OnePlus launched the OnePlus 9R in India at the end of March. The smartphone went on sale a few weeks later in April. Almost 10 months after its announcement in the country, the brand has now confirmed to discontinue the product.

OnePlus 9R

Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus is set to launch the OnePlus 9RT in India on January 14. Ahead of that, the firm has revealed its plans to discontinue the older OnePlus 9R in the region.

The company says that the handset will continue to sell in the country until stocks last. It is currently listed at ₹39,999 and ₹43,999 for the 8GB + 128GB and the 12GB + 256GB memory configurations respectively on Amazon. The eCommerce giant is offering a ₹3,000 discount coupon, in addition to bank discounts.

The OnePlus 9RT is expected to cost the same as the OnePlus 9R. Hence, it makes sense for the brand to stop selling the aged model.

The upcoming OnePlus 9RT brings certain updated features like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, a 50MP primary camera, and a larger 6.62-inch display. It will compete against the likes of Xiaomi 11T Pro and Realme GT2, which are expected to debut in the region later.

Hence, if you were planning to buy the OnePlus 9R in India, then we would suggest you wait for the OnePlus 9RT to go on sale in the coming days.
