| OnePlus launches OnePlus 9 RT in October |
OnePlus is planning to launch the OnePlus 9 RT in October. It appears to be a slightly improved version of the OnePlus 9R that hit the market earlier this year. Its specifications are more moderate than those of the flagships OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro
OnePlus 9 RT is limited to certain markets. It is the only flagship of the Series 9 that will be launched later this year. Two northern phones were entered. But there will not be any new devices for the flagship level.
The company changed its exit strategy in the fall of last year. The OnePlus 8T Pro eschews and instead uses a single OnePlus 8T model. The Chinese manufacturer will follow a similar pattern this year.
In terms of hardware, the OnePlus 9 RT is based on the OnePlus 9 R hardware. It has the same AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, higher version of Snapdragon 870 and 4500mAh battery with 65W charging.
And there are camera-centric upgrades, because in addition to the Nord 2, this phone also has a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor from the OnePlus 9 series.
Although the sensor acts as the wide-angle lens on the OnePlus 9 series, Nord 2 made it the main unit, just like the OnePlus 9 RT.
In terms of availability, the OnePlus 9 RT will debut in India and China, as well as the OnePlus 9 R. No other flagship series will be presented in Europe or North America this year.
The company is paying more attention to the budget segment in North America with its Nord N series, and the OnePlus 9 Pro model is not sold in that region.
OnePlus launches OnePlus 9 RT in October
The company is offering the OnePlus Nord 2 in Europe as a viable alternative to the cheaper Android phones from Samsung and Xiaomi. Given that the OnePlus 9 RT is underestimating the success of the OnePlus 9, it is understandable that the company will not want to bring it to the global market.
In addition, the OnePlus 9 RT is the company's first mobile phone with OxygenOS 12 running Android 12.
The company is now using ColorOS as the basis for OxygenOS. OxygenOS 12 is widely based on this foundation and combines different software from OnePlus and Oppo. With the introduction of OnePlus Launcher and the company's unique functions such as work-life balance, Zen mode, Scout and Shelf.
In addition, OxygenOS 12 gets a floating window that works similarly to ColorOS 11. You can resize the window anywhere on the screen.
