The OnePlus 12 leaks have escalated recently, and now we have the first official look at the phone from the company. Available in three colors, white, black, and green, the OnePlus 12 made a design change from what we last saw on the OnePlus 11. The alert slider has been moved to the other side.
The alert slider will now be on the phone’s left side when it’s usually on the right. OnePlus did this to accommodate the antenna signal performance:
The most prominent design change on the OnePlus 12 is to switch the Alert Slider to the left-hand side of the phone, which allows OnePlus to introduce a new integrated antenna and the Alert Slider solution on the new device to deliver an enhanced antenna performance for gaming.
The repositioning of the Alert Slider presents a challenge in ensuring optimal antenna signal strength on the same side of the phone. To tackle this issue, OnePlus utilizes Ultra-compact Full-band Antenna technology and industry-first Alert Slider Antenna Integration technology to minimize the space occupied by the Alert Slider to the greatest extent possible. As a result, a balance between better antenna signal performance and the presence of the Alert Slider is achieved on the OnePlus 12. According to the lab test data by OnePlus, the gaming antenna signal can be improved by 3dB, with the game latency reduced by 15%.
We expect to see the phone launch on December 5th in China and then stateside later on in the month. It’s supposed to have the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and 3x periscopic-telephoto camera.
