In his latest Weibo post, OnePlus co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete Lau revealed that the OnePus T series smartphones will come bearing a new moniker. The Weibo post goes on to reveal that the smartphone is none other than the OnePlus 9RT. According to the brand executive, the aforesaid post was shared from the yet-to-release smartphone. However, Lau did not divulge any information regarding the phone’s availability in India.
Design & Other Details Confirmed
The teaser invite showcases a rectangular camera setup that houses three cameras. There is a tiny cutout, as well as two large cutouts. The camera module suggests that the phone will have a 50MP main camera. According to MySmartPrice, the primary sensor could be the same as the Sony IMX766 sensor available on the Nord 2, or the OnePlus 9 series. Despite the lack of an official confirmation, the publications suggest that the other two sensors will be a 2MP depth sensor and a 16MP ultrawide camera.
Furthermore, OnePlus seems to retain the Alert Slider for the 9RT. It is available on the right edge above the power button. The left edge houses the volume keys. More shreds of information about the smartphone will surface ahead of its imminent launch. However, earlier leaks suggest that it will pack a Snapdragon 888 SoC, unlike the 9R, which comes with a Snapdragon 870 SoC.
The phone is likely to ship with 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM options. It could offer up to 256GB of onboard storage capacity. The 9RT could sport a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. In addition to that, earlier leaks suggest that the handset will draw its juices from a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging.
