All About the Upcoming OnePlus 12

Digital Chat Station, a well-known tipster, shared the display details of the OnePlus 12 on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging platform. According to the leak, the device will sport a 6.82-inch QHD+ (1,440 x 3,168 pixels) curved low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display manufactured by BOE. This screen is reported to offer a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,160Hz PWM dimming. In contrast, the OnePlus 11 5G from the previous year featured a 6.7-inch QHD+ (1,440×3,216 pixels) Samsung LTPO 3.0 AMOLED display.

The OnePlus 12 is expected to be available with up to 24GB of RAM and storage options of up to 1TB, and it may come in black, white, and green color variants. The upcoming OnePlus 12 is set to be the world’s first phone to incorporate Sony’s innovative LYTIA image sensor. There are speculations that this sensor could potentially be the high-resolution 50MP IMX 966. Notably, this sensor leverages Sony’s advanced 2-layer transistor pixel technology.

The stacked sensor is known for its improved low-light photography capabilities. Sony previously announced its intention to expand the LYTIA image sensor line with new 50-megapixel offerings in June. Therefore, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the primary camera of the OnePlus 12 could indeed feature the 50MP IMX966. In OnePlus’s Weibo post, it’s expressed that the new generation of Sony’s LYTIA sensor represents an embodiment of beauty through light and heralds a new era for mobile imaging.

Regarding the specifications, the OnePlus 12 is rumored to run on the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with either 16GB or 24GB of RAM. It is expected to feature a 32-megapixel front camera, an alert slider, and an in-display fingerprint scanner for authentication. The device is reported to pack a 5,400mAh battery with support for 100W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
