The GoPro Hero 12 Black's aesthetics are expected to exhibit subtle refinements compared to its predecessor, maintaining the compact dimensions and design that the Hero 11 Black showcased. One noticeable distinction lies in the body material, which is adorned with delicate specks of blue, distinguishing it from the plain black of its predecessor. According to reports, the action camera will retain the 2.27-inch main rear display and a 1.4-inch front screen.
Reportedly, the GoPro Hero 12 Black will boast a 27MP 1/1.9-inch camera sensor, akin to its forerunner. Video screen grabs will be limited to 24.7MP, allowing users to capture in 8 and 10-bit settings. The device supports video recording up to 5.3K at 60fps, accompanied by HDR capabilities. It packs an array of features, including HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization, Horizon Lock, HyperView, HyperSmooth AutoBoost, and more.
The GoPro Hero 12 Black is set to harness the energy from the same 1,720mAh Enduro battery, offering slightly extended usage—up to 70 minutes when recording at 5.3K and 60fps, compared to its predecessor. FHD video shooting can endure up to 2.5 hours.
Mark your calendars for September 13 as the anticipated release date for the GoPro Hero 12 Black, with an estimated price tag of EUR 449. This impending launch promises to usher in a new era of capturing adventures and preserving memories.
