OnePlus 12- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Everything You Need to Know

Introduction

The OnePlus 12 is a well-engineered premium Android phone that uses a lot of technology in the background to ensure that using the device is simple and seamless. The appearance of this new phone won’t only impress, but perhaps that’s not as big of a deal as some might believe.

The OnePlus 12 is an excellent version of a tried-and-true design. With a larger 6.82-inch display, a brighter 4,500 nits display, and a more potent Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU, it has a similar design to the previous generation. Additionally, it uses 10% less power despite having a 5,400 mAh battery. Finally, OnePlus has returned wireless charging to its flagship handset, the 12, with fast 50W charging possible with a special OnePlus wireless charger. This is one of the best things ever. The 12 supports 80W fast charging. The OnePlus 12 feels fascinating in the hand. To be honest, it’s nearly too thin and light.

Shining Visuals on OnePlus 12

The display is stunning, with vibrant backlighting, rich colours, and ease of usage. The 120Hz refresh rate allows for smooth scrolling motion and touchscreen performance. Even the internal technology can change the refresh rate according to what you’re doing—for instance, 10Hz for reading an ebook or 60Hz for making video chats.

Even in congested spaces, demanding games like Genshin Impact and Diablo Immortal function flawlessly on the tablet. Oxygen OS comes with a small game overlay, and the device felt quite warm it set to Gamer Mode, which has a greater performance rate than Balanced Mode. Because it understands that gamers want to play with their devices plugged in, OnePlus has released the Dual Cryo-velocity VC Cooling System, a very significant cooling improvement.

According to OnePlus, the cooling system is bigger than anyone else’s and offers a better avenue for heat to exit the internals, preventing overheating your phone when gaming. In practice, this means that the OnePlus 12 won’t die in the middle of a game session even while it still becomes warm during gameplay and even when it is plugged in to maintain the battery level.

OnePlus 12 Hasselblad Camera

The OnePlus 12 boasts a really good camera. It produces excellent images in both bright and dim lighting. It quickly boots up and allows you to quickly switch between Pro, Video, Photo, and Portrait mode.

The neat thing about the portrait mode is that each zoom level—1x, 2x, and 3x—imitates a different Hasselblad lens, producing a range of bokeh effects that can help you take more creative pictures. Even more photo features, such as night mode, high-resolution images, panoramas, movies, slo-mo, time-lapse, long exposure, dual view video, text scanning, tilt-shift, and span, are hidden behind the More button. Oh my.

You may change every small option to your liking in the Pro mode—which is now, regrettably, called Master Mode—including saturation, dark corners, contrast, sharpness, hue, and more.

The OnePlus 12 boasts a 50MP Wide Camera, which it says is a “first” for the industry and uses Sony’s LYT-808 sensor. In addition, it boasts an 85-degree field of view, a 1/1.4 sensor, a 1.12-micron pixel size, a ƒ/1.6 aperture, and a focal lens comparable to a 23mm. The 4MP 3x optical periscope telephoto camera features a focal lens similar to 70mm and a 6x in-sensor digital zoom. This 114-degree ultra-wide camera has a 16mm equivalent focal lens and 48MP resolution.
