OnePlus 9R: Design

The OnePlus 9R follows the same design language as the more expensive OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. As such, it can easily pass off for a device from a higher price segment. OnePlus has used glass and metal as the core elements for machining the OnePlus 9R. Its dimensions are 161 x 74.1 x 8.4 mm. The back of the OnePlus 9R uses a glass sheet that has the OnePlus logo plastered in the middle and a well-designed vertically placed camera set-up towards the upper right-hand corner of the back panel. This camera module houses four lenses and a dual flash.

OnePlus 9R: Display

For the OnePlus 9R, the display is definitely an area of focus. The device brings with itself a 6.55-inch FHD+ Fluid AMOLED display that can be set to either refresh at 60 or 120Hz. It is a non-curved display, which the company claims can go up to 1100nits at peak brightness. The OnePlus 9R comes with support for HDR10+. In our display test results, the OnePlus 9R running the Display P3 profile managed to achieve high colour accuracy. Calman's ColorChecker test results showed the panel managed an impressive Avg DeltaE error of 1 and a maximum DeltaE error of 2.06. As for coverage of the colour space, in this profile, the panel managed a high gamut coverage of 98.924 per cent of the DCI-P3 colour space. 

OnePlus 9R: Specifications

The OnePlus 9R is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor which was announced earlier this year as a follow-up to the Snapdragon 865 series of chipsets. This chip has been fabricated using TSMC's 7nm process. For computing, there's a Qualcomm Kyro 585 CPU which features a prime core designed to clock a peak speed of up to 3.2GHz. There's also support for 5G. For graphics, the chipset relies on the Adreno 650 GPU. This chip is paired with up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB storage options to choose from. For software, we have Android 11 with OxygenOS 11 on top. The OnePlus 9R is equipped with a 4,500mAh battery that supports Warp Charge 65 fast charging out-of-the-box. This enables the OnePlus 9R to charge from 1-58% in 15 minutes and complete a full charge in about 45 minutes.

The overall performance of OnePlus 9R is quite snappy and is close enough to the results of the Snapdragon 888 totting OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. Connectivity options included on the OnePlus 9R are NFC, USB Type-C, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth v5.10, 3G, and 4G VoLTE.  Sensors included in the phone are an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, a compass/ magnetometer, a gyroscope, a proximity sensor, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
