OnePlus 9R will be exclusive to India, launch alongside OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro confirms CEO Pete Lau

Just days ahead of the March 23 event of OnePlus, CEO Pete Lau has confirmed the OnePlus 9R, which will be launching in India as the third smartphone alongside OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro.

OnePlus 9R, the third-smartphone in the company's OnePlus 9 series has been confirmed by CEO Pete Lau merely days before the launch. Talking about the 9R, Lau said that the new smartphone would offer a flagship experience at an affordable price. OnePlus is the same company that gave the world the OnePlus One back in 2014, which was hailed as the flagship killer at that time. As we have written earlier, the OnePlus 9R (earlier referred to as OnePlus 9E in several reports) will be the most affordable in the OnePlus 9 series. The confirmation by Pete Lau came during an interview with News 18, where he talked about the upcoming OnePlus 9R at length. Lau said that with the OnePlus 9R launch, the OnePlus aims to expand the smartphone offering to cater to different users. He added that the OnePlus 9R would "reinstate" the brand's promise to provide the OnePlus smartphone experience to more users, with a broader category being covered thanks to the low-pricing. He further said that the OnePlus 9R is the company's effort to provide for the needs of the core community.
