OnePlus 12, the upcoming flagship from Oppo’s subsidiary OnePlus, already has an official release date in China, its home country. This phone, which stands as OnePlus’s flagship for its tenth anniversary, will be available for purchase locally in the Asian country on December 5th, allowing Chinese users to get their hands on this device.
The international arrival of the OnePlus 12 is confirmed, but its date hasn’t been revealed yet. To find out when this device will hit stores worldwide, the company insists that the global launch date will be unveiled on December 15th. On that day, users will finally know if this phone will reach European markets before the end of 2023.
OnePlus 12, the monstrous device that aims to conquer the market
The OnePlus 12 has everything necessary to position itself as one of the leading mobile phones for 2024. Its high-quality components will allow users to enjoy a premium experience. Evidence of this is its 2K quality display with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with its chipset led by the 3rd generation Snapdragon 8 processor, which, being newly introduced, aims to lead the phone industry in 2024.
But that’s not all. The OnePlus 12 will also feature a top-notch camera setup under the Hasselblad brand, boasting a 5,400 mAh battery with 100W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. This will make it one of the most efficient phones in terms of battery, thanks to its amperage size and charging speed.
Its merger with OPPO
It has been more than two years since OnePlus was absorbed by OPPO to become a brand that, although still independent from OPPO, now coexists within its ecosystem. Currently, we continue to see OnePlus positioning itself in the mid-range and high-end markets, unlike OPPO, whose devices target all segments, including the foldable range with models like the OPPO Find N3. However, OnePlus’s foldable version, released in 2023, has also generated a lot of buzz.
At the moment, it’s evident that both brands are developing in parallel despite being part of the same company, even competing in various market niches. This isn’t the most common scenario, as seen with other brands like Redmi or POCO within Xiaomi, where Redmi focuses more on the entry-level and mid-range, POCO targets the affordable mid-range and high-end, and Xiaomi operates in the high and premium segments without overlapping too much in their market spaces.
