OnePlus 12 design shown by the company's CEO himself

The OnePlus 12 design has just been shown by the company’s CEO himself, Pete Lau. Just to be clear, he does not show us the phone’s entire design, but only the device from the front. We did notice some additional details by looking at the picture, though.

The OnePlus 12 design gets shown by the company’s CEO… well, partially

You can check out the original image below this paragraph, along with a cropped one, that zooms in on the phone. That being said, you’ll notice that OnePlus will once again utilize a curved display on the device.

Google gave up on curved displays, as both of its Pixel 8 devices have a flat display. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is also said to include a flat display, so the entire Galaxy S24 series will feature such panels.

OnePlus is sticking to it, it seems. On top of that, there is a display camera hole on the phone, and it’s centered. That’s one change compared to the OnePlus 11. Up until now, the company’s flagship had a display camera hole in the top-left corner.

The bezels on the phone are very thin, but they don’t seem to be uniform. We could be wrong, though, as the side bezels can seem thinner than they are on curved panels. In any case, the bezels are quite thin.

OnePlus will change the position of the alert slider & volume control buttons

Another change you’ll notice compared to the OnePlus 11 is the position of the volume up and down buttons, and the alert slider They basically switched places. The volume up and down buttons are now on the right side, above the power/lock key. The alert slider is on the left. That will make the volume buttons easier to reach, for right-handed people, unlike the alert slider.

That is basically all the info that we could gather from this image. The phone will be large, as expected. That much is noticeable when you see it in hand. OnePlus will launch this phone either towards the end of the year, or in January next year.
