We know the OnePlus 12 will be announced on December 4, and we now know the hues it will be available in – and there’s also speculation of a more retro-inspired finish for the casing making a comeback.
OnePlus has announced that the forthcoming flagship will be available in black, green, and white hues on Chinese social media site Weibo (via Notebookcheck), with black and green returning from the OnePlus 11 launched earlier this year.
“The three colors we have carefully polished are not only the three most popular colors among users, but they are also gifts about time and growth,” OnePlus writes in its article (via Google Translate, which may be inaccurate).
There haven’t been many official confirmations regarding this phone, but the colors are now one of them, as is the launch date: the phone will be available in China on December 4th, with a global release expected early in 2024.
Is the wood-effect casing making a comeback?
Meanwhile, serial leaker Digital Chat Station has resorted to Weibo to suggest a wood grain texture for the OnePlus 12’s rear – something we previously saw with the OnePlus One back in 2014.
The wood effect was offered as a changeable back cover for the first OnePlus phone. It’s unclear whether OnePlus will do this again, or if it will be a more standard case with the wooden effect.
Nonetheless, it appears to be an homage to OnePlus’ tenth anniversary, and it provides fans with another finish option for the OnePlus phone. Everything will be revealed in a week and a half, and we will, of course, be covering the event live.
In terms of additional OnePlus 12 rumors, it appears that the handset will have a familiar rear camera array, improved dust and water resistance, and a higher battery capacity than its immediate predecessor.
