The smartphone is scheduled to launch in Q1 of 2024 in global markets.

OnePlus announced at the OnePlus 11 launch event that it wouldn’t launch any other smartphones in the OnePlus 11 series apart from OnePlus 11R. The company is currently working on its first foldable smartphones OnePlus Z Fold and OnePlus Z Flip, which were tipped recently. Apart from these foldable smartphones, the other major launch of a OnePlus device in 2023 would be the upcoming OnePlus 12 smartphone. Ahead of the launch, renowned tipster Yogesh Brar has tipped the specifications of the forthcoming smartphones. The tipped specifications indicate that OnePlus won’t bring a massive upgrade over the existing OnePlus 11 5G smartphone.

OnePlus 12 Tipped Specifications

The tipster revealed that OnePlus 12 will continue to use a large 6.7 inches OLED display with a QHD+ resolution. The display will also continue to sport the same refresh rate of 120Hz. OnePlus had used a similar sized panel with OnePlus 11 smartphone, which was an LTPO3 Fluid AMOLED with support for Doly Vision, HDR10+, and more. The biggest change would be the upgradation of its chipset to the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

Qualcomm is tipped to announce the chipset by the end of November or early December. The upcoming chipset will bear the model number SM8650 and is said to offer a 35% improvement in energy efficiency. Other reports on the web said that the chipset would pack one prime Cortex-X4 CPU core clocked at 3.7 GHz, five other performance cores, and two smaller efficiency cores.

Qualcomm has confirmed that it will use the Snapdragon X75 modem to offer Satellite connectivity. Digital Chat Station tipped that the chipset will continue to use the 4nm process and integrate the Adreno 750 GPU. Another update to the forthcoming OnePlus 12 will include a periscope sensor. Yogesh revealed the rear-camera setup consists of a triple camera including a primary 50MP sensor, another 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a periscope 64MP sensor.

He added that OnePlus will continue to pack a large 5000 mAh battery with 100W fast charging tech support. The tipster also revealed the smartphone’s launch timeline. OnePlus is likely to launch the device in December in China. The upcoming OnePlus 12 smartphone might be the first device to launch with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

As we mentioned in the introduction, the upcoming OnePlus 12 5G smartphone doesn’t have a huge improvement over its predecessor. OnePlus 11 5G has a 6.7-inch Fluid LTPO AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Regarding optics, it sports a 50MP Sony IMX 890 primary sensor with OIS, a 48MP Sony IMX 581 ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 32MP Sony IMX 709 telephoto sensor.
