OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9R specifications and features
The OnePlus 9 is the more powerful smartphone of the two – it is powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. On the other hand, the OnePlus 9R has the Snapdragon 870 chipset at its heart. With that said, this might not make much of a difference to the average end user.
Both the phones feature the same 6.55-inch Full HD+ Fluid AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Both also have the same 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 memory, which is paired with up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
The primary difference is in the camera system. The OnePlus 9 comes with Hasselblad branding, with a 48MP primary camera with Sony IMX 689 sensor, a 50MP ultrawide angle snapper and a 2MP monochrome camera. It has a 16MP selfie camera.
Surprisingly, the OnePlus 9 misses out on optical image stabilisation (OIS).
The OnePlus 9R has a 48MP primary camera with the slightly older Sony IMX 586 sensor with OIS, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera and a 2MP monochrome camera. It has a 16MP selfie camera.
Other features of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9R include 5G, dual 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 and NFC. They’re both powered by a 4,500mAh battery and support 65W fast charging.
