OnePlus 9RT official-looking renders leak ahead of rumored October 13 unveiling [Updated]

OnePlus' lineup has been getting progressively more convoluted recently, and its next device will definitely not reverse that trend. We're talking about the OnePlus 9RT, now rumored to become official in less than a week - on October 13, to be exact. This contradicts a previously outed date, which was October 15. We'll soon find out which was accurate (if any).

The phone has already been caught in a benchmark's database, and it's expected to run Android 11 on day one, allegedly arriving in three colors. And today we have the first leaked press renders showing its design, with the main focus being the camera island.

The OnePlus 9RT is basically a "T" refresh of the OnePlus 9R, which launched back in April. The RT has so far been rumored to sport a 120 Hz screen, 4,500 mAh battery, and 65W charging - all of those features identical to its predecessor.

The big upgrade might be the main camera sensor, sometimes rumored to switch to Sony's 50 MP IMX766. We could also see a change from the Snapdragon 870 to the 888. The OnePlus 9RT is apparently only going to be available in India and China.

Update: OnePlus has announced that the 9RT will be unveiled on October 13 in China at 7:30PM local time. The company also posted a GIF which corroborates the leaked renders.
