It has HDR10+ support and a peak brightness of 1300 nits. The phone boasts protection of Corning Gorilla Glass. The screen also doubles up as an in-display fingerprint scanner.

OnePlus may launch the OnePlus 9RT in the Indian market soon as the tipster Yogesh Brar has learned from a distribution channel that the company will discontinue a few of its phones soon.

OnePlus may discontinue the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9R, and OnePlus 8T soon after the OnePlus 9RT’s Indian arrival and the firm seems to be already gearing up for it. The tipster said that the 9RT’s arrival could be the primary reason behind the discounted price of some of the existing OnePlus models.

For those who don’t know, the OnePlus 9 is currently selling for ₹36,999(~$497) in India after clubbing the discount coupon and bank cards. Originally, the phone costs ₹49,999(~$671). The OnePlus 9R costs ₹39,999(~$537) and it is also available at a cheaper price after clubbing the same discounts.

As per the distribution network OnePlus is planning to discontinue 8T, 9R and vanilla 9 as soon as 9RT is launched. This could be the case behind all these sudden discounts across the lineup.
Haven't seen OnePlus products to come done in price within 6-8 months of launch.

While we take the discontinuance with a grain of salt, OnePlus may actually be preparing to introduce the OnePlus 9RT in the future months.

As for now, OnePlus China plans to unveil its flagship OnePlus 10 series next month. Recently, the phones were touted to launch in early January 2022. Notably, it will be a China launch and we’re expected to see plenty of upgrades over the predecessors. The major upgrades will be to the design and internals.

The series will be employing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC will have a unique camera module. It was recently touted to come with 80W fast charging support. The phones are expected to run on Android 12 OS out of the box.

OnePlus expects global sales to hit 10 million units by the end of 2021

OnePlus today launched the OnePlus 9RT. The phone is the successor to the OnePlus 9R that was released earlier this year and promises multiple meaningful upgrades. But prior to talking about the phone in the event, OnePlus shed a light on its sales figures for this year, and they were nothing short of surprising.

As per OnePlus founder Liu Zuohu, OnePlus has recorded a year-on-year growth of 257% in global smartphone sales in the past 6 months, or in the first half of 2021. China also recorded similar increase in the number of shipments with a growth rate of 124% compared to last year.

The company exhibited the highest growth in the US and in European markets while continuing to have the largest share of the high-end mobile phone market in India.

But perhaps the most exciting bit was that OnePlus is expected to hit 10 million units in terms of global sales, or at least that’s what Liu feels so.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise though considering OnePlus has been steadily integrating its resources with Oppo and is keen on expanding its smartphone portfolio further than ever before.

While OnePlus’ move to ColorOS and the ‘ditching’ of the fan-favorite OxygenOS hasn’t been well-received, the company has promised improved experience and better software support. Its latest flagship series comprised of the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and the OnePlus 9R all come pre-installed with ColorOS-based OxygenOS. But it remains to be seen if the consumers are willing to accept that.

Back in May, OnePlus had appointed Li Kaixin, former VP of Huawei Mobile China, as the Vice President of OnePlus. Li is known to have successfully led Huawei in China, helping the brand achieve tens of millions of sales. He now hopes to do the same for OnePlus and aid it in reaching the 10 million mark.

OnePlus 9RT roundup: Specs, Price, Colors, & More – What to Expect!

The OnePlus ‘R’ series is meant to give back to OnePlus devotees what they lost ever since the company raised its prices for its top-of-the-line offerings. Take the OnePlus 9R, for example, that launched for ‘just’ INR 39,999 ($532), yet offers near-flagship specifications. The phone continues to be a compelling buy even now, but OnePlus seems intent on upholding its tradition of launching two versions of the same device in the same year.

The OnePlus 9RT is now all to be making its debut on October 13, and here’s all you need to know before making up your mind about the purchase.

Design & Display

Thanks to official posters, we now know that the OnePlus 9RT will feature a design pretty much its predecessor. The main difference will lie in its camera module which now sports three cameras instead of the OnePlus 9R’s four, although this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The display should be identical to the one found on the 9R. This means that it will continue to be a super-fluid 6.55″ AMOLED 120Hz panel with HDR10+ support.

Cameras on the OnePlus 9RT

There are rumors suggesting that the OnePlus 9RT will be coming with the same IMX766 50MP sensor as the one found on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, although it is yet to be confirmed. If true, the device will be granting top-notch camera performance to its beholder, a far cry from the 48MP IMX586 found on its predecessor. But let’s not get too carried away for now.

Apart from the primary camera, there are barely any details at hand regarding the OnePlus 9RT’s photography capabilities. Still, it is safe to assume that the rest of the cameras will remain unchanged, meaning a 16MP ultrawide and a 5MP macro will be complimenting the 50MP primary on the rear. And a 16MP selfie camera will be present upfront.

That one lost camera from the back will most likely be the 2MP monochrome, which was barely any use anyway.

Other Specifications

The most significant officially confirmed upgrade will be the usage of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. Fabricated on the 5nm process, the chip should translate to improved performance with regular usage as well as games, all while being more efficient.

The chip will be supported with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM that can be expanded by 7GB thanks to virtual RAM support, and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The phone’s display will be a Samsung E4 panel. A tipster had also revealed that the device will be packing a 4,500mAh battery with 65T Warp Charge support.

Further, OnePlus had confirmed that the 9RT will have an improved cooling system, a 600Hz ultra-sensitive touch, and an extremely low screen latency.

Software

There is confusion regarding the Android and OxygenOS (based on ColorOS) version the OnePlus 9RT will be running, although reliable leakster Digital Chat Station had said that it will be ColorOS 12 based on Android 11, at least in China.

This is quite odd, however, considering ColorOS 12 is still in its beta phase and is linked to Android 12 and not 11.

Colors & Release

The OnePlus 9RT will be available in blue, silver, and black. The black will be called ‘Hacker Black‘ while the silver will likely be called ‘Nano Silver’. An announcement date of October 13 7:30 PM (local time) has been confirmed in China. The sale will commence October 19 in the country. Official news regarding a global launch is still awaited but should follow soon enough.

OnePlus 9RT price in China is reported to be between CNY 2,000 (~Rs. 23,250) and CNY 3,000 (~Rs. 34,800).

Pete Lau teases the launch of OnePlus 9RT in China

OnePlus 9RT is expected to be the next smartphone from the brand. It is in the news since August. In the past couple of months, we have learned almost everything about it. Today (October 7), the company’s co-founder himself teases the arrival of this handset.

The latest Weibo post by Pete Lau, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of OnePlus, details the OnePus T series of smartphones released so far. In the end, the post reads that the upcoming model in the lineup will have a new name and more details will be revealed tomorrow (October 8).

Unfortunately, Weibo spoils the hype by revealing the name of the device, which is none other than ‘OnePlus 9RT’. The brand exec shared this post from the yet-to-release phone.

Last month, OnePlus revealed that there won’t be a OnePlus 9T and a OnePlus 9T Pro in 2021. But the company did not shed details on the OnePlus 9RT. Hence, this is the first time we are hearing about the tweaked version of the OnePlus 9R officially from the brand.

According to previous reports, the OnePlus 9RT will come with features like Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, ColorOS 12 (could be based on Android 11), 6.55-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, up to 12GB RAM/256GB storage, and three colors (blue, silver, black).

In a nutshell, the OnePlus 9RT will be a refreshed OnePlus 9R with some upgrades. Going by Pete Lau’s Weibo post, we expect the company to announce the launch date for China tomorrow.
