The OnePlus 12 is the company’s upcoming flagship, and its camera setup just got detailed, again. We’ve seen similar rumors before, but this time around they’re coming from a very trusted source.

The OnePlus 12 camera setup gets detailed again, periscope camera will be included

Digital Chat Station, a well-known Chinese tipster, shared the details. A 50-megapixel main camera will be included. That will be Sony’s IMX9xx 1/1.4-inch sensor. That camera will offer OIS support, of course.

A 50-megapixel ultrawide camera will also be included, but we still don’t know the details regarding it. The third camera on the back will be a 64-megapixel unit from OmniVision. It will be the OV64B sensor. That camera will offer 3x optical zoom, and it will be a periscope camera. Truth be said, we’re expecting a higher level of optical zoom, this seems to be a bit weird.

Regular telephoto cameras do offer 3x optical zoom. Not all of them, but many of them do, especially on flagship smartphones. Considering this will be a periscope camera, you’ll be able to capture far-away objects, likely up to 80-100x. Still, getting a 5x or 10x optical zoom in addition to digital zoom for far away objects would be ideal. We’ll see.

Hasselblad will be a part of the picture too

On top of everything, Hasselblad will be a part of the offering as well. The company will help OnePlus optimize these cameras, as it did in the past. We’ll also get Hasselblad’s color tuning here.

As for the rest of the OnePlus 12’s specs, we’ll most of them are not difficult to guess. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will fuel the phone, while a 6.7-inch QHD+ curved AMOLED display is expected too. That will be a 120Hz panel.

OnePlus will likely offer up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM inside the OnePlus 12. UFS 4.0 flash storage will also be on offer here. Android 14 will come pre-installed on the phone, along with OxygenOS 14.

In regards to the battery, we’re still not sure what will the capacity be, but we’ll get immensely fast charging on the phone. 100W or 120W charging is expected, and let’s hope that OnePlus will also include 50W wireless charging.
