Earlier, rumors were rife that it will launch as the OnePlus 9 Lite. However, that is not the case right now, considering the confirmation reveals the name – OnePlus 9R. According to Lau, it will have “smooth scrolling, immersive gaming controls, and a superior viewing experience”. Although there is no mention of the pricing details on the series available. He did mention it will come under the mid-range price segment. Furthermore, it is also described as a “premium-tier device” in the company’s 2021 portfolio.
Lau also mentions that they plan to go further than they did with OnePlus Nord last year. This is, in terms of bringing out “a balanced handset with the latest technology and class-leading industrial design”. OnePlus 9R is apparently targetting at mobile gamers. However, it is not likely to have advancements such as dedicated game controls, support for accessories to enhance your gameplay experience, or top-notch hardware.
