The OnePlus Open is not even here yet, and we are already seeing leaks for the next flagship from the company – OnePlus 12. And honestly, this leak is going to be a big deal.
The new display panel that OnePlus is going to use on the 12 is set to be bigger and brighter than before. This is according to well-known leaker, Digital Chat Station over on Weibo. Who has stated that the display will be a 6.82-inch 120Hz LTPO display as we expected, but the brightness is going to be pretty crazy.
Peak brightness on the OnePlus 12 is going to be 2,600 nits. That will make it brighter than the Pixel 8 Pro that just launched this week – in fact it’s on store shelves starting today. The Pixel 8 Pro has a peak brightness of 2,400 nits, and now the OnePlus 12 is going to be 2,600 nits. This really seems to be the new trend for displays going into 2024, and it’s one we love seeing.
This change in display size would be the first time since the OnePlus 8 Pro when they went to 6.7-inches on the Pro models (before ditching the “Pro” earlier this year). So it’s about time the display size changed, but this is still a pretty minor one.
OnePlus 12 is also rumored to have up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage
As if that display upgrade wasn’t enough, it’s not being rumored that the OnePlus 12 is going to offer up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage on the top spec. Now, obviously that will not be the base model. The base model will likely be around 8GB/256GB, with a 16GB/512GB and then the 24GB/1TB being available. But those numbers are sort of insane.
If this does end up happening, this could be the first non-gaming smartphone to launch with 24GB of RAM. Now the real question is, do we really need 24GB of RAM in a smartphone? The answer is probably not. But it’s always good to have more than you need.
Finally, the leaker also mentioned that the OnePlus 12 would be launching with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Now this is not much of a surprise, since OnePlus always uses the latest silicon in its flagship phones. But good to see it being confirmed here.
