For example, the body thickness is as thin as 8.295 mm, the body weight is only 198.5 grams, and the frame curvature adopts a 137.5° gold obtuse angle design to match the weight.

OnePlus 9RT is the first batch to be equipped with ColorOS 12, and it has also ushered in a comprehensive update in design, convenient functions, and privacy protection. The self-developed photon engine allows the system to also have game-level 3D real-time rendering capabilities. With the support of ColorOS 12’s AI self-smooth engine, the smoothness of the whole machine is fully improved through GPA infinite frame stabilization technology.

Compared with previous-generation games, the stability is improved by 10%, the smoothness of App animation is improved by 10%, the smoothness of sliding is improved by 17%, and the cold start speed of App can be increased by up to 13%. According to the official statement, the OnePlus 9RT has obtained the 36-month non-carton certification from Tyre Laboratories.

This time, OnePlus and Yuanshen also jointly launched a cooperative limited gift box, which will be on sale in November.
