The flagship smartphone OnePlus has gained a reputation for offering feature-rich devices at wallet-friendly prices, although it may not be as recognizable as Apple or Samsung. The latest addition to their lineup is the OnePlus 12, which continues the trend with a large display, a generous battery, and an advanced camera system, all for $800.
The OnePlus 12 was initially released in China at the end of last year, and now it has made its way to the United States and Canada. This device features a slightly larger display than its predecessor, the OnePlus 11 from 2023. Its 6.82-inch AMOLED screen with a 10-bit resolution offers a variable refresh rate from 1Hz (for power-saving) to 120Hz (for smooth gaming). The durability of the OnePlus 12 is ensured by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which has undergone drop tests from a height of one meter onto concrete.
Additionally, the OnePlus 12 features a touchscreen that can be operated even when wet, whether from rain or during intense workouts.
Although the OnePlus 12 has a larger display, its resolution is slightly smaller (3168 x 1440) compared to its predecessor (3216 x 1440). However, this is compensated by a significant increase in brightness. The OnePlus 12 achieves a maximum brightness of 4500 nits, while the OnePlus 11 only offered 1300 nits. For comparison, both models of the iPhone 15 Pro have a maximum brightness of 2000 nits, making the OnePlus 12 an excellent option for those who frequently use their devices in sunlight.
Under the hood, the OnePlus 12 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, with options for up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. To optimize the device’s performance, OnePlus has equipped it with a new liquid cooling system that prevents overheating during intensive use, such as gaming or video editing, even while charging.
The “Twin battery design” gives the OnePlus 12 a combined power of 5400mAh. The company claims that this allows continuous 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second for approximately 5.5 hours. OnePlus 12 also supports wireless charging, including the Qi 2 standard with a charging speed of up to 15W. However, when combined with the OnePlus AIRVOOC wireless charging system, charging speeds jump to an impressive 50W, with 25W of wireless power being sent to each cell of the battery for simultaneous charging.
For even faster charging, the OnePlus 80W SUPERVOOC charger will fully charge the smartphone in just 30 minutes using a USB-C cable.
Despite its lower price compared to flagship smartphones from Apple and Samsung, the OnePlus 12 offers advanced features such as support for the new Wi-Fi 7 standard, spatial sound, and OnePlus’s three-dimensional intelligent notification switch (for switching between sound, vibration, or mute modes).
The OnePlus 12 is equipped with four cameras, with the smallest camera being a 32MP selfie shooter.
The success of most smartphones now depends on their capabilities as digital cameras, and the OnePlus 12 does not disappoint in this aspect either. The device’s quad-camera setup consists of a 50MP main camera, a 48MP wide-angle camera with a 114-degree field of view, a 64MP optically stabilized telephoto lens with a periscope lens offering 3x optical zoom, and a 6x zoom thanks to image cropping. On the front panel, the OnePlus 12 also features a 32MP selfie and video call camera.
When it comes to video recording, the OnePlus 12 can capture 8K videos at 24 frames per second, 4K videos at 60 frames per second, and slow-motion footage in 1080p resolution at 480 frames per second.
The OnePlus 12 will be available for sale in the United States and Canada starting from February 6th, with prices starting at $800 for the model with 12GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, and in the Silky Black color. For an additional $100, customers can get the version with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage, and a choice between Silky Black and Flowy Emerald colors.
