Therefore very high level specifications for OnePlus 12, which uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 ROM, with a quantity of memory record-breaking.

And the brightness of the display is also a record, reaching 4,500 nits, never seen before on a smartphone.

And to cool so much hardware, OnePlus boasts a new cooling system called Dual Cryo-velocitywhich promises to ensure “a comfortable experience even in high-performance situations“.

The partnership with Hasselbladfor what is the best camera phone in the history of OnePlus (another statement that we reserve the right to judge for ourselves).

The greatest element of continuity with the past is perhaps the designwhich continues in the language introduced by OnePlus 11, inspired by luxury watches“with refined curves and recesses“.

Price and Exit

Having been announced only for China, we currently have local prices, but not those on the international market. So keep in mind that the conversion from the Chinese price can be misleading, and that the variations will be available in Italy they may not be the same; what is certain is that the 24GB/1TB one for “only” €750 is tempting!
