OnePlus revealed a comprehensive collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to introduce cutting-edge technologies to the upcoming flagship OnePlus 12 smartphone. This collaboration aims to leverage the full potential of Qualcomm Technologies’ highest-end mobile chips, promising an elevated user experience and setting new standards for all-around flagship smartphone performance.

The partnership brings the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform to the OnePlus 12 and incorporates personalized optimizations, including enhancements to OnePlus’ CPU-Vitalization, updated Qualcomm Game Quick Touch 2.0, and improved AI performance. These optimizations collectively bring intelligence, premium-tier performance, and an exceptionally smooth user experience to the new flagship device.

Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus, expressed excitement about continuing to use the latest Qualcomm Technologies chipset in the OnePlus 12. He also highlighted the expanded collaboration, emphasizing exploring the chipset’s full potential to achieve greater synergies and provide an unparalleled mobile experience for users.

Additionally, the OnePlus 12 becomes the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device approved as Snapdragon Spaces Ready, enabling developers to bring their XR (extended reality) ideas to life and explore the full potential of head-mounted AR.

The OnePlus 12 showcases deep architecture optimization, leveraging CPU-Vitalization to maximize Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s potential. This involves system-level arithmetic scheduling technology and microarchitecture disassembly to deliver outstanding performance with extended battery life. Collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies on L3/MPAM solutions and EAS (Energy Aware Scheduling) algorithm optimization extends the OnePlus 12’s battery life by up to 30 minutes.

The gaming experience on the OnePlus 12 receives a significant boost with comprehensive enhancements to touch control. Close collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies results in a 32% improvement in touch latency through Qualcomm Game Quick Touch 2.0, a Snapdragon Elite Gaming feature. These optimizations enhance touch rate stability, reducing occasional framerate fluctuations and touch loss during frame drops under high-demand gaming scenarios, making the gaming experience on the OnePlus 12 faster and smoother.

OnePlus and Qualcomm Technologies are also working together to develop a lightweight edge deployment solution for large AI models, gradually enabling large model capabilities on edge devices. This solution, powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, promises superior on-device computing capabilities for smart scenarios, including optimized SoC bandwidth allocation, intelligent retouching effects for locally stored images, and the activation of generative AI language models.

The OnePlus 12, powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, boasts impressive improvements in CPU and GPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform features the Qualcomm Kryo CPU, offering up to 30% improved performance and 20% more power efficiency, along with the integrated Qualcomm Adreno GPU, delivering up to 25% improved performance and power efficiency. Combined with the 4th Gen Hasselblad Camera for Mobile, featuring a new 64MP 3x periscope lens, and a stunning Flowy Emerald colorway, the OnePlus 12 is poised to provide users with a “Smooth Beyond Belief” experience in every aspect.
