OnePlus 12 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be available globally January 23
The OnePlus 12 has officially launched in China and now the company's most powerful phone is coming to the rest of the world. OnePlus has announced global availability for January 23, including the US. All told, the company ways the phone will be available in 50 markets worldwide. If you've been intrigued by the company's latest flagship smartphone, you won't have long to wait until getting your hands on one.
This phone certainly has mouth-watering specs. You can soup it up with up to 24GB of RAM, which is more than I have in my work laptop and the same amount as my music and video-making desktop. The base model ships with 12GB of RAM, which is still plenty. As a comparison, the iPhone 15 boasts just 6GB of RAM.
These phones also offer up to 1TB of storage and come outfitted with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile chipset. Charging speeds are also great on paper, offering support for 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Incidentally, the OnePlus 11 didn't have wireless charging at all.
There's a new Sony LYT-808 sensor for the 50-megapixel main camera and a 64-megapixel periscopic telephoto camera. The 6.82-inch 120Hz AMOLED display is a 2K panel manufactured by China's BOE Technology Group.
The aesthetics resemble its predecessor, but the camera island's color now matches the body. In addition to glossy white and classic matte black colorways, you can also purchase a OnePlus 12 in green. There's no pricing yet, but in China this thing costs the equivalent of $610 for the base model and $820 for the high-end version with 24GB of RAM and 1TGB of storage.
The OnePlus 12 is being released as part of the company's 10th anniversary. This isn't the only big news to come out of that celebration. OnePlus has also announced it'll be selling the OnePlus 12R smartphone in other parts of the world beyond China and India, a first for the R" series. However, OnePlus hasn't announced any specs or information about the 12R. The OnePlus 11R was a slightly underpowered and budget-friendly version of the flagship phone, so maybe the 12R will follow suit.
