According to reputable OnePlus tipster Max Jamboor, renowned for accurate leaks, the global launch is slated for January 2024.
Leaks hint at the introduction of the "OnePlus 12 series," indicating the possibility of multiple phones within the lineup. Whether there will be a more advanced OnePlus 12 Pro or a scaled-down 12R remains uncertain. Additionally, speculation suggests the potential existence of a Lite version as well.

OnePlus 12 Specifications (Expected)
One of the standout features of the upcoming OnePlus 12 is expected to be its 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. Given OnePlus's previous collaborations with Hasselblad, it's safe to speculate the latest phones from the company will continue to sport cameras designed by the leading Swedish manufacturer.

This display is set to deliver a high resolution of 1440 x 3168 pixels and an impressive peak brightness of up to 2,600 nits, surpassing the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max's peak brightness of 2,000 nits. Additionally, the smartphone will debut its first-ever imaging engine chip, the Display P1.
Recent leaks and rumors have suggested that the OnePlus 12 will feature a 6.82-inch QHD+ (1,440 x 3,168 pixels) curved LTPO display. The device is rumored to house a triple rear camera setup, with a 50-megapixel primary sensor, complemented by a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Powering the device is speculated to be a robust 5,400mAh battery, equipped with 100W wired charging support and 50W wireless charging capabilities.
