We’re finally here: the official presentation date of the next top of the range, the OnePlus 12. Apparently December 5 is the time designated by the company for the official launch of the flagship in China which could put all the others currently available in difficulty.
According to the latest rumors, the device would look a lot like its predecessor, which stands out especially on the back. In fact, the circular island reserved for the photographic sector should prevail once again, even if there should be some changes on the part of the engineers.
In fact, the company states that the smartphone should integrate a new button on the left to silence any alerts. In addition to this there should also be a modification to the antenna, totally redesigned which will offer improved gaming performance.
OnePlus 12, where the new antenna will be positioned and the first images
Based on some internal testing, it has been determined that the optimal location for gaming antennas is among the user’s indexes when the phone is held horizontally. However, the space is currently occupied by the Alert Slider on the OnePlus 11. By repositioning the Alert Slider on the opposite side of the phone, better gaming antennas can be implemented on the OnePlus 12.
This explains the reason for the new button and also the reason for the new antenna.
Other tests would also have shown that the signal of the antenna could be improved and quite a bit. According to what has been reported, there could be a significant upgrade 3 dB with 15% reduced gaming latency.
Moving on to a completely different topic, it seems that the first ones have arrived in the last few hours press images, those that show the device officially for the first time. Indeed, the changes are visible, especially regarding the repositioning of the button. As far as the cameras are concerned, there should be an extra lens while otherwise everything seems very similar to the OnePlus 11.
