OnePlus 12 design revealed ahead of announcement

OnePlus will be officially announcing the OnePlus 12 at an event on the 5th of December, 2023. This is according to a post on the company's Weibo page in which they also revealed the design of the upcoming phone.

At first glance, the OnePlus 12 doesn't look too different from its predecessor, the OnePlus 11. There are some minor revisions and changes, which includes moving the Alert Slider to the left of the phone along an integrated antenna, which according to OnePlus will help improve the gaming experience (presumably through a better connection).

The renders of the phone also suggest that the OnePlus 12 could feature a textured back, but other than that, it looks pretty much like the OnePlus 11 with the Hasselblad branding on its camera module. For those who own the OnePlus 11 or even OnePlus 10, we're not sure if it might be worth upgrading to the OnePlus 12.

So far based on the specs the main upgrade here will be on the chipset, where it will utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It will also come with a newer and brighter display courtesy of OnePlus' partnership with BOE, but otherwise there's really nothing particularly outstanding on paper.
