OnePlus 9RT India model appears on Geekbench, but it boots on the old Android 11 OS

Pranav Sawant — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 11:16:59 +0000

Last year, OnePlus officially launched the OnePlus 9RT in China carrying the model number MT2110 and offering specs like a Snapdragon 888 SoC, 50MP triple cameras, and 65W fast charging support. Now, the company is all set to launch it in India on January 14. Ahead of its launch, the OnePlus 9RT India model has now emerged on Geekbench confirming its arrival.

A OnePlus device with model number MT2111 passed the Geekbench v5 certification scoring impressive points. It is believed to be the OnePlus 9RT Indian model since the same device was earlier seen on BIS certification. The Geekbench listing reveals a single-core score of 888 points and a multi-core score of 3319 points.

The smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 octa-core SoC. It has the first four cores clocked at 1.80GHz, the other three cores clocked at 2.42 GHz, and the last core clocked at 2.84GHz. The device has 12GB of RAM but unfortunately, it runs on Android 11. But we expect the company to push the Android 12 update soon after the launch.

Regarding its other specs, the phone was launched with a 6.62-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. The phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner for security.

It sports a 16MP selfie camera and a triple rear camera. The rear setup goes by a 50MP Sony IMX766 main lens, a 16MP ultra-wide sensor, and lastly a 2MP macro lens. The device packs a 4,500mAh battery has support for Warp Charge 65T.

OnePlus 9RT and Buds Z2 TWS confirmed to launch on January 14 in India

Pranav Sawant — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 13:58:55 +0000

After a long wait, OnePlus has officially confirmed to launch the OnePlus 9RT 5G on January 14 in India. The smartphone will hit the floors along with the OnePlus Buds Z2 TWS earphones.

The launch is scheduled at 5 PM IST on OnePlus India’s official Youtube channel. The smartphone will be exclusive to Amazon India and will be also available from the official OnePlus India website.

Since the phone has passed numerous rumors and as it’s already unveiled in China, we do know plenty of the phone’s details. The OnePlus 9RT 5G comes with a 6.62-inch punch-hole display featuring a Full-HD+ resolution.

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. It sports a triple camera system at the rear with a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, a 16MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. The device has a 16MP single selfie camera lens.

It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G SoC coupled with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 onboard storage. It packs a 4,500mAh battery with Warp Charge 65T fast charging support. It boots on Android 11 out of the box.

In China, the phone was launched in three colors – Black, Silver, and Blue and came at a starting price of roughly $500. That said, we expect the phone to come in similar colors and arrive between ₹40,000(~$537) to ₹45,000(~$604) price range in India.

The OnePlus Buds Z2 could come at a cheaper price of ₹4,999(~$67) and will have 11mm dynamic drivers, a 3-mic setup, and 40dB ANC.

OnePlus 9RT Full Review: The perfect balance of camera and price

Paco Zheng — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 13:26:15 +0000

We thought OnePlus’ first phone in the second half of the year would be the OnePlus 9T, but it turned out to be the OnePlus 9RT.

Yes, only six months have passed since the release of the OnePlus 9R, and OnePlus is rushing to launch an upgraded version.

Why exactly is OnePlus launching this phone? Maybe we can get the answer from the phone.

VIDEO REVIEW:

OnePlus 9RT Review: Design

Although it is said to be an upgraded version of the OnePlus 9R, the OnePlus 9RT is more like a twin of the OnePlus 9. The almost identical appearance of all three reflects the continuity of the OnePlus design, but it also inevitably feels like it lacks novelty. This silver 9RT looks like a ceramic glazed material and doesn’t get fingerprints easily.

The new process makes this silver my favorite of the three colors of the 9RT, and the feel of the phone that OnePlus has been emphasizing is great on the OnePlus 9RT. The rounded frame and back cover are very tight and the weight of less than 200g brings excellent experience.

Features such as NFC and stereo dual speakers are not missing either. If I could sum up the design of the OnePlus 9RT in one sentence, it would be: it looks ordinary, but it’s comfortable to use.

The specs of the screen have also changed slightly compared to the OnePlus 9R. The size has gotten bigger, so the PPI is a bit lower at the same resolution. This time, the 9RT adds sub-pixel rendering of fonts, which theoretically improves the clarity of some fonts. The downside is that there may be colored streaks around the edges of the fonts.

But even after zooming in, you can’t see a big difference, and the impact on daily use is ignorable. The biggest difference is that the screen of the OnePlus 9RT is no longer Fluid AMOLED. The biggest disadvantage of the OnePlus 9RT with a regular AMOLED is that it is not transparent enough. The lower bezel is also wider than the 9R, and the rainbow effect is noticeable when you look at it sideways. Although it is difficult to find these shortcomings during normal use, in general, the screen of the OnePlus 9RT is a bit of a step backwards compared to the 9R.

OnePlus 9RT Review: Performance, Benchmark, & Gaming

OnePlus 9RT does not use Snapdragon 888+, rather comes with Snapdragon 888, and the system is equipped with the latest Color OS 12, with Benchmark scores of 793506 on AnTuTu, 3DMARK score of 5869, Geekbench 5 single-core of 1124, and multi-core score of 3330. This time, OnePlus focused on optimizing the gaming experience, with the in-game touch sampling rate reaching up to 600Hz.

The 90FPS frame rate for PUBG is satisfactory, although it’s not 90 FPS throughout, but an average of 88 FPS is considered very good. OnePlus 9RT also has an official cooperation with Genshin Impact this time, but the optimized Genshin Impact performance doesn’t seem to be as impressive as we thought it would be, with the frame rate quickly locking in at 40 fps. Obviously, OnePlus is looking for stability and lower gaming temperatures than high frame rates.

