the smartphone landscape.
Externally, the OnePlus 12 maintains the sleek design of its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, with a notable shift in the placement of the Alert Slider from the right side to the left side. The circular disk around the cameras now features a translucent finish in the white and green variants, distinguishing it from the previous shiny metal design in the black model.
The camera system sees improvements, notably with a sharper 64-megapixel periscope 3x optical zoom telephoto camera, up from the OnePlus 11’s 32-megapixel telephoto lens. The main and ultrawide cameras remain powerful, with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera.
Internally, the OnePlus 12 is a powerhouse, boasting Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This comes with significant performance enhancements compared to the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and introduces on-device generative AI. While specifics on the implementation of ChatGPT-like features are yet to be revealed, the move signals a commitment to cutting-edge AI capabilities.
