Furthermore, tipster Mukul Sharma spotted that the OnePlus 9RT was listed as OnePlus RT on the Google Supported Devices list in India last week. So, OnePlus might remove the numerical from the name of the device and launch it as OnePlus RT in India. However, for now, we will refer to it with the original name.
Now, it is worth mentioning that we have no official confirmation from OnePlus regarding the India launch of the 9RT. So, we suggest you hold your excitement until OnePlus officially announces the launch date, which might happen soon.

Coming to the OnePlus 9RT, as it has already launched in China, we know its key specs and features. And, as with other T-series updates, OnePlus added a few minor yet significant upgrades to the 9RT over its predecessor.
Starting with the display, the OnePlus 9RT boasts a 6.62-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel with support for a 120Hz refresh rate and a whopping 600Hz touch sampling rate. It is to push the OnePlus 9R-series as a gaming-focused device instead of a daily-use smartphone.
Coming to the cameras, the OnePlus 9RT features a triple-camera setup at the back, including a 50MP primary lens, a 16MP ultra-wide lens with a 123-degree FOV, and a 2MP macro sensor. At the front, there is a 16MP selfie shooter onboard.
