More Options: OnePlus 9RT

Just another device in the 9-series with a few modules swapped between the existing models

- 

OnePlus has launched the fourth device in the OnePlus 9 series, and this launch comes when we have been keenly waiting for the OnePlus 10. The OnePlus 9RT features a few improvements over the OnePlus 9R including a new SoC. We are not quite sure why OnePlus has this confusing line-up of the 9-series in place, all with the same features, give or take a couple of modules.

The device is available in Nano silver and Hacker Black colours. While the Nano Silver has a metallic gradient, the Hacker Black uses a matte frosted glass to provide a glimmering texture. The back surfaces are resistant to sweat and fingerprint. Other design elements are similar to all OnePlus devices. The camera array has a vertical layout. The screen is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass panel. The phone does not include a dedicated audio jack.

The OnePlus 9RT is powered by a 5nm Snapdragon 888 flagship processor, and this is the main difference from the OnePlus 9R, which uses a 7nm Snapdragon 870 SoC. The storage and RAM options remain the same-8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB. The device works on OxygenOS 11, based in Android 11. Since OnePlus merged its OS division with Oppo's ColorOS, you can see much similarity in the interface and camera features.

It uses a 6.62-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED FHD+ (1080 x 2400) flat display, which provides up to 120Hz refresh rate and 300 Hz touch response rate. During gaming, the device uses Hyper Touch 2.0 technology to increase the response rate to 600 Hz. The display is capable of reproducing 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut. The display and interface proved quite responsive.
