OnePlus 9R Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OnePlus 9R - hidden self-repeat

Initially, the Chinese company Vanplas specialized exclusively in the creation of flagship smartphones, but the market dictates its own rules, and the developer had to try his hand at the lower and middle price segments to be successful. Although the new items sold well, the manufacturer is still known mostly for top-end devices, often differing in the novelty of the exterior and technical characteristics. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is rather a modified copy of the previously released 8T. But is it really that bad?

The appearance of the device has become, perhaps, its strongest feature, although it lacks originality. The shapes of the case made of glass and metal almost literally repeat those of its predecessor, the block of four photomodules is similar in design. The small 6.55-inch AMOLED display is also trying to keep up with flagship screens. The brightness and contrast are really high, the resolution of 2400x1080 pixels gives excellent image detail for the diagonal used, the smoothness of which is achieved with a refresh rate of 120 hertz . The fingerprint scanner built into the AMOLED panel does not disappoint with its responsiveness and accuracy, the high-quality oleophobic coating also improves the display experience.

The pre-top processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 ( 8 / 12GB of RAM , Adreno 650 video chip) with support for 5G networks and decent energy efficiency also deserves compliments. The performance of the chipset is also impressive in the area of 640,000 points in the Antutu benchmark. The proprietary OxygenOS shell based on Android 11, not the most resource-intensive games and applications are played perfectly, and demanding game projects function at maximum graphics settings. Internal storage is allocated 128 / 256GB , you cannot increase it with MicroSD cards.

The quartet of used cameras is headed by a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor with optical stabilization. The auxiliary modules (wide-angle, macro and for the bokeh effect) are only good, but the main camera inspires extremely positive emotions. Daytime shooting is noise-free, and color and detail are excellent. All of the above is not lost when lighting deteriorates. The battery capacity has reached 4500mAh , with which 10-11 hours of active screen time will be commonplace. It will take about half an hour to fully charge the battery. Other advantages of the phablet are stereo sound and NFC contactless payments. Thus, we got a stylish and balanced device, the serious drawback of which is the price tag and, as a result, the abundance of productive and functional opponents.
