Earlier this year, OnePlus and Oppo merged their R&D departments, and this decision could be part of the same.

OnePlus 9RT launched on Friday via a virtual event in India. To many’s disappointment, a flagship-level device in 2022 isn’t coming with Android 12 out of the box. But it’s better for a company to deliver a stable Android 11 than a buggy Android 12 experience to the user when he/she gets a new device. But it won’t take long for the Chinese consumer electronics giant to roll out the Android 12 or OxygenOS 12 update for the OnePlus 9RT....

Frankly, it’s been over a month since I have been using the OnePlus Nord 2, and I have a lot to say about the device. I would start with how wrong I was about the ‘Nord 2’ move from the company. Initially, when the smartphone came out, I thought, why would OnePlus go this route and introduce another mid-range device just after the Nord CE 5G. Especially when the Nord 2 5G’s most expensive variant is priced around the same range as that of the OnePlus 9R....

If you are thinking of purchasing a smartphone under Rs 35,000, the OnePlus Nord 2 and Nord 2T both become a viable options....

Both the telcos will launch 5G as soon as the government brings the spectrum for auction....
