The OnePlus 12 design already surfaced back in July. That design was based on CAD-based renders, and the images were shared by @OnLeaks. Well, the same source now brings us an updated design, and this one seems to be final.
Seemingly final OnePlus 12 design is here
The differences between the previous design and this one are not that big. The only place you’ll see the difference is in the camera department. The overall design of the module did not change, but the sensors within it did.
The previous design showed us two cameras in the first row, and one in the bottom row, along with a metallic accent in the background, as shown below.
This design has a mysterious fourth sensor on the back
Now, the new design has two cameras in the first row, one in the second, and a mysterious fourth sensor next to it. The first design obviously had a periscope camera in the second row, but we don’t see it here.
Neither of the three sensors we’re seeing here has the elongated shape of a periscope camera. Perhaps that mysterious fourth sensor has something to do with it? Still, the periscope camera is still expected to be present.
The phone is expected to reach global markets in Q1 2024
The OnePlus 12 will launch in China before the end of the year, and it’s expected to launch globally in Q1 next year. It will, most likely, arrive in January, but we’re still not sure.
This smartphone will be made out of metal and glass, and will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It will have a curved display, with thin bezels, and a centered display camera hole.
The phone is rumored to offer up to 16GB of RAM, and three cameras on the back. A 50-megapixel main camera is tipped, along with a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 64-megapixel periscope camera.
A 5,000mAh battery was also tipped, as was 120W wired, and 50W wireless charging.
