OnePlus unveils latest 5G smartphone

Chinese smartphone vendor OnePlus has unveiled its latest 5G model OnePlus 9R, as it scrambles to attract more consumers with high-quality handsets.

Priced from 2,999 yuan ($460) in China, the OnePlus 9R is powered by US chip giant Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870 chipset. It features a 6.55-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a quad-camera setup on the back.

Liu Zuohu, founder and CEO of OnePlus, said in a statement in this price range, there are few products like the OnePlus 9R that have both superior performance and advanced quality.

The company has also been working hard to expand its presence in the high-end smartphone market and offline retail. OnePlus said earlier it has more than 1,000 employees working on growing offline retail partnerships.
