The most recent leak, courtesy of Yogesh Brar, a well-known tipster, zeroes in on the OnePlus 12 camera specs of the forthcoming flagship offering.
Brar wrapped up his list of leaked specs with a comment that suggests it’s a “Solid upgrade overall.”
However, not all users are in agreement, particularly when it comes to the main camera’s sensor.
While Brar projects a considerable step forward in the OnePlus 12’s photographic capabilities, some users find the updates lacking.
Dissecting the Main Camera
According to the leaked information, the main camera of the OnePlus 12 will feature a new sensor called the Sony IMX966.
Contrary to expectations that speculated on a 1-inch form factor similar to that found in devices like the Find X6 Pro and the Xiaomi 13 Pro, the IMX966 will feature a 1/1.4-inch form factor.
It is said to come equipped with OIS, a wide aperture at f/1.7, and a 23mm equivalent field of view.
For those hoping for a 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor, the same sensor used in devices such as the Vivo X90 Pro Plus, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, and the Find X6 Pro, the leaked specs might come as a disappointment.
Ultra-Wide and Telephoto Capabilities
Further disclosures indicate that the OnePlus 12 will house a Sony IMX581 sensor for its ultra-wide camera.
This 1/2-inch sensor is not a novelty; it has been featured in the OnePlus 11 and the recently announced Oppo Find N3 Flip.
With an aperture of f/2.2 and a 14mm equivalent field of view, the IMX581 is a reliable choice for capturing broader landscapes.
As for the telephoto camera, there appears to be a departure from its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, which used a 32MP Sony IMX709 sensor for 2X zoom.
Brar’s leak suggests that the OnePlus 12 will employ an OmniVision OV64B sensor, allowing for 3X optical zoom (70mm) and a staggering 120X digital zoom.
The OV64B sensor is also featured in the OnePlus Open.
