OnePlus’s Development: A History to the Present
Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane before delving into the OnePlus 12. The progression culminating in the OnePlus 12 is paved with the innovation, elegant design, and user-focused features that define the OnePlus legacy.
Design and display
Design-wise, the OnePlus 12 may adopt the same layout as its predecessor after the firm made some adjustments to the camera island. According to recently rumored renders obtained by MySmartPrice, the OnePlus 12 will resemble the OnePlus 11 in every way, including the placement of the SIM card slot, charging port, power and volume buttons, alert slider, and charging port.
The firm may be considering moving the front camera cutout from the upper left corner of the screen to the center, according to a screenshot that the newspaper provided. Well-known source Digital Chat Station has also suggested that the OnePlus 12 will come with a glossy glass back panel and a new white color.
Regarding the screen, the OnePlus 12 is speculated to feature a stunning 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz, which is made in collaboration with Chinese display panel maker BOE. The new display is speculated to have the same 2K resolution as the OnePlus 11 and a peak brightness increase of up to 2,600 nits. The display is also rumored to have better PWM dimming and increased color accuracy.
More RAM and faster chipset
Most likely, Qualcomm’s latest and fastest chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, will be included in the next phone. In terms of multi-core benchmarks, the new chipset is more powerful than its predecessor due to its 1+3+2+2 design. OnePlus 12 may come with 256GB UFS 4.0 storage and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM. However, recent leaks also suggest a model with 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
Enhanced battery capacity and wireless charging
The OnePlus 12 is speculated to have a 5,400mAh battery and support 100W cable charging; But, according to new reports, the company may choose to stick with a 5,000mAh battery.
Tipsters have suggested in recent months that the company may also reinstate the IP rating and wireless charging capability, features OnePlus removed with the OnePlus 11.
That is consistent with earlier reports that the OnePlus 12 will launch at the end of the year. According to Yogesh Brar, the gadget should launch in China in December 2023 and go on sale worldwide in February 2024.

The anticipated cost of the OnePlus 12
The OnePlus 11 of 2023 is more expensive than the OnePlus 10T of the last generation. The starting price of the latest model smartphone is $699/£729, while the older model was $649/£629.
We wouldn’t be shocked to see another price increase of this kind given the new features that the OnePlus 12 is expected to have. It’s hard to predict how much the new phone will cost or what the cost will be elsewhere. However, we believe that the initial price will be $749/£799.
