OnePlus continues its quest to become a major player in the phone market with a sneak peek at its upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 12.

The OnePlus 12 now features a green design called Flowy Emerald, inspired by China's Dart River. The design also includes a relocated Alert Slider.

"Based on internal testing, it has been determined that the optimal position for gaming antennas is between the user's index fingers when the phone is held in landscape orientation," the company wrote in an email. "However, the space is currently occupied by the Alert Slider on the OnePlus 11. Moving the Alert Slider to the other side of the phone will allow for better gaming antennas on the OnePlus 12."

With the slider moved, signal strength naturally isn’t evenly distributed across the phone. OnePlus has addressed this with what it calls Ultra-compact Full-band antenna technology, which also integrates the Alert Slider into the antenna itself. This provides better balance and, the company claims, an extra 3dB of antenna signal and a 15 percent reduction in gaming latency.
