Recently released, the OnePlus K12 is a new version of the OnePlus Nord CE 4. With the exception of the available memory and storage configurations, the characteristics are the same.

With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and a 6.7-inch, 120 Hz AMOLED display with a resolution of 2412 x 1080 and a peak brightness of 1100 nits, OnePlus has achieved an amazing price-performance ratio. A 50 MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS and an 8 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera are housed in the pill-shaped camera module on the back, which also has a 16 MP f/2.4 selfie camera located in a punch-hole. 30 frames per second and up to 240 frames per second in 720p slow motion can be achieved when recording 4K footage.

The hardware’s standout feature is the sizable 5500 mAh battery, which can receive up to 100 watts of USB-C power in order to charge from zero to one hundred percent in just 27 minutes. After four years of use, OnePlus claims the battery will still have 80% of its initial capacity. Based on Android 14, ColorOS 14 is preinstalled on the K12, and it supports NFC and infrared.
