OnePlus 12: A Periscope Camera and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor to be Included

The OnePlus 12 smartphone debut is still quite some time off, but online rumours about the upcoming flagship device have already begun to circulate. This OnePlus 5G phone will reportedly have a significant camera boost. Given that the OnePlus 12 will be the brand's premium smartphone, including Qualcomm's newest flagship chip makes sense.

OnePlus is testing a periscope camera

According to the tipster Digital Chat Station, OnePlus is testing a periscope camera on the "SM8650" model, which will employ the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC from Qualcomm. The business has yet to make this chipset public, but it will probably do so later this year. Because of the flagship chip and the likelihood that the business will include a periscope camera with its ultra-high-end flagship model, reports indicate this might be the OnePlus 12. The cited source needs to specify the name of the OnePlus phone precisely.

OnePlus 12 will make it possible to zoom in more precisely

Additionally, tipper Max Jambor has already asserted that the Chinese business has been trying periscope cameras for a considerable time. This will make it possible to zoom in more precisely. Similar features can be found on pricey smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Google Pixel 7 Pro, which offer 10x and 5x optical zoom, respectively.

When will the OnePlus 12 smartphone Launch?

If past launches are any indication, the OnePlus 12 will likely debut in the first few months 2024. Similar to this year's model, the 5,000mAh battery in the 5G smartphone is anticipated. With its flagship products, OnePlus always supports fast charging speeds, so the business would likely do the same. Recall that the OnePlus 11 is compatible with 100W fast charging technology.

The business probably includes a charger in the selling packaging with the 5G phone. To date, companies like Samsung, Apple, and others have ceased including a charger in the box, and OnePlus is one of the few remaining companies that still includes an adaptor. There have been no leaks concerning the OnePlus upcoming flagship phone's launch date.

The expected price of the OnePlus Nord 3 smartphone

According to the rumour mill, the OnePlus Nord 3 smartphone is reportedly on the way and will arrive in the upcoming weeks. It might make its debut in June of next month. The gadget's price is anticipated to be in the sub-Rs 30,000 range. It is expected to have a 5,000 mAh battery and MediaTek's Dimensity 9000 5G SoC under the hood. It may support 80W rapid charging technology.
