OnePlus 9R Appraisal: Latest Reasonable Handset by OnePlus

The OnePlus 9R is a reasonable proposal in case of the handset’s price point. Though coming at just (roughly AU$725 /$550 / £400), it offers high-end performance, fast charging, and buttery smooth software experience. However, its camera is not as efficient as other lineup members have as the dim-light photography may not be as remarkable as on the other flagship’s cameras. However, the camera is overall quite proficient in taking decent and precise shots. Though the other specs like long-lasting battery performance, fast charging ability appealing form factor makes it a prodigious choice. Its reasonable price tag is also public attracting spec. Those who want top-end performance with decent battery life in an affordable handset should go after this handset.

The OnePlus 9R keeps the same design ranges we found on its two brethren but lacking the very protruding Hasselblad labeling. You won’t see the word Hassel-blad printed on any portion of the OnePlus 9R’s package. So, it is clear that the Swedish camera brand did not involve themselves in ‘co-developing the 9R’s snappers. Despite that, the 9R is closely similar to the standard OnePlus 9 design, putting away the handset’s optics. However, the difference between these two handsets is on the rear texture. As we found, the rear of the OnePlus 9R is somewhat glossier than the standard OnePlus 9.

It employs a similar 3D Corning Gorilla Glass protection which curves slickly into the elegant metallic frame. However, the volume and power buttons are present precisely in the same sites on top. The camera bump is present on the same spot in both of the handsets. However, the 9R keeps an additional lens on the bottom of the bump along with an extra LED flash. Though, you will get the dual-SIM slot and USB-C in the usual place. Design-wise, the handset looks first-class and sturdy, too, while holding by one hand.

The display is closely similar to the standard OnePlus 9 display. The display here is a 6.55-inches AMOLED pane having a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080p. The screen is Full HD Plus, having a 20:9 feature ratio and a top120Hz display refresh rate. The microscopic blow-hole for cover the selfie camera is in a similar position at the upper left side.  Though the display is not curvy here, it is plane with thin bezels on all the edges. The shows on both handsets work on the maximum brightness of 1100 nits, together with an HDR10+ warranty. By putting the OnePlus 9 and 9R alongside, it will be challenging to identify the OnePlus 9R from both handsets as both handsets look closely alike. Overall the display is very top-class as it comes with a top refresh rate at a reasonable price too.

OnePlus 9R Cameras

  • Four rear and single selfie snapper
  • Rear: 48MP main, 16MP ultra-wide, 5MP macro, 2MP monochrome sensor
  • Front: 16MP selfie snapper
  • Good camera result in the day time
  • Quite a week in dim-light photography

Though, the Hassel-blad conglomerate for the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro snappers clutched some headlines. We think that the OnePlus 9 employs exceptional beams in its triple-camera system that made a noteworthy change in photography results. Our reviewing model OnePlus 9R comes with a quad-camera arrangement with the reliable 48MP Sony IMX586 beam as the primary lens. This main rear snapper joins with a 16MP ultra-wide Sony IMX481 sensor, 2MP monochrome lens, and 5MP macro sensor. However, this setup is the same offered by OnePlus 8T optics. However, there is no need to say that the 9R’s picture-taking ability is quite worthy, at best for price. For the most part, the dynamic array, details, and colors are well set.

Though a somewhat brighter sun can reduce saturation points or overexpose the focus, it occurs in very sporadic cases. Snapping the fast-moving body is not a big issue here as the converging speeds are as quick as shutter speeds. The daylight photography genuinely inspired us as pictures appeared bright with sufficient details. The ultra-wide lens is not as efficient as on the OnePlus 9 or 9Pro but still decent to capture wide-angle shots. The macro sensor is not that excessive, and we typically evaded using it. Finally, the monochrome snapper on the OnePlus 9R doesn’t look very suitable.

However, the dim-light photography is not great as pictures appear dull due to sparse details and inappropriate shadows. The front snapper of 16MP is present on the punch-hole pattern on the display’s upper left side. However, the selfie snapper is suitable for bright and true-to-life selfies. The portrait mode is also appropriate here. Conclusively, the camera is ideal for daylight shots, but dim-light performance is a bit low here.

OnePlus 9R Battery

  • Battery: 4,500mAh
  • 65W Warp charging
  • No wireless or reverse charging
  • Power-ups the handset from zero to 100 in 30 minutes

The OnePlus 9R keeps a 4,500mAh battery that favors Warp charging of 65W, the same as its elder brethren. However, this battery can standby for about 8 to 9 hours of continuous hefty work with a single charge. But with light use or everyday use, you can easily find it to last for a full day. However, this handset does not offer you wireless charging. But it provides you fast charging of 65W. So, this wired charging unit can power up the handset from empty to full in just 30 minutes.  That is an excellent charging speed, though, as if you want to use the handset in just half an hour.
