The response we have received from our community and even users of the OnePlus Nord, has been phenomenal and gives us confidence that we are headed in the right direction. With the OnePlus 9R, we are looking to go even further to bring out a balanced handset with the latest technology and class-leading industrial design that can deliver a superior user experience overall and can also offer fast and smooth experiences for daily usage and heavy gameplay.

The OnePlus 9R is rumored to come with a 6.5-inch 90Hz display and a Snapdragon 690 processor. It is also tipped to feature a 64MP camera and a large 5,000mAh battery.
