OnePlus 12: Key Specs
The OnePlus 12 is of course powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform.
Compared to the last generation of Qualcomm silicone, the handset boasts a 30% improvement in Kryo CPU speeds and a 25% increase in GPU speeds, coupled with a 10% overall improvement in power efficiency.
The device is equipped with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, enhanced by some software wizardry called RAM-Vitalization and ROM-Vitalization.
The OnePlus 12 introduces a 6.8-inch 120Hz 2K Super Fluid AMOLED display with LTPO technology.
That’s fine and we have seen it before.
What we haven’t, and we really shouldn’t without a pair of sunglasses, is the display’s jaw-dropping peak brightness of 4500nits.
Complimenting this is a robust 5400mAh duel-cell battery system, supporting 100W SUPERVOOC fast wired charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging.
Talking about numbers, as OnePlus so often does, the phone can be fully charged in just 26 minutes with wired charging and 55 minutes wirelessly.
But won’t the device heat up too fast, you ask?
Well OnePlus has a dual Cryo-velocity Cooling System that ensures the device remains cool
In terms of the optics, the phone features a 4th Gen Hasselblad Camera which powers a triple camera system of a LYT808 50MP main camera, a 64MP OV64B 3X periscope telephoto camera, and a 48MP ultra-wide camera.
The front of the phone has a 32MP selfie shooter.
OnePlus says that the phone’s design philosophy mirrors the “unbounded beauty of nature”, evident in the Flowy Emerald colourway, which is inspired by the “braided channels of the Dart River”.
Whatever that means.
The phone also features a new generation of ceramic glass technology coated with a matte finish.
Thankfully the OnePlus 12 retains the iconic three-stage alert slider, now repositioned to the left side to accommodate a new integrated antenna and Alert Slider solution.
This change enhances the device’s antenna performance, especially beneficial for gaming enthusiasts.
