Oppo recently unveiled the Oppo K12 Plus in China. The device slightly differs from the Oppo K12, which debuted in the first half of this year in the home market. Apart from the K12 and K12 Plus, the series has an entry-level model called the Oppo K12x. For those unaware, Oppo also offers a K12x with the Dimensity 6300 chip in India and select other markets. However, the K12x available in China has the Snapdragon 695 chip onboard.

Currently, the K12x, K12, and K12 Plus are priced at 1,099 Yuan (~$155), 1,899 Yuan (~$270), and 1,999 Yuan (~$280), respectively, in China. The K12x and K12 have already been rebranded as OnePlus Nord CE models in the global market. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the K12 Plus will also make its debut as a OnePlus phone globally. Here is what the K12 series offers to the Chinese market.

Oppo is set to launch the Find X8 series devices this month. However, that’s not the only new product lineup the company will launch this month. The mid-range Oppo K12 Plus will be launched on October 12, positioned as a device that focuses on battery life and performance.

The Oppo K12 was launched in April this year with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. The upcoming phone has already appeared on Geekbench with a single and multi-core score of 744 and 2573 respectively.

Oppo K12 Plus specifications:

The phone packs a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display on the front and a 6400 mAh battery inside, which supports 80W fast charging. However, despite packing a massive battery, the phone maintains a sleek form factor, measuring 162.47×75.33×8.37mm and weighing only 193 grams.

While the company hasn’t revealed much about the phone yet, it was previously rumored to equip the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, the same chip that is used by the standard model. However, the moniker suggests that there could be a performance improvement, which can be achieved with better thermal management and a different software tuning. Nonetheless, nothing is concrete about it, and readers should take it with a pinch of salt.

The overall design language of the Plus model is also expected to resemble the one the company released in April this year. To give you a clearer picture of what to expect, here’s a rundown of the Oppo K12‘s specifications.

The K12’s display reaches a peak brightness of 1100 nits and has an FHD+ resolution, which translates into a pixel density of 394ppi. This phone packs UFS 3.1 fast storage chips and comes in a total of three storage and memory configurations: 256GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 12GB RAM, and 512GB 12GB RAM.

Speaking of cameras, the K12 packs a 50MP + 8MP dual camera setup on the back, paired with a 16MP selfie shooter.

When it comes to powering up the device, it supports 100W wired fast charging, so users can expect a similar (if not faster) charging speed with the Plus model.

Oppo is reportedly working on a new K-series phone for the Chinese market. Rumor has it that the upcoming Oppo PKS110 smartphone, recently approved by China’s radio certification platform and spotted in Geekbench’s database, could be the upcoming Oppo K12 Plus. The same device has now appeared in TENAA’s database, revealing its entire specifications.

According to the K12 Plus’ TENAA listing, it features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display that produces an FHD+ resolution. The listing does not mention it, but it appears that the screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate. It will feature an in-screen fingerprint sensor for security.

The listing indicates that a 2.4GHz octa-core chip powers the Oppo K12 Plus. Its Geekbench listing has already revealed that it features the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. The handset is expected to arrive in 8 GB / 12 GB RAM variants and 256 GB / 512 GB storage options in China. The device is expected to pack a 6,400mAh battery (typical value) with 80W charging. However, the TENAA only mentions the rated value of the battery as 6,220mAh.

The Oppo K12 Plus will have a 16-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. On the back, it has a 50-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The phone is expected to run on ColorOS 14-based Android 14. The device will measure 162.47 x 75.33 x 8.37 mm and weigh 193 grams. The images of the phone have not appeared in TENAA’s database. However, an Oppo executive has already shared an official image of the phone to showcase the K12 Plus’ rear design. The phone’s design is consistent with other K-series phones announced earlier this year.

To recall, the Oppo K12 and K12x released in China earlier this year were rebadged as the OnePlus Nord CE 4 and the Nord CE 4 Lite globally. At present, there is no clarity on whether there will be a K12 Plus’ renamed version for the global market.

There have been rumors that Oppo is working on a new K-series phone for the Chinese market. Initial reports claimed that the brand might be working on the K13 series. However, today’s leak from tipster Digital Chat Station indicates that the Oppo K12 Plus will be the name of the upcoming K-series phone. This moniker implies that it will rank higher than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 powered Oppo K12, which made its debut in April of this year.

Oppo K12 Plus key specifications leaked

According to the tipster, the upcoming Oppo K12 Plus’ design will be similar to the Oppo K12. It will have a flat display on the front and most likely a vertical camera unit on the back, like the K12. The K12 has been available in shades like Celadon Marble and Dark Chrome. DCS claims that the K12 Plus will also come in a white option.

Under the hood, the Oppo K12 Plus will have the Snapdragon 7 series chipset and a massive 6,400mAh battery. Recently, an Oppo smartphone with model number PKS110 was spotted in the database of the Geekbench benchmarking platform. The listing revealed that the device is equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 14.

Likely, the Oppo PKS110 phone could be the forthcoming Oppo K12 Plus. According to a recent report, the device might feature an OLED FHD+ screen, a 50-megapixel primary camera, and support for 80W rapid charging.

There is no official confirmation about the Oppo K12 Plus’ existence. However, now that the rumor mill is actively leaking its details, it may go official by the end of this month in China.

To recall, the Oppo K12 was a rebranded version of the OnePlus Nord CE 4, whereas the K12x (Chinese edition) was a repackaged edition of the Nord CE 4 Lite. Hence, there is a possibility that the K12 Plus may get rebranded as a Nord CE series phone in the global market.
