Try Google Pay service: It now supports NFC payment from two Indian banks, Axis and SBI. Both debit and credit cards are supported.
11. Does it have carrier aggregation support?
OnePlus 9R supports Carrier Aggregation, as you can see on my phone, where I’m using the Netmonster app to show the CA support. Here you can see 2300 bands being shown twice, which means it has 2cc band support.
12. Is there NavIC satellite support?
No. It doesn’t support India’s new navigation Satellite system. While the processor, Qualcomm 870 offers NavIC support, OnePlus hasn’t enabled it from its end on the 9R.
13. How much time does it take to charge from zero to hundred?
Well, we performed live testing and we noticed that in just 26 minutes it went to 50% and in 55 minutes it charged to full 100%.
14. What are the UFS 3.1 storage speeds?
What does sequential speed mean? This means how fast your smartphone can read and write images, videos, and music files. The better the numbers, the faster it can communicate with the processor to load these files.
The UFS 3.1 numbers are as follows
Sequential Read – 0.98 GB/s
Sequential Write – 520.60 MB/s
Now, what does random speed mean? Let us suppose you are installing a custom ROM or software update on your OnePlus 9R. You’ll notice a minor installation or new software upgrade takes a lot of time compared to a 10GB 4K video that will load easily to play or seek. Now this is because updating software or installing new means writing multiple files at multiple locations, which basically takes time as compared to writing a big file in a series of blocks. Let’s take a look at the random speeds of OnePlus 9R.
15. What’s the screen on time you get on ideal usage?
Around 7.5 hours with a 120Hz refresh rate turned on all the time. 60Hz – screen on time. You will get 1 hour extra when you use 60Hz all the time.
