OnePlus 9 Or OnePlus 9R?

One of the outstanding features between the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9R is its chipset. The OnePlus 9 draws power from the flagship Snapdragon 888 SoC, based on the 5nm architecture. On the other hand, the OnePlus 9R is powered by the slightly older Snapdragon 870 chipset, which also offers 5G support.

Apart from this, the other key difference is the camera. Much like the Pro model, the OnePlus 9 includes Hasselblad supported triple-camera setup. The OnePlus 9R packs the 48MP sony IMX586 triple-camera setup, sans the Hasselblad support. If your budget permits, the OnePlus 9 offers several premium features, making it a better choice than the OnePlus 9R.
