Earlier this month, OnePlus detailed both the main and telephoto cameras for the OnePlus 12. That confirmed that they’ll be the same as the ones on the OnePlus Open. Well, the ultrawide unit has now been confirmed as well. The OnePlus 12 will have the same cameras as the OnePlus Open.
The OnePlus 12 will have the same cameras as the OnePlus Open
This confirmation comes from Li Jie, the chief of the company’s operations in China. He shared a teaser showing off all three rear cameras that will be included on the OnePlus 12. That does confirm the same units as on the OnePlus Open and OPPO Find N3.
So, what are we looking at here? Well, the main camera will be a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 sensor. The ultrawide unit will be a 48-megapixel Sony IMX581 camera. The last one will be a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B camera, a periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
There are some things to note here, however. The OnePlus Open technically has the Sony LYT-T808 sensor. That is the Sony LYT-808, but made for foldables, so the arrangement is a bit different, but it’s the same sensor.
The periscope telephoto camera will be capable of a ‘6x lossless in-sensor zoom’
Also, the periscope telephoto camera will be capable of 3x optical zoom, but also ‘6x lossless in-sensor zoom’, just like the OnePlus Open. The 6x zoom pictures from the OnePlus Open look great, so the hopes are high.
As some of you may know, the Sony LYT-900 sensor was rumored for the OnePlus 12. OnePlus apparently decided to stick with the Sony LYT-808 to be able to provide a stable experience from the get-go, rather than balance things out via updates.
The OPPO Find X7 Pro, on the flip side, will include the Sony LYT-900. That device will launch after the OnePlus 12, though, so OPPO will have more time to tune things just the way they should be.
The OnePlus 12 will launch on December 5, in China. That will be its initial launch. The phone is coming to global markets in January, most likely on January 24.
