We’re very impressed by the OnePlus 12, which has now launched in China, and we hoped that it would be getting a UK and US release in the not-too-distant future. And now OnePlus has promised just that, confirming that the phone will be coming to both markets in early 2024. OnePlus hasn’t committed to a definite date just yet, but rumours have suggested 24 January – which is interesting timing if true, as that’s a week after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24. OnePlus says that the phone will debut “along with other products”, one of which may be the rumoured OnePlus 12R. T3.com
