OnePlus has had success with the OnePlus Open earlier this year and is now attempting to do the same with its latest flagship, the OnePlus 12. Of course, as many of you must already know, the company is known for its extensive expertise in charging technology and battery, needless to say, these two aspects are some of the strongest pros of the OnePlus 12.
Buyers of the OnePlus 12 will get extremely fast charging and a huge battery, so at least on paper, things look absolutely amazing when it comes to battery life and charging speed.
It is important to mention that the company is first launching the OnePlus 12 in the Chinese market, with a global launch coming soon. Why is this important? Well, because OnePlus’ flagship phones tend to have some small differences between markets, especially in the US market. For example, the OnePlus 11 came with 80W charging instead of 100W like in the rest of the world.
How much battery does the OnePlus 12 have?
OnePlus has been steadily increasing the battery capacity in the last few generations, and by a considerable margin. The OnePlus 10T came with a 4,800mAh internal battery, then the OnePlus 11 was upgraded with a 5,000mAh capacity. These are large batteries, but the OnePlus 12 surpasses them with its 5,400mAh battery!
Does the OnePlus 12 have better battery life?
The OnePlus 12 comes with a battery that is somehow even larger than the huge 5,000 mAh one inside the OnePlus 11. In fact, we’re talking about 5,400 mAh here, which simply leaves us in awe of how they managed to fit so much battery in such a thin phone!
OnePlus 12 Charging Speed
When it comes to wired charging, OnePlus has not introduced major updates in the last two generations. The OnePlus 12 comes with the same maximum charging speed of 100W that the OnePlus 11 had. OnePlus claims that this is enough power to boost the phone’s performance from 0 to 100% in …………………………..
Does the OnePlus 12 have wireless charging?
OnePlus has finally added wireless charging to its flagship phone with the OnePlus 12, and it can go up to 50W! To put this into context, the OnePlus 11 did not have wireless charging, neither did the OnePlus 10T.
Does the OnePlus 12 have reverse wireless charging?
Yes, the OnePlus 12 supports 10W wireless charging! This is quite fast for charging a pair of wireless headphones or another phone.
What charger does the OnePlus 12 use?
The Chinese version of the OnePlus 12 comes with a 100W Supervooc charger in the box, but the US version will likely come with an 80W equivalent, just like the previous generation. That said, the difference in how long it will take to charge the phone should be minimal.
To use the OnePlus 12’s 50W wireless charging, you need to get the OnePlus Airvooc 50W wireless charger. Other wireless chargers will still work but will only be able to charge the OnePlus 12 at a maximum of 15W.
Summary
As we are talking about a OnePlus flagship here, it is not surprising that the OnePlus 12 has fast 100W charging. This year, OnePlus also added a feature that was sorely missing in its last generation series, wireless charging, and it’s super fast at 50W.
The company also made a significant leap in the battery capacity department, upgrading to a 5,400mAh battery, the largest installed in a OnePlus phone so far. Paired with the power-efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 from Qualcomm, this should mean a noticeable increase in battery life.
