The OnePlus 12 has been in the rumor mill for quite some time now, and the company has just seemingly revealed its launch date. Based on what OnePlus shared on Weibo, the phone will launch on December 4, exactly a month before the OnePlus 11.
The OnePlus 12 launch date has seemingly just been revealed by the company
The OnePlus 11 arrived on January 4. It launched in China first, and it seems like the same will be the case with the OnePlus 12. Now, this announcement is rather odd, to be quite honest.
Several sources said that the phone is definitively launching on December 4, but after looking at OnePlus’ post on Weibo, I’m not 100% sure. OnePlus did announce some sort of event for its 10th anniversary (which is on December 4), and OnePlus 12 was mentioned. OnePlus did not, however, strictly say that the phone is launching on that day.
It would make all the sense in the world, to be quite honest. Launching a new flagship product on your 10th anniversary, it’ll probably happen, but until OnePlus flat out says it, Let’s just say it’s expected, but not definitively confirmed.
Following that post, OnePlus did share several other posts in which it talks about the OnePlus 12. The company basically mentioned all the info that was already announced, including the phone’s BOE X1 display, Sony LYT-808 main camera sensor, and more.
The global launch event will take place later on, it seems
So, by the looks of it, the device will launch on December 4. The global launch will likely follow at a later date, as it did last year. It will come sooner this time around, however, as the device will launch a month earlier in China.
The OnePlus 12 will be rather similar to its predecessor design-wise. It will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, Qualcomm’s latest and greatest chip. Top-of-the-line RAM and UFS storage are expected too
A 5,400mAh was mentioned in several leaks, a noticeably larger battery pack than in the OnePlus 11. This phone will also offer immensely fast charging (100W, likely), and 50W wireless charging too.
It will have one of the brightest (if not the brightest) displays in the market, and a truly capable camera setup.
