OnePlus 9RT and OnePlus Buds Z2 were expected to launch in India in November but for some reason, the launch had to be pushed. The company is yet to reveal the official OnePlus 9RT launch date in the country but we expect the brand to start teasing the phone in the next few days. While the phone has been spotted with the “OnePlus 9RT” moniker, there have been reports that it will be called OnePlus RT in India. Recent rumours have claimed the OnePlus 9RT will launch in the country on December 16th in India and will be available in Nano Silver and Hacker Black colour options, while the OnePlus Buds Z2 will be made available in Black and Pearl White colours.
