It was revealed late last month that there won’t be a OnePlus 9T phone. While that appears to be true, it turns out there is one more OnePlus 9 phone coming, and a new report has revealed it will launch as the OnePlus 9 RT.
OnePlus 9 RT
Yes, the OnePlus 9R, the new addition to OnePlus’s numbered series is getting the T-treatment. The info comes from Android Central and they say the phone will be launching in October along with a new version of OxygenOS.
The OnePlus 9 RT will share most of its specifications with the OnePlus 9R which in itself shares a lot of its specifications with the OnePlus 8T. So it will have a 6.55-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a 4500mAh battery capacity, and 65W fast charging.
The upgrades include a new 50MP primary sensor, the same one on the OnePlus Nord 2, and which was originally borrowed from the OnePlus 9’s ultrawide angle camera. It has also been reported that the phone will feature a higher-binned version of the Snapdragon 870 which means Qualcomm has another Snapdragon 800 series chipset launching soon. We don’t know what it will be called but our guess is Snapdragon 870+ or Snapdragon 875.
The source reiterates that the OnePlus 9 RT will be the only numbered flagship launching in the second half of the year. The phone will also be exclusive to India and China.
OxygenOS 12
The software is also something to look forward to as the phone will be the first to launch with OxygenOS 12. There are lots of interesting new features that will come along with the new software such as a theme store; a private safe for keeping sensitive data including documents, videos, and photos; and a redesigned settings page similar to what you will find on the OnePlus Nord 2 which runs OxygenOS 11.3.
Other features mentioned are a privacy setting that alerts you when an app accesses your clipboard and floating windows that can be resized. One feature OxygenOS 12 won’t get is the new Material You design. Familiar features such as Zen Mode, Scout, and Shelf will return.
OnePlus is expected to roll out a closed beta of OxygenOS 12 for testers soon. It should have been released but it is trying to fix several bugs hence the delay.
Two New Nord Phones
OnePlus also has two new Nord phones scheduled to arrive before the end of the year. At the moment, we can only think of a successor to the OnePlus Nord N10 which should launch as the Nord N20. We are eager to know what the other Nord phone is.
