Through a leaked teaser shared on Weibo, it has been confirmed that the launch event, which will take place in China, will not only reveal the device's design and features, but will also highlight improvements over the previous model.
In this article, we'll reveal the details of the OnePlus 12 expected on that day.
OnePlus 12 features revealed
-
LTPO display
Among the revealed features, the OnePlus 12's display is presented as an impressive 6.82-inch LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) panel manufactured by BOE, with a maximum brightness of 2,600 nits.
LTPO panels are a type of display technology that uses low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (PCO) for transistors. This technology is known for its energy efficiency and flexibility in controlling the display's refresh rate.
The key benefit of LTPO panels is their ability to dynamically adjust the display's refresh rate based on the needs of the content being displayed. This allows for greater energy efficiency, as the display can reduce the refresh rate when displaying static or less dynamic images, thereby saving power and contributing to longer battery life on mobile devices such as smartphones and smartwatches.

The crown jewel of the photography department is the 48-megapixel Sony Lytia 808 sensor, responsible for capturing images with exceptional quality. The presence of the telephoto sensor, developed by Omnivision with the 64-megapixel OV64B, will allow for optical zooming of distant objects, improving image quality by maintaining clarity and detail throughout the zoom, resulting in sharper and more detailed photographs. This will be supported by a 48-megapixel wide-angle module.
