OnePlus has officially launched the OnePlus 12, its latest flagship for 2024. After a few years of experimenting with mid-premium strategies, the company is returning to its roots with a performance-driven flagship that emphasizes speed, design, and user experience. With Hasselblad cameras, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and ultra-fast charging, the OnePlus 12 is built to compete with the very best.
Display and Design
OnePlus 12 comes with a 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED LTPO display featuring a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It delivers peak brightness of 4500 nits, making it one of the brightest displays on any phone in 2024. HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support enhance the multimedia experience, while Gorilla Glass Victus 2 ensures protection.
On the design front, the OnePlus 12 sports a curved display, slim bezels, and a polished aluminum frame. It comes in three premium finishes — Flowy Emerald, Silky Black, and Arctic White — each offering a distinct look and feel. The phone is also IP65 water and dust resistant.
Performance and Processor
At its core, the OnePlus 12 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with 12GB/16GB/24GB RAM options and storage up to 1TB UFS 4.0. OxygenOS optimizations ensure
fluidity, while a redesigned cooling system prevents thermal throttling during extended gaming.
This combination makes the phone ideal for power users, gamers, and multitaskers who need consistent flagship performance.
Hasselblad Camera System
OnePlus continues its collaboration with Hasselblad, and the results show. The OnePlus 12 houses a triple-camera system:
50MP Sony LYT-808 primary sensor with OIS
48MP ultra-wide camera
64MP telephoto camera with 3x periscope zoom
With Hasselblad color calibration, images look natural, vibrant, and detailed. The phone supports 8K video recording, advanced HDR, and improved night photography. A 32MP front camera ensures sharp selfies and smooth 4K video calls.
Battery and Charging
The OnePlus 12 packs a 5400mAh battery, larger than most rivals. It supports 100W SuperVOOC fast charging (wired) and 50W wireless charging, with 10W reverse charging as a bonus. OnePlus claims the device can charge from 0 to 100% in just 25 minutes.
Software and Features
Running on OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14, the phone brings a clean UI with minimal bloatware. AI features like smart photo editing, live translation, and intelligent task management have been added. OnePlus has committed to 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches.
The OnePlus 12 price in India starts at ₹64,999 for the base 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. The higher-end models with more RAM and storage are priced up to ₹79,999.
With this pricing, the OnePlus 12 directly takes on rivals like the Xiaomi 15 Pro, iQOO 12 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S24+ in the premium flagship category, offering a strong mix of performance, display quality, and camera upgrades.
Verdict
The OnePlus 12 is a bold comeback for OnePlus in the flagship race. With a gorgeous AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 power, Hasselblad-tuned cameras, and blazing-fast charging, it reclaims the “Never Settle” promise. For those who want premium specs at slightly lower pricing than Samsung or Apple, the OnePlus 12 is a serious contender in 2024.
