OnePlus has begun to reveal details about its forthcoming flagship, the OnePlus 12, as part of a promotional rollout reported by iXBT via a dedicated portal. The early materials outline a device that emphasizes connectivity and smart home integration, highlighting an infrared port paired with a multifunctional NFC module that spreads across the entire handset. This setup would enable users to control various home appliances directly from the OnePlus 12, turning the phone into a centralized command hub for everyday tasks.
Promotional posters also suggest a feature described as “holographic sound.” This technology is said to deliver elevated audio quality while enabling the phone to distinguish between sounds from different sources. In practical terms, users could hear navigation prompts clearly in the foreground while background music continues to play, rather than having one source muted to accommodate the other.
In addition to these capabilities, the OnePlus 12 is expected to sport dual stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support, which promise immersive sound with a sense of space and realism. The company also touts a sophisticated AAC Bionic Vibration Motor Turbo that adapts haptic feedback to on-screen actions and audio cues, enhancing the tactile experience of using the phone.
Further hardware highlights include a display claimed to be among the brightest on the market, with a peak brightness around 4500 nits and Dolby Vision compatibility for vivid color and dynamic range. Connectivity is set to include Bluetooth 5.4 and a fast USB 3.2 Gen1 interface, while the body is designed to meet IP65 standards for protection against dust and water. The manufacturer emphasizes a battery experience that aims to push past conventional expectations, suggesting autonomy well beyond typical flagship benchmarks.
The official OnePlus 12 presentation is scheduled to occur in China on December 5, with expectations that the device will be showcased outside the region in January. Earlier industry chatter has also touched on the design and features of a competing new Samsung smartphone, indicating a flurry of activity and anticipation around high-end Android flagships in the near term.
