[Update: May 18] OnePlus 9R gets its first software update as OxygenOS 11.2.1.1

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on April 16, 2021) follows:

OnePlus’ 2021 flagship devices, the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are shipping out to users, much to the delight of these new owners.

However, while the attention is on the beefiest OnePlus 9 Pro and its lesser brother the OnePlus 9, the other device announced at the launch, the OnePlus 9R is often left out.

The OnePlus 9R comes with most of the features that the other OnePlus 9 devices boast of with the little downgrade in the chipset, running on the Snapdragon 870 instead of the flagships’ Snapdragon 888.

Other than the chipset, this India-exclusive device also misses out on the wireless charging feature, a feature that is arguably less of a priority for users in India.

The OnePlus 9R, like its other siblings, was expected to go on sale within this month of April and as people start getting their units, OnePlus is pushing out its first OTA update to the 9R.

The update which can be identified by its software version number OxygenOS 11.2.1.1, brings a few optimization and enhancements to this device as outlined in the following changelog.

System
– Improved the charging stability to provide a better user experience
– Improved charging stability
– Improved the haptic feedback for Call of Duty Mobile
– Fixed the abnormal change of incoming ringtone with dual SIM cards
– Fixed the delay in incoming calls when the device is in charge
– General bug fixes

Gallery
– Improved the loading speed of the gallery to speed up the process of previewing pictures

Clock
– Improved the vibrating performance of alarm tones

Network
– Improved Wi-Fi Hotspot performance
