OnePlus has confirmed a bunch of OnePlus 12 features, including wireless charging. The OnePlus 11, as many of you probably already know, does not include wireless charging.
The OnePlus 12 is coming with wireless charging, IR blaster, and more
What’s interesting is that the OnePlus 10 Pro did offer wireless charging. So, for whatever reason, OnePlus decided to skip it with the OnePlus 11. Well, it’s coming back, and chances are it’s coming in the same capacity as before. In other words, we’re expecting 50W wireless charging to be included.
The confirmation in regards to wireless charging and some other features come from Li Jie, the OnePlus China President. In addition to wireless charging confirmation, and the camera details he shared earlier today, he also added some other tidbits to the mix.
A feature called ‘Rain Water Touch’ will also be included
He also confirmed that we’ll get an IR blaster on this device. That’s not exactly a surprise as the OnePlus Open includes it too. He also mentioned something called the ‘Rain Water Touch’ feature. That feature should enable more responsive touch input if you’re in the rain or something like that.
Having said that, the OnePlus 12 marketing campaign started yesterday. Since then, OnePlus shared a ton of details regarding the device. The company shared official images, plenty of them, and even announced that the phone is coming to global markets in January. That will likely happen on January 24.
OnePlus China President confirmed earlier that the OnePlus 12 will have the same cameras as the OnePlus Open. Well, at least as far as its rear cameras are concerned.
The OnePlus 12 will include a large battery, and immensely fast charging
In regards to wired charging, you can expect to get 100W charging, and a charger will be included in the box. A 5,400mAh battery was also mentioned in rumors. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will fuel this smartphone, while BOE’s X1 display will be used.
The OnePlus 12 will initially launch on December 5, so in about a week. That launch will occur in China.
