OnePlus Might Discontinue OnePlus 8T, 9, 9R In India; What Could Be The Reason?

(Last Updated On: January 2, 2022)

OnePlus’s upcoming launch plans are clear for the global market including India. The OnePlus 10 Pro is the anticipated model which is slated for January 11 launch in China. But the brand is also gearing up to bring the OnePlus 9RT in the Indian market. The launch of this premium range handset could happen soon as suggested by multiple leaks and listing on mobile certification websites. And to make space for the OnePlus 9RT in India, the company is said to discontinue multiple previous-generation models. Following are the details:

OnePlus To Discontinue These Previous-Generation Models In India

The list of OnePlus handsets which apparently are going off shelves from the Indian stores includes the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9R, and the OnePlus 8T. Tipster Yogesh Brar has shared this information via his official Twitter handle. This information is said to be sourced via a distribution channel in the country.

OnePlus has not given any official nod to such information and is yet to announce the discontinuation of any of the existing models from the Indian stores. Nevertheless, the company has already given a price cut to a few of the previous-gen models. This has been one confirmation that the brand’s making space for the upcoming OnePlus 9RT in India.

We can’t say for sure if the company will indeed discontinue any of the suggested variants post the OnePlus 9RT’s launch in India. But as per the tipster, this move by the Chinese tech giant would come immediately after the new model’s launch in the country. We still would suggest you take this information as a grain of salt until there is some confirmation by OnePlus on the same.

As far as the OnePlus 9RT’s India launch date is concerned, an official announcement on the same is also awaited as of now. There have been multiple rumors and leaks hinting at the OnePlus 9RT’s imminent India launch. A few of the certification listings have also pointed in the same direction.

But besides the increasing intensity of leaks, the exact launch date and timeline remain at large for the Indian market. We might come across some details ahead of the OnePlus 10 Pro launch which is scheduled on January 11.
