Presented a few hours ago in its Global version, the OnePlus 9RT already faces an updated policy that can lead to discussion. In fact, according to what was declared by the brand’s assistance service, it is not clear if the Major Updates (those of the Android versions, so to speak) will be only two or there will also be a third.

The question arose when a leaker, Abhishek Yadav, said that, according to his sources, the OnePlus 9RT will only receive 2 Major Updates and 3 years of security patch updates. This, however, has mobilized various users who have directly asked for the assistance of OnePlus, which however is divided into the answers given from user to user.

In fact, a user has been confirmed that the OnePlus 9 series will receive 3 Major Updates and 4 years of security updates and this would also apply to 9RT. However, there is also the response to another user who reveals that this smartphone will only receive Android 12 and 13, with 3 years of security patches. In short, everything is quite nebulous and does not bring us clarity.
Clearly, this can also be important for us European users, should OnePlus decide to bring 9RT to our market as well. Would it be worth waiting for it if the updated policy was in form 2 + 3? Of course, it would all also depend on price and performance.
