What this revelation also tells us is that there will be no OnePlus 9T or a 9T Pro this year. This explains why the company wants to release a OnePlus 9 RT model rather than its upper-tier T and T Pro variants. We must note that October 15 is only a tentative date provided by the tipster, so it’s probably too early to mark it down on your calendars.
The OnePlus 9 RT is expected to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chip
Expectedly, the OnePlus 9 RT will follow in the footsteps of the OnePlus 9R released earlier this year. Much like the 9R, the upcoming OnePlus mid-ranger will run on the Snapdragon 870 chipset instead of the high-end Snapdragon 888. Expect this smartphone to be attractively priced in the mid-tier segment. If current reports are accurate, this OnePlus 9R successor could cost INR 39,999 which is equivalent to around $540. As was the case with the OnePlus 9R, the next OnePlus mid-ranger is likely to be limited to the Indian and Chinese markets, at least initially. The phone will likely bear resemblance to its predecessor, though there may be some last-minute changes to the hardware. The OnePlus 9 RT is rumored to offer a 6.55-inch fullHD+ Super AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Leaks have revealed that the phone will be available in three variants with varying RAM and internal storage options. The top-of-the-line variant will feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Meanwhile, the company will also offer variants with 8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. The OnePlus 9 RT will sport a 4,500 mAh battery pack with support for 65W fast wired charging. Unfortunately, the phone will miss out on wireless charging. In the camera department, the OnePlus 9 RT will have a 50-megapixel primary rear camera sensor (Sony IMX766). The phone will also feature a 16-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 2-megapixel monochrome camera on the back. The front will have a 16-megapixel selfie camera.
