OnePlus 12T twin launches with up to 24GB RAM, beefy battery & more

The OnePlus 12T twin has just arrived the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro. This smartphone launched in China, as part of OnePlus’ latest press event. This phone will almost certainly be relaunched as the OnePlus 12T in global markets.

The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro has a familiar design

As you can see in the provided images, this phone has a recognizable OnePlus design. It has a curved display on the front, with a centered display camera hole, and very thin bezels. All of its physical buttons are included on the right side, while the alert slider sits on the left.

There are three cameras included on the back, all of which are part of a circular camera island. OnePlus’ logo is centered on the back, and the phone has rounded corners.

There is a 6.78-inch 2780 x 1264 8T LTPO AMOLED display in use here. That panel’s refresh rate goes up to 120Hz, while the peak brightness is 4,500 nits, in theory. This panel also has a high-frequency PWM dimming (2,160Hz), and a 360Hz touch sampling rate. Dolby Vision is also supported, while the panel is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Qualcomm’s most powerful SoC is used, and up to 24GB of RAM

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC fuels the device. Variants with 12GB, 16GB, and 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM are on offer. Those three models come with 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB of UFS 4.0 flash storage.

OnePlus also included a 6,100mAh battery inside of this smartphone. The company refers to this battery as a ‘Glacier Battery’. It has a 3% reduction in volume. 100W SuperVOOC charging is also supported here, and it can fully charge the battery in only 36 minutes.

OnePlus also talked about battery health. OnePlus’ Glacier Battery is said to have a battery level greater than or equal to 80% after four years of use. That’s not bad at all considering 100W charging is in use.

Three cameras sit on the back, while the device is IP65 certified

A 50-megapixel main camera (Sony’s IMX890 sensor, f/1.8 aperture, OIS) is in use here. An 8-megapixel ultrawide camera (Sony’s IMX355 sensor, f/2.2 aperture) also sits on the back. The third camera on the back is a 2-megapixel macro unit (Howe OV02B sensor, f/2.4 aperture). On the front, you’ll find a 16-megapixel camera (Samsung S5K3P9 sensor, f/2.4 aperture).

The phone comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner, and an infrared sensor too. It has stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support. The phone is IP65 certified for dust and splash resistance. It supports Bluetooth 5.4, and the same goes for Wi-Fi 7.

The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro comes in variants with different backplates

Android 14 comes pre-installed on the device, with ColorOS 14.1. There are two SIM card slots included here, both are of the nano SIM variety. The device comes in Titanium Silver (glass back), Green (vegan leather back), and Ceramic White (ceramic back) variants.

The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro measures 163.3 x 75.27 x 8.85mm (glass) / 8.95mm (leather) / 8.69mm (ceramic). Those three variants weigh 212 grams, 207 grams, and 225 grams, respectively.

The phone’s pricing in China starts at CNY3,199 ($440), while the most expensive model will set you back CNY4,699 ($646). The OnePlus 12T is expected to arrive later this year, though it probably won’t be available in a 24GB RAM model.
