Here are the important differences

OnePlus 12 is here! While Samsung focuses on software, OnePlus has developed the technical sheet of its new smartphone. Well, what’s the difference with the OnePlus 11? We take stock.

OnePlus returns with OnePlus 12Launched in December 2023 and arriving in France in January 2024. So, yes, OnePlus France has had its ups and downs, but it’s still there, after launching the OnePlus Open in 2023. Here, we offer you what changes in comparison. For OnePlus 11.

OnePlus 11 and 12 technical sheets

Big, heavy

Visually, the OnePlus 12 looks similar to its predecessor. However, it is slightly larger, with a screen ranging from 6.7 to 6.8 inches. Not a revolution, but it will be handy. Especially since the OnePlus 12 is 15g heavier (220 grams).

The design remains in the same vein, still with this circular camera system on the back. A bit of a new feature: the volume and power buttons are on the right side unlike the old model. And the famous warning cursor, always very practical, also changes sides.

For the design, OnePlus focused on the details. For example, the camera system is now surrounded by a metal ring, it looks very luxurious. And in terms of colors, there is something new with bright white in addition to the classic glossy black and tiled green.

In terms of durability, we go up a notch with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the OnePlus 12, which is stronger than the OnePlus 11’s Gorilla Glass 7. And for water and dust resistance, we go to IP65, against IP64 for the old one. By default, the model is less afraid of water jets.

The vibration motor on the OnePlus 11, already not bad, on the OnePlus 12 “Turbo” Not a revolution, but it still improves the user experience, especially for gamers or typing.

Boosted brightness

The screen is where there is a big leap. We move up to 6.8 inches and maximum brightness now reaches 4,500 nits at local peak, compared to 1,600 nits normally and just 800 nits on the OnePlus 11. That’s a big improvement, especially for use in full sun.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 12 has Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (with 12 or 16 GB LPDDR5X), while the OnePlus 11 has Gen 2. Qualcomm has clearly done a better job with significantly better performance. It remains to be seen whether it will actually be used. There is also Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Additionally, with a USB 3.2 port, you can benefit from high wired speeds. Finally, there is an infrared transmitter for controlling your television, for example.

In terms of photography, we have three cameras on the back, together 3x zoom lens and the Hasselblad brand. The main sensor is the new Sony LYT-808 (50 megapixels, 1/1.4″ sensor and f/1.6 lens), which might be a nice surprise behind Sony’s one-inch sensor. The ultra wide-angle camera (Sony IMX581, 48 megapixels) looks the same as the OnePlus 11, but the biggest new thing is that this camera (Omnivision OV64B, f/2.2 optics) also does x3 zoom (and 6x cropping). . Macro You can shoot 8K video at 24 FPS, but you can also shoot Full HD slow motion at 480 FPS.

The battery has grown to 5,400 mAh (compared to 5,000 mAh for the OnePlus 11) and it recharges extremely fast with 100 W. At 26 minutes, we are back to 100%. And, a big return after his notable absence on OP11: We now have fast wireless charging up to 50 WWith a special OnePlus charger.

Finally, OnePlus has not changed its update policy. The OnePlus 12 comes with Android 14 (OxygenOS interface) and will have four years of updates.

So, OnePlus 11 or OnePlus 12?

As you can see, OnePlus doesn’t seem to have rested on its laurels. They refined the already successful OnePlus 11. But does it justify the change if you already have 11? No. However, depending on the price difference, the OnePlus 12 could be interesting for its screen and its wireless charging, but also for the famous x3 zoom.

In terms of pricing, OnePlus 12 is 969 euros (12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage) or 1099 euros (16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage). Therefore, the price is increasing rapidly, being 849 euros (8 and 128 GB) and 919 euros (16 and 256 GB). Certainly, the amount of RAM and storage has increased, but The original price is 120 euros higher. Obviously, these are the marketing rates and promotions that should be looked at.
