OnePlus just launched the OnePlus 12 earlier this month in China, and the company has announced that they are also launching the flagship phone globally next year.
But the OnePlus 12 isn’t going to be the only one making a global appearance. The company said they are launching the OnePlus R series globally as well, which is the first time in the series’ history.
The OnePlus 12 and 12R are set to be released at the OnePlus Smooth Beyond Belief
Launch Event at 19:30 IST (10pm MYT), on 23 January 2024.
The OnePlus 12 is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which will be available in four configurations: 12GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, 16GB+1TB, and 24GB+1TB.
Equipped with a BOE X1 6.82-inch LTPO OLED display boasting a resolution of 1,440 x 3,168 px and a variable 1-120Hz refresh rate, the phone achieves an industry-leading peak brightness of 4,500 nits in auto mode and employs 2,160Hz PWM dimming.
The OnePlus 12’s triple camera setup comprises a LYT808 50MP main camera developed in collaboration with Sony, an OV64B 64MP 3X periscope telephoto camera, and an IMX581 48MP ultrawide camera. Additionally, a 32MP front camera is housed in a centrally located punch-hole display for selfies.
Powering the device is a substantial 5,400mAh dual-cell battery supporting 100W SUPERVOOC fast wired charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging. OnePlus introduces a new Dual Cryo-velocity Cooling System that enhances cooling surface area, cooling materials, and structural design, ensuring the phone remains cool during intense usage.
Connectivity features of the phone include dual SIM support, 5G capability, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, GNSS, NFC, and USB 3.2 Gen 1. The device is equipped with additional features such as an alert slider, an IR blaster, an x-axis linear vibration motor, and dual stereo speakers.
On the software front, the phone runs on ColorOS 14, built on the foundation of Android 14. Additionally, it holds an IP65 rating, rated for water splashes.
At the time of writing, OnePlus has not released the official specification of the OnePlus 12R, but we guess it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and with a downgraded triple-camera setup.
