As revealed earlier last month, there is no OnePlus 9T flagship series this year. Instead, the Chinese company has simply refreshed its gaming-centric OnePlus 9R smartphone with the T moniker and minor upgrades. OnePlus 9RT packs the powerful Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, along with a display that boasts a 600Hz touch sampling rate and an upgraded 50MP camera.
As is the case with the T-series refresh, the OnePlus 9RT brings minor but substantial upgrades over its predecessor on the performance and camera front. The company has also slightly upgraded the display to further pitch the OnePlus 9R-series as a gaming-centric smartphone. So, without further ado, let’s check out the key specifications.
Moving on to the next major upgrade, it’s the Snapdragon 888 chipset under the hood. Unlike its flagship siblings under the OnePlus 9 series, the Snapdragon 870 chipset powered the OnePlus 9R. OnePlus 9RT now arrives with Qualcomm’s flagship SoC, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM (along with 7GB virtual RAM) and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.
The device runs Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 out-of-the-box, but will be upgradable to OxygenOS 12 in the coming weeks. Also, since OnePlus is pitching this lineup as a gaming-centric phone, you have a new five-layer cooling system onboard. There’s a 19067.44 sq. mm cooling system to keep the temperatures in check during high-performance tasks.
OnePlus 9RT has been priced at CNY 3,299 (~Rs. 38,599) for the 8GB + 128GB base variant whereas the higher-end 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB variants will cost CNY 3,499 (~Rs. 40,999) and CNY 3,799 (~Rs. 44,450) respectively.
