The OnePlus 12 is expected to run on Android 14 with OxygenOS 14 on top. It is rumoured to sport a 6.7-inch fluid LTPO AMOLED display with an impressive 2K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device is Qualcomm's yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, offering top-notch performance. The phone is likely to boast 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a capacious 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Camera enthusiasts will be excited to hear about the Hasselblad-branded triple-camera setup on the OnePlus 12, consisting of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens. On the front, you can expect a 32-megapixel selfie camera nestled within a hole punch cutout on the display.
The device is also rumoured to feature an alert slider, a signature OnePlus component, along with an in-display fingerprint scanner for secure authentication. The OnePlus 12 will likely be fueled by a hefty 5,400mAh battery, offering impressive charging capabilities with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging support.
Keep in mind that the OnePlus 12's official price and availability will be revealed closer to its launch. But looking back at the OnePlus 11 5G, which debuted with a price tag of Rs 56,999 for the 8GB + 128GB storage variant and Rs 61,999 for the 16GB + 256GB storage variant, it's safe to say that the OnePlus 12 will be another exciting addition to the OnePlus lineup.
