In less than 24 hours, OnePlus is set to captivate the international market with the global debut of its latest flagship, the OnePlus 12. Initially announced for the Chinese market in December, the spotlight is now on the smartphone’s revolutionary camera system as the company releases comprehensive details in a recent press release.

Main Camera Marvel: Sony LYT-808 Takes Center Stage

The OnePlus 12 boasts an industry-first customized Sony LYT-808 main camera featuring a remarkable 1/1.4-inch sensor. This substantial sensor size facilitates an impressive 50% increase in light absorption compared to its predecessor, the IMX890 main sensor used in the OnePlus 11. The result? Exceptional performance in challenging low-light and back-lit conditions, promising users “remarkable details and clarity.” Notably, a specialized filter has been integrated to combat red glare and artifacts.

Telephoto Triumph: Zooming into the Future

The device introduces a 64MP periscope telephoto camera, a significant upgrade in zoom capabilities. With 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and an unprecedented 120x “Hybrid Zoom,” OnePlus utilizes the OmniVision OV64B 1/2-inch sensor with an f/2.6 aperture. This sensor, 76% larger than its predecessor (IMX709 in OnePlus 11), empowers users to capture “stunning photos at any distance.”
