Launch or reference price for the OnePlus 12. Current retail prices vary by store and country.
The OnePlus 12 marked a grand return to form for OnePlus. It addressed every critique of previous models: wireless charging returned with a blistering 50W AirVOOC system, the USB port jumped to high-speed USB 3.2, and a high-resolution 64MP periscope telephoto was introduced. Its 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED panel hits 4500 nits peak with 2160Hz eye-friendly PWM dimming and Aqua Touch tech for seamless typing in the rain. Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a cavernous 9140mm² dual-circuit vapor chamber and a 5400 mAh battery that charges to full in 26 minutes, the OnePlus 12 stands as one of the best value-for-money flagships ever released.
168 verified specification points across 19 categories.
The overall 8.5 is built from ten category scores. Here is the reason behind each one, tied to this phone's own figures.
Despite our efforts to keep the OnePlus 12 specifications complete and correct, mistakes get through. If you see anything wrong or missing on this page, please— every report is read, and corrections are made to the record itself.
