As far as the other specifications of the handset go, it is expected to feature a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 9RT could come equipped with the Snapdragon 870 processor. The smartphone might have 8GB/12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Past leaks reveal that the OnePlus 9RT will feature a 50MP primary camera (Sony IMX766 sensor), similar to that of the OnePlus Nord 2 and OnePlus 9 Series. The rear camera module might also include a 16MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP depth sensor. A 4,500mAh battery is expected to power the device and it could support 65W fast charging.
