Oneplus launched the Oneplus 9R alongside Oneplus 9 and 9 Pro via an online event. The company has launched the Oneplus 9R as a gaming-focused device which is exclusive to India right now. Here in this post, we will have a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Oneplus 9R in Nepal.

Oneplus 9R Overview:

Performance and Memory

The Oneplus 9R is powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset. It is a slightly upgraded version of Snapdragon 865/865+ with Cortex A77 clocked at 3.2GHz. Adreno 650GPU handles the graphics which is clocked at 670MHz.

The device comes with two storage variants: 8/128GB and 12/256GB. To improve the gaming experience, the company included the Vapor Cooling system with the device. It also has Pro Gaming mode, awesome haptics, and dual-stereo speakers.

Display and Design

The phone has a 6.55-inches Full HD+ Fluid AMOLED panel. It has support to 120Hz refresh rate but it is not adaptive as we saw with the Oneplus 9 Pro. We are getting 240Hz of touch sampling rate even while using all 5 fingers at the same time. There is a left-aligned punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. Also, it has quite minimal bezels and chin.

It measure 161 x 74.1 x 8.4mm (height x width x thickness) and weighs 189g. The panel is made of polycarbonate instead of glass but got a matte finish. It is available in two color options: Carbon Black and Lake Blue.

Camera

Although the Oneplus 9 and 9 Pro features Hasselblad-branded camera, Oneplus 9R doesn’t have that one. It has a 48MP main sensor with an aperture of f/1.7 and OIS. It is accompanied by a 16MP ultrawide lens with an aperture of f/2.2 and a 123-degree field of view. In addition, there are 5MP macro and 2MP Black and White sensors.

On the front, it has a 16MP selfie shooter. Taking about the video quality, the Oneplus 9R can shoot 4K@30/60fps and 1080p@30/60/240fps from the rear camera while it can only record 1080p@30fps from the selfie camera.

Battery and Other Specs

The phone features a 4500mAh battery that supports 65W of fast wired charging. Fortunately, the charger is included in the box. According to the company, the 65W can charge the phone from 0 to 100 percent in just 39 minutes.

Taking about the connectivity, the phone has support to Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C 3.1.
