OnePlus 12 leaks point to upgrades for the battery and camera setup

If you're eagerly awaiting the arrival of the OnePlus 12, then you shouldn't have much longer to wait: the phone is expected to break cover before the end of the year, and we've now got some more leaked information on exactly what's coming.

Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station (via GSMArena) notes that the phone has made an appearance at the relevant Chinese regulator, apparently confirming that the device is going to come with 100W wired charging – matching the OnePlus 11.

There will be improvements though, it seems: 50W wireless charging is set to be added, while the battery capacity is said to be going up from 5,000mAh on the OnePlus 11 to 5,400mAh on the OnePlus 12. Hopefully, that means better battery life too.

These specs have actually been mentioned before, as this phone has been leaked quite extensively – but the more they get mentioned in the run up to the launch, the more certain we can be that this unofficial information is accurate.

Camera quality

The rear camera setup on the OnePlus 12 has also been teased this week, with Li Jie Louis, the president of OnePlus in China, posting some sample shots to social media (via 9to5Google). We don't get any information regarding specs, but these images look good – especially the way they handle shadow.

Another post from OnePlus itself confirms that the OnePlus 12 is going to come with a new Sony Lytia camera sensor, although no further details are given. It's thought that the sensor will be an upgrade of some kind over the one in the OnePlus Open foldable.

In our OnePlus Open review, we talked about the "excellent cameras" that it carries with it – the best cameras we've seen on a foldable phone in fact, though you do have to put up with a rather large camera bump in return.

All should be revealed before the end of 2023, with an international launch outside of China expected to come early in 2024. It's very likely that we'll see more leaks and official teasers from OnePlus before then.

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
