The OnePlus 12 is here to take the haptics crown: iPhones better watch out!

OnePlus already had a good thing going with the OnePlus 11 in terms of haptics, boasting some of the best in the game. However, the company has just announced the OnePlus 12, managing to one-up itself by offering an even more powerful and comprehensive vibration motor named the ‘Bionic Vibration Motor Turbo.’Keep in mind, as this was the OnePlus 12’s launch for the Chinese market only, there might be some rough translation from the official presentation, so the silly name might not be as funny-sounding in reality. But enough about the name; let’s discuss why this is a significant development!

The OnePlus 11 had one of the best haptics to grace an Android phone, but it still felt like it had some way to go before reaching the levels Apple’s TapTic engine achieves in iPhones. However, that is no longer the case, as the new vibration motor inside the OnePlus 12 is even faster and more accurate, surpassing what Apple offers in its phones!

Specifically, the Bionic Vibration Motor Turbo boasts a higher vibration volume and bandwidth, as well as a faster start and stop speed. The primary reason for this level of performance seems to be the new magnetic material called N54, an upgrade from the N52 housed inside the OnePlus 11, in combination with the latest CSA motor.
