The OnePlus 9R marks a return to value flagships for the company, but it's got a lot of competition. The specs sheet is solid, but the lack of any stand-out features leaves little to get excited about, and the camera performance is still sub-standard. All in all, the OnePlus 9R is a utilitarian entryway into the OnePlus ecosystem and an enticing alternative to the vanilla OnePlus 9, but there are stronger options from rival brands.
