What reviewers say

Both reviewers praised the vivid display, smooth everyday performance and fast charging, but felt the 9R changed little from the 8T. Gadgets360 found its cameras reasonable for the price; Android Authority criticised colour and dynamic range more strongly. Both noticed gaming warmth, while Gadgets360’s charging test was slower than the maker’s claim.
