The OnePlus 9RT is the latest and most likely the last smartphone we'll see in the company's 9 series, and if you're not all that excited about it, we don't blame you. The 'T' refreshes of OnePlus phones usually bring minor improvements to design and performance. The OnePlus 7T (Review) was an exception, but the 9RT is exactly that. As I already highlighted in my first impressions of the phone, the updates are mainly to do with the design, SoC, and main rear camera. For existing owners of a OnePlus 9R, it's not a huge upgrade but if you have an older OnePlus phone and were waiting for the right time to make a switch, should you be looking at getting the 9RT? Let's find out.

OnePlus 9RT Summary

The OnePlus 9RT has a good in-hand feel despite its hefty 198.5g weight. The rounded edges of the aluminium frame make it comfortable to hold. It has a relatively large 6.62-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a full-HD+ resolution. The second big change lies in the performance of the phone. The OnePlus 9RT uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC making it equal to the OnePlus 9. OnePlus has even tweaked the touch response of the 9RT's screen, which can boost to 600Hz (from 300Hz) in certain games.

The in-display fingerprint sensor is lightning quick at authentication, and navigating the phone's menus is quick. Switching between apps was also seamless and it never felt like I was stressing this phone, no matter what I did. The 4,500mAh battery lasted for 20 hours and 16 minutes in our internal test, which runs an HD video clip on loop till a phone shuts off. The camera app on the 9RT has been lifted straight from sister company Oppo's ColorOS. Image quality is good but low light performance could have been better.

The OnePlus 9RT is a solid flagship that needs a couple of thousand Rupees shaved off its current asking price for it to be a good deal. If you can't wait, Xiaomi, Realme and Samsung have equally enticing offerings at better prices.

This is 3 and a half month review, and lots of my comparison will align with my previous phone OnePlus 7T

Jeetu Singh (Mar 31, 2022) on Gadgets 360

I got OnePlus 9RT with good deal only for 23k with exchange and bank offers. Sadly to say I'm thoroughly disappointed with this phone after 3 and half month of use. Even at 23k price, this phone is totally NOT WORTH, let alone is trash @ 44k price. The phone came in good condition, had better screen fluidity and performance than my previous phone. Sadly these things didn't last much. 1. The sensor started malfunctioning. I tried everything from turning off the sensor to remove sensor related option. The thing just doesn't work properly. I checked if sensor are working properly, it shows that it works properly. My conclusion is this is firmware/software issue. you will be unable to hang up phone if person in opposite side doesn't hang up phone and left it unattended, cause the forced black screen won't let you use anything in phone. This wasn't issue in OnePlus 7T. 2. Limited customising options. Unable to customise the phone like I could in previous version. Oxygen OS has gone from worse to worst. I will later mod this phone to make it more customisable. 3. After 3 months of careful handling and use, battery drain is worse than my 2 and half year used phone. 4. Have many software issues. In the end I had very poor experience with this phone. When Oppo bought OnePlus, it was gone forever and so we have to move on too. This new OnePlus is only brand name. They don't repair phone properly/ listen to customer complain. I've been OnePlus user for 9 years and this is the worst product I ever used in their phones.
