TL; DR
- OnePlus confirmed several key specifications for the OnePlus 9RT prior to launch.
- The phone uses the Snapdragon 888 SoC, a 4,500 mAh battery, and more.
- The market launch is planned for October 13th in China.
OnePlus has confirmed a number of key specifications for its upcoming year-end flagship. The OnePlus 9RT is slated to hit the market later this week, but the company couldn’t resist confirming the phone’s chipset, display, and more.
In several recent posts on its Weibo page, OnePlus has confirmed that the 9RT will run the Snapdragon 888 and not the Snapdragon 870 as previously rumored. This connects to LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. If you run out of RAM, 7GB of that memory can be used as virtual memory. All in all, this combination should give the OnePlus 9RT a lively performance that is comparable to other devices in its series.
The OnePlus 9RT will also use a “straight” Samsung E4 AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. OnePlus confirmed in a separate teaser that the display supports a touch sampling rate of 600 Hz. A 4,500 mAh battery supplies the device with power, while a 65 W charging system charges it.
Finally, we can confirm that the OnePlus 9RT will have a 50 MP primary camera, as detailed in the official renders on the phone’s home page. The specifications of the companion shooter remain unknown for the time being.
These are the core specs that have been confirmed, but there is a lot we do not know about the 9RT. It’s also unclear where OnePlus will place this phone priced. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait long for confirmation. OnePlus will launch its new device in China on October 13th.
