According to the known Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, on Weibo, OnePlus and Realme are set to exclusively use Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets in their upcoming smartphones.
As reported, the OnePlus 12 will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the OnePlus 12R and Nord 4 or Nord 5 may use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipsets.
Due to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s shift to TSMC’s 4nm N4P process, concerns have been raised about its potential cost increase. Despite this move, some manufacturers may still opt for MediaTek’s Dimensity chips for their flagship models, prioritizing performance over cost.
OnePlus 12:
Digital Chat Station, a popular tipster, recently revealed some details about the OnePlus 12 series’ engineering prototype. The leakster claims to have seen the flagship engineering model in production.
On the front of the device is a centered single-hole curved screen, and on the back is a large circular camera module with a metallic scale ring. In addition to substantial main and periscope lenses, the design includes a quad-camera system covering a variety of focal lengths.
Additionally, the prototype features a metal middle frame and a super-thin optical fingerprint scanner. Furthermore, the device has a large X-axis motor and an efficient heat dissipation area, which keeps it cool during intense use.
Specs:
OnePlus’ upcoming phone will feature a 2K curved OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate developed using a new domestic substrate. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be used in the device and two RAM options are available: 16GB and 24GB.
OnePlus 12’s rear camera setup will include a 50MP IMX9xx main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 64MP 3X periscope telephoto lens. The tipster had previously confirmed that Sony IMX9xx sensors would be used in the camera system, reinforcing its authenticity.
There is a 5400mAh battery inside the phone, which supports 100W wired fast charging. Wireless fast charging is also supported by the device, which promises 50W of power.
