There are reports that Chinese manufacturer, OnePlus, has no plans to release new phones this month. However, it appears that the company is preparing to bring OnePlus 9RT and OnePlus Buds Z2 to India. The source Mukul Sharma recently discovered the OnePlus 9RT and OnePlus Buds Z2 support pages on the OnePlus India website. This is an important hint that these two products will debut in India in a few days.
OnePlus 9RT should be exclusive to the Indian and Chinese markets. However, the company has not officially released this smartphone in the Indian market. OnePlus 9 RT and Buds Z2 were initially launched in the Chinese market in October this year. This is the successor to OnePlus 9R and a new headset product.
The official name of the new OnePlus phone seems a bit confusing. Although it is called OnePlus 9RT in the Chinese market, it is rumored that the company uses a different name for the same phone in India. There are speculations that this smartphone may be called OnePlus RT in India.
Furthermore, OnePlus will show off its new flagship phone OnePlus 10 Pro on January 5 next year. This flagship phone will debut in the Chinese market first.
