All of this information comes from Digital Chat Station, a prominent Chinese tipster. What’s interesting, is that he claims the OnePlus 9 RT will ship with Android 11 out of the box. Do note that he’s referring to the Chinese model, though, with ColorOS. The global (Indian) model will arrive with OxygenOS.
The device will include a 120Hz display, and really fast charging
He also said that the phone will feature a 4,500mAh battery, and support 65W fast wired charging. A fullHD+ display was also mentioned, and so was the 120Hz refresh rate that the phone will offer. It will also include a hole-punch display, and thin bezels. The Snapdragon 888 will fuel the device, based on the provided information, as the Geekbench listing suggested. The device was earlier tipped to ship with the Snapdragon 870, but that won’t happen, it seems. The tipster also mentioned that a 50-megapixel (Sony’s IMX766) camera will be included here. That is basically all the spec-related information that he shared.
OnePlus will utilize a 50-megapixel main camera
Earlier leaks did suggest that the phone will include a 6.55-inch AMOLED display, and that we’ll get 8 and 2-megapixel cameras on the back, in addition to a 50-megapixel one. The phone also featured 12GB of RAM when it surfaced on Geekbench. Now, when it comes to colors, three of them will be available. The OnePlus 9 RT will be sold in Blue Sky Enchantment, Hacker Silver, and Dark Matter color options. Do note that he shared this information in Chinese, so these are only translated names, via Google Translate. They do sound weird, so it’s possible the translation is not spot on. When it comes to pricing, it is said the phone will cost between CNY2,000 ($310) and CNY3,000 ($465). Those are excellent price tags for a Snapdragon 888 smartphone, though these are only Chinese prices. The phone’s price outside of China will be higher. This handset will land in India, though it remains to be seen if it will reach other markets.
