As for the hardware on offer, the OnePlus 9 RT uses the 9R as a foundation, so it will feature the same 120Hz AMOLED panel, a higher-binned version of the Snapdragon 870 and a 4500mAh battery with 65W charging.
There will be camera-focused upgrades, with the phone picking up the 50MP Sony IMX766 that’s featured in the OnePlus 9 series as well as the Nord 2, the report said.
While the sensor served as the wide-angle lens on the OnePlus 9 series, it became the primary module on the Nord 2, and that will be the case on the OnePlus 9 RT as well, it added.
