OnePlus 9R: The India-priced "R" — Snapdragon 870 and 120 Hz for less.
SpecEagle Editorial·Apr 2021·$540·Score 74/100
9R brought the loved Snapdragon 870 — a binned 865 that ran cool and lasted — to a $540 OnePlus with 120 Hz and 65 W charging. The missing IP rating and macro filler were the cost; for India and Asia value-flagship buyers it was one of 2021's smart picks.
