TheOnePlus 12will launch at the end of 2023, with a global release following in February 2024, according to one prominent tipster.
This claim comes from Yogesh Brar, who’s previously shared accurate reports about other upcoming Android phones. And it makes sense, as it would see the OnePlus 12 following the same release schedule as theOnePlus 11, which debuted in China in December 2022 but wasn’t available internationally until February 2023.
In this latest tweet, Brar also shared news about a plethora of other OnePlus phones, including the OnePlus Nord CE 3, the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro, and the much-anticipatedOnePlus foldable, which reports have suggested will be called theOnePlus Open, and which Brar says will launch in August.

Brar had previously leaked the specs of the OnePlus 12, claiming it will come with a 6.7-inch QHD+ display, with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, an upgraded set of cameras – including a 50MP main, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP periscopic telephoto lens – alongside a 5,000mAh battery and the same 100W fast-charging as the OnePlus 11.
Building on solid ground
Though the OnePlus 12 specs and the OnePlus 11 look similar on paper (if Brar is accurate in his predictions), there’s something to be said for building on a solid, tested platform.
As for OnePlus, the company has settled into a pleasant state of reliability. Its current flagship, the OnePlus 11, is currently one of thebest Android phonesavailable, and its first tablet – the OnePlus Pad – one of thebest Android tablets.
With the launch of theQualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3expected to give even more power and efficiency to Android devices such as these, all OnePlus has to do to succeed in my eyes is to stay the course, build solid and reliable products, and throw occasional curve balls, such as a rumored OnePlus Open foldable phone.
