The OnePlus 12 debuted yesterday and managed to become my favorite flagship that has come out recently. It actually feels that the company has finally started paying attention to what's important so it can deliver a true flagship experience. While the design might look similar to its predecessor, there are a lot of changes both inside and out that manage to make the phone stand out from the rest. Now, a teardown has revealed some serious cooling power that the phone has.
The latest teardown takes us through the entire OnePlus 12 being taken apart. The teardown process is not really different from what other phones go through, but it does show us how the phone looks. Expect a teardown skin from JerryRigEverything and brand soon.
Honestly, the insides of the OnePlus 12 look just as good as the outside. You can see all the components neatly placed together. However, the most interesting part about the phone is the fact that when you look at the vapor chamber that is used for cooling, you realize that the company was simply not kidding around. The phone has a massive vapor chamber, which should dramatically help the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in sustained performance.
Now, if you have been keeping up with our coverage of the OnePlus 12, you should know that the whole news about the vapor chamber being this big is not something that should come as a surprise. The company did promise that the phone would have a lot better cooling, and you can see that in the image above. This might not make much sense for people who are just going to pay attention to the day-to-day functioning of the device, but if you are a power user and want the best performance at all times, then this definitely is something that will help you. You can watch the teardown video below:
The OnePlus 12 is currently only available in China, but the phone is going to launch next month globally, and there is a possibility that we will also see a OnePlus 12R. So, if you are looking for a more affordable option, this is your chance.

Huawei has remained mum on the subject of building its own fabrication plants, and that is likely to avoid further trade restrictions from the U.S. However, a recent patent filing provides evidence that the former Chinese giant is going the extra mile to reduce dependency on foreign companies. The patent application date is June 2022, describing a process for improving wafer alignment and efficiency. It is titled ‘Wafer Processing Device and Wafer Processing Method’ and provides some evidence that Huawei wishes to build its chip plants, which can mean it may want to rid itself of SMIC too.
