OnePlus 12 launch confirmed and it's sooner than we thought
The new Android phone is coming before the end of the year
When it comes to the Android phone market, competition is more fierce than ever before. Users are blessed with devices from classic manufacturers and more modern brands alike, all offering fantastic specs for your budget.
One of the most long-standing brands in the market right now is OnePlus. Once the plucky upstarts of the community, these devices are now some of the most revered on the market. In fact, the brand are celebrating their tenth anniversary on the 4th of December this year – and that's the date when they will launch their new flagship device.
That's called the OnePlus 12, and will take the baton from the current generation OnePlus 11. That device was widely regarded as one of the strongest options available, and the new variant looks set to push that even further.
The timing of the release is interesting, though. It's around a month earlier than their handsets have traditionally. That makes sense to tie in with the anniversary celebrations, but it could change the release schedule moving forward.
It's also worth mentioning that this is expected to be a launch date in the Chinese market. While there is no confirmation, it's likely that the wider global launch date will come thereafter – usually around a month after the Asian launch date.
Regardless, with the launch date just a fortnight away, we won't have to wait long until we can find out.
