The news in the mobile market does not stop. Lately we have had great presentations and launches like the Samsung Galaxy S24. But today We will talk about the news at Oppo (OnePlus in the global market) and what is expected from its new terminal the Oppo K12. I'll tell you what we know so far about this mobile.
What the new Oppo K12 is expected to have
Another new phone from the Oppo brand, the K12 model is expected to come to Europe with the SM7550 processor (Snapdragon 7 3rd generation). We know this thanks to the leak that you can see in the popular Weibo platform.
We can also intuit that The new Oppo model arrives in Spain and Europe under the name OnePlus Nord CE 4 since the Oppo K11 model was called OnePlus Nord CE 3 in global markets.
Something else that we can foresee is that this mobile will arrive in the middle of the year, just as the previous model was presented, which was in June 2023. In addition, we know that the K12 model will improve on its predecessor so we can extrapolate that improvement by looking at the characteristics of the Oppo K11 (also called OnePlus Nord CE 3).
What does the previous model have, the Oppo K11
El Oppo K11 or OnePlus Nord CE 3 reached the global market in June last year with a 782 nano-millimeter Qualcomm Snapdragon 6G chip, a powerful and very fast processor.
The screen of the Nord CE 3 has a fluid AMOLED panel with a high refresh rate of 120Hz and supports HDR10+ technology, ensuring a smooth visual experience and colors in a high dynamic range. It also comes with a resolution of 2412 x 1080 pixels (FHD+).
It surprises with its triple camera on the back, which is made up of excellent sensors. It consists of a 50MP primary sensora whirlpool bath, 8MP ultra wide camera and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, it has a 16MP selfie camera with filter options to look great.
Furthermore, it stands out for its 5000 mAh battery with 80W fast charge which guarantees use for many hours and fast charging times to stay connected throughout the day.
Now that we know what the previous model is like, We can understand that the new Oppo K12 improvesApart from what we already know, the cameras and include some AI algorithm system to offer competition to the current high-end. Perhaps we will also see how extends battery charging speed up to 100W since it is the market trend. Let's see how this model will reach the global market.
It will arrive in Europe under the OnePlus brand
Oppo and OnePlus joined forces in 2021 aiming to stay strong together due to various reasons. One is the decline in mobile sales globally from 2021 to 2023. Another reason is to survive the lawsuit by Nokia against OPPO for patent infringements.
The patent war between OPPO and Nokia began in June 2021, when the licensing agreement between both parties expired and Nokia filed patent infringement lawsuits against OPPO in some European countries.
This conflict has affected Chinese brands such as OPPO, that They had to temporarily withdraw from the European market after losing lawsuits in some countries. For this reason, a product has not been launched on the OnePlus website in Germany for more than a year.
But this has changed recently, the OnePlus' return to the German market is almost official thanks to a series of new products spotted on its official German website. Furthermore, this return coincides with a rebound in the mobile phone market that forecasts year-on-year growth of 3,8% in 2024 after the fall experienced in 2023.
We will see what this terminal holds and the arrival of products from the Chinese company to Europe. Do you think we will see more OnePlus terminals in Spain soon? I'm almost sure so.
