OnePlus built its brand image around “flagship killers”, promising nearly all the features and capabilities of flagship-class phones at half the price or less. These days, flagships are routinely launched at prices north of Rs. 1,00,000, and OnePlus has kept pace. The new OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro were just introduced with starting prices of Rs. 49,999 and Rs. 64,999 respectively, putting them well and truly into the premium tier. Unfortunately, for many people, purchasing power has not risen quite as much. The kind of buyer who felt like they were getting a great deal when, say, the OnePlus 5 launched at Rs. 32,999 in mid-2017, is unlikely to feel the same way about the current generation when it's time to upgrade.

OnePlus 9R Summary

With only cosmetic changes and a slightly upgraded processor compared to the OnePlus 8T, the new OnePlus 9R is not very exciting at first. It has been launched exclusively in India because the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have come in at higher prices. The company could have done more to keep things fresh in the premium segment, but even so, the 9R is a good overall package. It looks slick, and has a crisp AMOLED screen plus stereo speakers. Performance is good in everyday tasks and games run well too. The battery will last you all day, and you get a 65W fast charger in the box. The 48-megapixel main camera takes good shots and Nightscape mode can work very well depending on ambient light conditions. OxygenOS continues to be slick and feature-rich without getting overbearing. The 9R could be a good choice if you're a OnePlus fan, but do keep in mind that there's a lot of competition and you have many other choices.

One Plus 9 R 12 GB - 256 GB - Why it is Waste of Money?

Deepanshu Budhija (Dec 28, 2021) on Gadgets 360

So, I have used OnePlus - 1, 3, 5, 6. I have always been satisfied and so satisfied that my younger brother, my wife, my dad, my mom all have one plus series phone. I was using OnePlus 6 from past 3 2.5 years now and Oneplus 9R came. I had 8 GB RAM earlier and I was getting 12GB option here so I planned to upgrade. But to my surprise!! This is the worst phone ever by OnePlus. It hangs so much that it looks like chinese 12 GB RAM is there which is even lesser than my previous 8 GB onePlus 6 RAM. Call Recording is not there If I download truecaller then after 4/5 calls, my phone app starts crashing.. Even without Truecaller, if the phone is not restarted every 7-10 hours, I cannot see who is calling me till atleast 5-8 rings, no screen. If I am calling someone, most of the time even when I can hear the dial tone going, but my screen is blank - white. I did a complaint to Oneplus customer care, they are saying to visit a care store, which I have not been to honestly. Its been 2.5 months now. But overall experience with Android was only because of OnePlus for me till now, but I think I will have to move to IpHone as soon as I have budgets and can sell this one at good price.. Alwida OnePlus - your long time loyal customer won't be there anymore, so will be my referrals over coming years.
