If you are here then you will be very confuse to pick the best one among all of them, so lets start.

First most important thing that OnePlus’s country of origin is China, so if you don’t want to purchase the Chinese brand then go for Samsung and Apple devices they will offer you more security and satisfaction.

Now return to our main topic why you should pick up the OnePlus 9R from bucket, because there are many killers present in the market, who offer more values within less price. Some of them are far better then OnePlus 9R in different aspects like low light camera, better hardware and better battery.

Snapdragon 870 (Kryo 585)

OnePlus 9R comes with powerful snapdragon 870 5G chipset (Octa core CPU with clock speed up to 3.2 GHz), which is based on 7nm (64-bit) architecture. You can say it’s SD 865+ processor (SD 865 with boost clock-speed). This chipset comes with X55 5G Modem (Speed up to 7.5 Gbps) and supports mmWave, Sub-6 GHz, Time Division Duplex (TDD), Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS). It can also support Wi-Fi 6 technology (MU-MIMO (Uplink and Downlink), 8×8 sounding, OFDMA (Uplink and Downlink), Dual-band simultaneous (DBS), WPA3 security support, Target Wake Time), NFC, USB 3.1 and USB-C.

This processor can support Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS, Dual frequency GNSS, NavIC enabled, GPS, GNSS, QZSS, SBAS satellite system but OnePlus 9R does not support NavIC (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System). It can be enable from update.

This processor is enough capable of handle single camera up to 200 MP, dual camera up to 25 MP, and can record 4K video, 720p slow motion video at 960 fps. It also bundled with premium features like Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG.

SD 870 offers you 4K max on-device resolution at 60 fps or QHD+ at 144Hz, you can enjoy maximum external display on 4K resolution at 60 Hz. It also supports HDR10 or HDR10+

Security Features: Camera Security, Crypto Engine, Key Provisioning Security, Malware Protection, Qualcomm® Content Protection, Qualcomm® Mobile Security, Qualcomm® Processor Security, Qualcomm® Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), Secure Boot, Secure Token.

I was not sure about the type of memory (RAM) in OnePlus 9R, This chipset can support 4x16bit, LPDDR5 RAM at 2750MHz but some professional YouTubers and articles are showing that OnePlus 9R uses LPDDR4X RAM. I checked on many different – different region’s official OnePlus sites and forms but didn’t get any info regarding type of RAM present in OnePlus 9R then I got confirmation from OnePlus team regarding this:

Body (Build Material)

OnePlus 9R comes with aluminum frame body and glass front & back with Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It’s weight around 189g, it may be different from variant to variant. Dimensions: 161 x 74.1 x 8.4 mm.

Camera

OnePlus is not upgrading the camera hardware, it is using the same camera module present in OnePlus 8T and same Sony IMX586 sensor from OnePlus 7. They are only improving the camera with the help of software but it’s not worth for that price point. Even some smartphones those are half of it’s price offer better camera hardware. So if you are camera lover then don’t go for OnePlus 9r (low light image quality is too poor). You can consider Samsung S20 FE 5G (SD 865) under ₹40,000 after bank offer.

Audio

OnePlus offers Dual Stereo Speaker with Dolby Atmos® which is very loud and clear. But there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack. You can also enjoy aptX, aptX HD and LDAC/ACC.

UI (User Interface)

The main reason of purchasing OnePlus devices are its UI (Oxygen), It’s close to stock android with some extra customized features. Oxygen UI is well optimized and light weighted for their hardware, you would not get any bloatware or ads in Oxygen UI. It’s clean UI and offers latest security patches on time. Oxygen UI is best for those who uses one smartphone for long term (3-6 years), you would not disappoint with it’s performance. OnePlus does not decrease their smartphone’s camera and processor performance to sell their latest model.

Battery

OnePlus has Oxygen UI, it’s well optimized for 4500 mAh (2 Cells in Parallel, 2 x 2250 mAh) to offers highest screen on time and because of 65W super fast charger you don’t need to worry about battery. I am not sure about bypass charging because it offers (2S1P battery), comment us if you know.

Pricing

From many years OnePlus brand knows for affordable smartphone with flagship performance and features, but here OnePlus 9r is too overpriced. Many smartphones like iQOO 7 offer more value for money under ₹30,000. OnePlus 9R offers three color options: Carbon Black (Matt Finish on back glass), Lake Blue (Glossy Finish on back glass absorb more fingerprints), Just Green (Available soon, officially announced in China).
