Renders of the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the OnePlus 12 next to each other.

OnePlus just marked its 10th anniversary by announcing the OnePlus 12 earlier this month , marking the company's 11th flagship series (the 4 was skipped for cultural reasons). While the phone has yet to venture outside of China, we're already expecting it to cause strong undulation in the market thanks to its top-notch hardware, superfast wired and wireless charging, and a remarkable display.
