OnePlus 12 Global Launch in January 2024 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

OnePlus has confirmed that the upcoming OnePlus 12 flagship model will be unveiled in China on December 4 during the company’s 10-year anniversary celebration event. The phone is expected to succeed OnePlus’s current flagship model, the OnePlus 11 5G, which was launched in February this year with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

OnePlus has already confirmed some key specifications of the upcoming flagship model. However, it has so far only talked about a single OnePlus 12 handset. Now, a tipster suggests the possible global launch timeline of the OnePlus 12 series.

Tipster Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) said in an X (former Twitter) post that the OnePlus 12 series will launch globally in January 2024. He, however, did not specify the models that are likely to be included in the upcoming series.

It is likely that OnePlus could also unveil a OnePlus 12R model, to succeed the OnePlus 11R. OnePlus is yet to confirm any other models other than the base variant.

OnePlus 12 Specifications

OnePlus has confirmed that the upcoming flagship model will feature a ProXDR display with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, 2K resolution, and DisplayMate’s A+ certification. It will ship with Android 14 with ColorOS 14 on top.

The OnePlus 12 is also confirmed to get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and a Sony LYTIA LYT808 primary rear sensor along with a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.

Previous leaks have suggested that the OnePlus 12 may come with a 6.82-inch QHD+ (1,440 x 3,168 pixels) curved LTPO display and sport a triple rear camera unit. The phone is said to have a 50-megapixel primary rear sensor and a 32-megapixel front sensor.

It is tipped to pack a 5,400mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging support.
