The OnePlus 12 is the hottest new Android flagship to launch in China and local media have already begun testing the device in every imaginable way, including a complete teardown performed by the WekiHome team. The full video details the complex structures inside the new OnePlus flagship and gives us a closet look at all of the OnePlus 12’s key components.
The process starts by removing the SIM tray and heating up the back glass until the adhesive is ready to be pried off. The motherboard and the rest of the key components are hidden behind a three-piece plastic cover which also incorporates the wireless charging pad and NFC antenna as well as the LED flash and ambient light sensor.

We then see the three camera sensors headlined by Sony’s 50MP dual-layer stacked Lytia 808 sensor and the 70mm equivalent 64 MP telephoto periscope module with 3x optical zoom and OIS. The motherboard also features a dual-stacked design with a special copper foil aiding the heat dissipation process around the chipset.
