The OnePlus 12 sports a 6.82-inch curved 2K OLED ProXDR display with a resolution of 3168×1440 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The display supports LTPO technology, which dynamically adjusts the refresh rate according to the content and saves battery life.

The OnePlus 12 is the result of a long-term partnership between OnePlus and Hasselblad, the legendary Swedish camera maker.
