The OnePlus 9T is likely to land later this year, and there are a number of features and upgrades that we want from it.
The OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro continue the brand’s streak of excellent phones that undercut the competition – though prices are no longer as low as they once were. Still, you get a lot for your money, and we expect that will remain true for the OnePlus 9T, which as a late-2021 handset could be a direct rival to the likes of the iPhone 13. So far we don’t really know anything about it, but there are a few things that we can predict, including the approximate release date. You’ll find all that below, then further down we’ve included a list of the things that we most want from the OnePlus 9T (and the OnePlus 9T Pro if such a phone also launches). And make sure to keep this page bookmarked if you want to stay in the loop, as we’ll be updating it whenever we hear anything new about the OnePlus 9T. There’s no news on when the OnePlus 9T will launch yet, but it’s almost certain to be announced in either September or October, since T models are always unveiled in those months in recent years. The OnePlus 8T was announced on October 14, so it’s possible the OnePlus 9T will launch at a similar time, but OnePlus isn’t usually quite that consistent with its launches, so don’t be surprised if it’s up to a few weeks either side of that. Whenever it’s announced it will probably go on sale very soon afterwards, as OnePlus doesn’t tend to wait around for that. As for the price, there’s no news there either, but the OnePlus 9 starts at $729 / £629 (around AU$940), so the OnePlus 9T might have a similar price. We’re not sure whether there will be a OnePlus 9T Pro (since there wasn’t an 8T Pro but there was a OnePlus 7T Pro), but if there is then that might be similar in price to the OnePlus 9 Pro, which starts at $969 / £829 (roughly AU$1,250).