This time, the 9RT has a new “Ultra-steady frame mode”. The performance is roughly the same when you turn it on, except that the frame rate is a bit higher at the beginning. But the smooth drop in frame rate does bring a better gaming experience than some phones with higher frame rates but without this stability. It seems that the 9RT has made some efforts in gaming, so users who like to play games can consider this model.

OnePlus 9RT Review: Cameras

The biggest upgrade to the OnePlus 9RT should be its camera. The main camera has been upgraded from IMX586 to IMX766, which is a very big improvement in all specs compared to the 9R. Since the Mi 11 is also at the same price point and has a flagship sensor, we chose the Mi 11 as the model to compare.

Main Camera

1 of 17

Daytime performance is good, the colors are gorgeous but not too saturated, it will look better. Dynamic range is also good. At night, you can see how great the IMX766 is. You can see detail in both the highlights and shadows. And with a larger single pixel size, capable of reducing exposure time, the Mi 11’s super high pixel count actually suffers in dark light. It’s safe to say that the OnePlus 9RT’s main camera is on par with many flagship phones. The only complaint is that I wish they would reduce AI sharpening of the image to a certain extent, which can be over-sharpened at times. The main camera also adds a “HI-RES Mode”, which can take 100-megapixel photos with AI interpolation. However, it doesn’t improve the clarity of the image much and is still far from the quality of the real 100-megapixel photo from the Mi 11. And if you use this mode it may also lack AI color tone resulting in the final shot not being as good as the photos taken in Auto mode. So it is not recommended using this mode on a daily basis.

Ultra-Wide Camera

1 of 12

I am still very impressed with the ultra-wide camera, even though it is not an upgrade. The dynamic range is excellent, especially the control of highlights. Even though the Ultra Wide Camera doesn’t have a large sensor size, with the excellent algorithm, OnePlus 9RT gets correct exposure in dark lighting at night. And the auto mode also incorporates the night view algorithm, so you can see some difference between the photos it takes in auto mode and night mode in low light. The overall experience of using this camera is excellent.

Macro Camera

1 of 2

The performance of the 2MP macro lens is the same as most budget phones, and the closest focusing distance is actually 4cm. Its image quality is worse than that of cropping with the main camera, so we won’t go into too much detail about its camera quality.

Coming to the video recording, I was honestly shocked by the 9RT’s video shooting capability. Not only do the main and ultra-wide angle cameras support 4k 60FPS recording, but you can also freely switch between the main and ultra wide angle cameras during recording at 4k 30FPS. Many phones in the same price range can’t do this, including the Mi 11. AI Highlight mode allows you to record videos with more vibrant colors and a bit of dynamic range improvement. But because the effect is not significantly improved, and you can only shoot 1080P 30FPS video, it is not recommended for everyday use.

Do check out our video review added above for the video shooting comparison.

OnePlus 9RT Review: Battery Life & Charging

OnePlus 9RT supports up to 65W of charging power. The special 65w charger is right inside the box. It takes five minutes to charge to 36%, fifteen minutes to 65%, and takes only half an hour to fully charge to 100%. The battery is still 4500mAh, and the power consumption of each scene is shown in the picture.

Half hour of Tiktok consumes 5%, half-hour of online video around 5%, two games consume 10% and 12% respectively. This power consumption is at a relatively normal level for a Snapdragon 888 phone.

So why did OnePlus launch the 9RT?

After comparing the OnePlus 9, 9R, and 9RT, I found that the biggest difference between them is the camera. The OnePlus 9 has the best camera of the three, while the 9R is the cheapest. The OnePlus 9RT is the phone that has the best balance of price and photo experience. In fact, its camera surpasses our expectations as well.

So what do you think about the phone?

OnePlus 9RT Hands On: Inching Closer to a true flagship

Staff — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 15:08:53 +0000

OnePlus’ big launch for the second half of the year turned out to be for its affordable flagship model, the OnePlus 9 RT. The new model brings its R-series smartphones closer to its more expensive siblings, with a powerful Snapdragon 888 chipset and an upgraded camera setup. Basically, the OnePlus 9RT feels like a twin of the OnePlus 9.

The almost identical appearance of all three models reflects the continuity of the OnePlus design, but we do agree that this similarity can be boring at times. But silver 9RT has a ceramic glazed material and doesn’t get fingerprints easily. So there’s no doubt that this is our favorite color among the two other options available for this device (Black and Green).

The sub-200gram weight, rounded corners, and good weight distribution makes for an excellent hands-on experience on the OnePlus 9RT. Features such as NFC and stereo dual speakers are not missing either. If I could sum up the design of the OnePlus 9RT in one sentence, it would be: the color looks fancy, and it feels comfortable to hold.

The OnePlus 9RT features a 6.62-inch E4 OLED flat display with 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and up to 600Hz touch sampling response.

As for its buttons, the phone continues OnePlus’ layout for its 9 series. So the new model features volume buttons on the left, an alert slider and power button on the right, a microphone and antennas on top, and a SIM card tray, Type-C port, and a stereo speaker grille at the bottom.

The OnePlus 9RT comes with an upgraded 50MP primary shooter, along with a 16MP wide-angle and a 2MP macro camera. The new cameras look promising, but we’ll check them out in detail in our review later.

As for the battery, the phone features a 4500mAh capacity one with a 65W charger bundled inside. It will charge the phone to 100% in just half an hour.

We are looking forward to checking out its camera and performance in detail, so stay tuned for our detailed OnePlus 9 RT review that’s coming in the next few days.

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.
