OnePlus has already confirmed that the flagship OnePlus 9 series and the OnePlus Watch arrive on March 23. It has shown off the two upcoming phones, the standard OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. However, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has today confirmed that a third OnePlus 9 variant also launches next week. It is the long-rumored OnePlus 9R, which has been referred to as a budget-centric gaming smartphone by Lau.
Back in late 2020, an insider report from Android Central suggested that OnePlus, along with the flagship 9 and 9 Pro, was also working on a budget-centric OnePlus 9 Lite. Now, ahead of the launch event, News18 spoke with Pete Lau and he confirmed the launch of the OnePlus 9R 5G.
