Before the anticipated release of the OnePlus 12, the OnePlus 12’s specs have been revealed online. The OnePlus 11 5G (Review), which was introduced earlier this year in India, will likely be replaced by the company’s next flagship smartphone. Though the OnePlus 11 has only been available for a few months, information on the company’s upcoming flagship has already surfaced online. Some of the essential details of the allegedly OnePlus 12 flagship phone’s latest leak are made known. If the reported specifications are to be believed, the phone will include significant improvements in both its camera and CPU over the OnePlus 11 5G.

Based on the configuration of an engineering unit, tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed the OnePlus 12’s specs. The leaker claims that the OnePlus 12 will have a 6.7-inch OLED screen. According to reports, the display has a 120Hz refresh rate and a quad-HD resolution. Additionally, according to Brar, the OnePlus 12 5G will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, with the model number SM8650.

On the back panel, there will be a triple camera system. The OnePlus 12 will include three cameras: a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 64-megapixel periscope sensor, according to Brar. Brar did not provide any further information on the specifics of these sensors, but if the reported specifications are genuine, the OnePlus 12 will receive some significant improvements in the area of the camera.

In contrast, the OnePlus 11 5G had a triple rear camera arrangement with a 50-megapixel 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX890 sensor with optical image stabilisation, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera, 1 and a 32-megapixel telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

Like its predecessor, the OnePlus 12 5G will include a 5,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging capabilities, claims Brar. According to the report, the OnePlus 12 launch event will take place in December. The smartphone is most likely to make its debut in China before perhaps entering other countries in the months to come.

It is important to note that the configuration of the engineering unit served as the basis for the OnePlus 12’s rumoured specifications. Given that the projected debut date is still more than six months away, it’s likely that the device’s specifications will alter before the company officially announces it.
