OnePlus has a slightly confusing lineup up front – there is the OnePlus 9, the 9 Pro and a surprising entrant called the OnePlus 9R – with very little difference between them. With a ‘T’ version on the horizon, we believe OnePlus will make it very difficult for us to keep count. Anyway! The company, by way of founder Pete Lau, had officially announced that it would not be releasing a T version of its flagship series this year. The idea to sit back on the T variant was derived from the global chip shortage, at least that’s how it was perceived. It turns out now that the Chinese smartphone maker has a T version ready for launch. It is still not for the flagship models but for the more affordable OnePlus 9R. Supposedly called the OnePlus 9RT, the device is expected to launch in the next week, October 13 to be precise. This entry-level flagship is not likely to deviate much from the basic design language of the 9R. The most significant change could be in the processing, which may get a beef up from Snapdragon 870 to Snapdragon 888. Other than this, a 120Hz display and a Sony lens for the main camera are other possible changes. That’s not much of a difference if we consider the design and feel are going to remain exactly like the previous model. Before you strike off the OnePlus 9RT for being a twin of its predecessor, here is what we know about the upcoming phone. OnePlus 9R is almost a clone of the company’s 8T handset. And if you want an idea of how the OnePlus 9RT will be, have a look at the 9R. There was a chipset upgrade and slight change in the camera setup on the back of the OnePlus 9R from the 8T and the same is expected to happen with the upcoming 9RT apparently only to release in China and India. The phone will start out with a flat panel,6.
