More OnePlus 12 features leaked - this time directly from OnePlus

The OnePlus 12 is still a week away, but at this point we may know everything we need to know about the upcoming flagship before the December 12 launch event begins.

In a series of social media posts today (November 29), OnePlus revealed details about the OnePlus 12's camera setup, display, and even wireless charging capabilities. These revelations follow earlier announcements regarding the OnePlus 12's official colors. [The camera details will likely get the most attention, as the OnePlus 12 hopes to join the ranks of the best camera phones when it hits the global market early next year. The new flagship will feature the same camera system as the OnePlus Open foldable phone, confirming rumors that the flagship will indeed offer the highly touted Sony LYT-T808 sensor.

The Sony LYT-T808 offers 50MP resolution in a 1/1.43-inch optical format for brighter, clearer photos. In addition, OnePlus said the device will feature a 64MP telephoto lens and a 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera.

But OnePlus did not stop there. The company published another social media post confirming that the OnePlus 12 will offer wireless charging, which was not included in the aforementioned OnePlus Open or OnePlus 11. Also corroborating earlier reports, OnePlus said the device's display will ultimately be the brightest screen ever offered on a flagship smartphone due to its 4,500-nit performance. The company even stated that the OnePlus 12's screen will offer "full medical-grade eye protection."

Over the years, OnePlus has tried to establish its flagship device as a viable alternative to Apple and Samsung in the high-end smartphone market. For example, the OnePlus 11 is priced $100 less than the least expensive iPhone 15 and Galaxy S23 while offering comparable features.

As with the launch of the OnePlus 11, OnePlus is trying to beat its competitors with early releases of its phones; in the case of the OnePlus 12, that means a very early launch, appearing in China on December 5 to mark the phone maker's 10th anniversary. OnePlus 12 is expected to launch globally in early 2024, and OnePlus confirmed the exact date at its December 5 event.

So there is still one mystery about the phone.
