OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9R will go on their first sale today in India at 12pm (noon) for Amazon Prime members and Red Cable Club members. Regular customers can purchase the phones from April 15.
I think OnePlus should have given the 9 an official IP rating, and at least basic wireless charging in India, if not 30W wireless charging like the 8 Pro. I might even have been okay with this had the pricing been lower, but it s not.
The other features are similar to those of the 9 Pro. Both models feature Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, multiple sensors and satellite navigation systems, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, an updated haptic engine, and a better cooling system for the SoC. They also have the same 4,500mAh battery along with 65W fast charging.
Software is taken care of by OxygenOS 11, which is based on Android 11. My unit received a few updates post launch, and overall, the experience has been better than with the 9 Pro, which still has some bugs that need to be squashed. Hyper-Touch, which bumps the display s touch response to 360Hz in certain games, is one of the few features that is missing in the 9, but the software is otherwise more or less identical to that of
The OnePlus 9 series will be coming with 2 years of warranty as per the CEO. The Morning Mist colour of the OnePlus 9 Pro has been officially revealed as well.
