Although the 8 and 9 pros were often a bit sharper, esp the 9pro, the 7pro often produced the most pleasing natural looking pics. The 9pro seems to still be overdoing it a bit with the oversharpening.
The new update seems to allow the 7 pros audio to record louder. The 7 pro had noticeable audio recording volume (noise floor & gain, especially outdoors. Perhaps the mics are too sensitive now?) in every comparison. While the 8 Pro mics seemed to have less volume, it was clearer to me...at least on my tinny cell speakers. Think the 8 Pro sounded best/less fatiguing to consumers overall.
If I had the 💰 I would definitely invest in a 9 pro. The pictures and videos were easy on the eyes. But my op7pro is not too far behind. I've been waiting for a video like this. Very thorough video. Subbed! 👍
I upgraded to a 9 Pro from a 7T. I live the camera and the overall speed. Next month I'm ordering a 50 watt wireless charger. I plan to keep this phone and not upgrade in two years when it's paid off. It was important to me to have 5G and wireless charging on a phone that I use for long term.
This is the second comparison where I prefer the 7 to the other 2. I find the processing less aggressive more natural. And especially since you can find the 7 Pro around $300 almost new, the choice is quickly made 🤗.
Interesting to see that the only really difference between then is the low light performance. Although the 8 seems to deal with highlights better at night. Great comparison as always. Though I did miss the crop in to really be able to see small detail differences.
Sounds like oneplus 7 pro has the best mic The 9 pro did the best bringing out the writing on his blue tshirt But overall I think 8 pro is the way to go.
Great video man! Other than the low light video I think all of them look very very similar. 8 Pro was just a little better in my opinion than the other 2. Looking at how similar these are I think OnePlus 7 Pro with GCam might actually out perform the 9 Pro on Stock camera. Would you make on video on GCam vs stock or maybe some older phone on GCam vs Stock of a new flagship?
I have the 9 pro, and I believe the 8 pro is close enough for daily use. The only reason I got the 9 pro over the 8 pro was because I had an upgrade to burn before Samsung's next beast arrives.
Wow you do the best phone comparisons. Years from now we are going to view your channel as one of the top TH-camrs in the tech space. Keep up the good work Grant 👍🏾 👍🏾. #FordGT
Clearly 9 Pro and 8 Pro are better than 7 pro: sharper, less noise, better stabilisation, much better wide angle lens in low light. But between 8 Pro and 9 Pro there is not much of a difference, sometimes 8Pro, sometimes 9 Pro looks better. 9 Pro just have much more sharpening in nightscape mode, so it helps.
7 Pro, 7t pro and the McLaren edition, are so much better when considering the cost. OP should have kept the pop up camera, added wireless charging (8), and flattened the screen (9). That, along with the faster processors, would have moved a whole bunch of people to OP! Big mistake IMO.
7 pro was the first varient in the pro model line up , still the model is rocking it was the phone built before the oneplus team has been split into two so the phone till date satisfies many oneplus lovers , it is for sure I will rock for another 2 to 3 years ❤️
Great video but I am convinced that the 7pro did better in a lot of the pictures and videos , I still think my one plus 7 pro 5g is staying and not worth the upgrade .
@@josephnevin I generally prefer the 7 Pro for color balance. Only in the dimmest nightscape photos did the eight and nine show better, but in comparison to the 7 Pro this seem like they were a little bit too bright in the shadows.
You know what will be intersting, if you can do some fotos in hasselblad mode, i watched a youtuber and they look unnreal, to good to be true, please do a video in hasselblad raw mode
9 Pro is overall better balanced package, but not a massive difference in many areas, and the others even seem to get better results at times. The 8 Pro seemed to get more real detail in some shots like the intro clips and in the flower, and in the cat zoom. It's a little over exposed and colours a bit off however (minor)
Super disappointed at small improvement among those 3 models. That's reason why I'm still using 7 Pro and thinking and looking for the another true flagship killer. Actually it's the first time that I use same phone for over 2 years. Super thanks for this comparison.
Woah didnt expect them all to be so similar! The jump from the 7P to the 8P seems bigger though compared to 8P->9P, but the average consumer probably won't be even able to differentiate the 3 much. The 8 Pro was much better than I expected though! I actually think it's better than the 9P specially with the ultrawide camera! They all have pretty mediocre selfie cameras though, and the 7P has this green-ish tint.
Thank you for the very detailed comparison! Much appreciated. The three models in particular are really relevant for many OnePlus users. I was looking for an upgrade from my 7pro, likely to 9pro, mainly for better cameras. Now I see there is almost no reason to do that. 10 pro unfortunately is not that great either... After some of the legendary Nokias, HTC's, LG and One+ phones which I loved to use, now I'm not really sure what to pick next. Never had an iPhone or Samsung. Maybe it's time to go that way.

9 pro details looks more crisp even when you change optical zoom etc also the colors are balanced note to saturated sometimes with the red flower it was opposite the sound on op 9 pro is quite idk why because op 9 has two stereo speakers maybe the sound stereo sound is not on front principal and in the part down where the USB is located like op 7 pro idk the reason but all of them are good Everytime they released updates camera became better hope so
They are all close to each other, in overall I like the 8 pro photos even better then the 9 pro though, some of the edges of op9 pro are not sharp, the color balance is better on the 9. But if you have the op7 pro I would not switch for the camera
How does your 7pro camera look so much better? Are you using stock camera? My stock camera has horrible color and image isn't very sharp. I had to install GCam
can you please tell me if you feel a difference in the haptics between the oneplus 7 pro and 9 pro ? i have a oneplus 7 pro and thedhaptics are great... nice and solid (it even feels the same on my oneplus nord) but i ordered a oneplus 9 pro last week and its haptics felt TERRIBLE... it made the phone feel very hollow and cheap. i sent it back, received another one but this one had the same problem. i think its a whole batch with this issue because i cant imagine this to be normal on such an expensive phone... what do you think ?
What comments do you have to compare the wide angle lens on the 7 pro at 16MP and 9 pro at 50MP. Also, too bad the wide angle does not do RAW on the 9 pro.
One plus 9 pro has a better video performance & low light performance...one plus 8 pro has a better ultra wide camera performance...and one plus 7 pro has a better performance in day light.
I got the 7t pro and I wanted to upgrade to the 9pro but I just couldn't justify the price difference. It's a 600$ difference for a phone that maybe is 30% better

I like the curved display and I don't need wireless charging. So different customers have different preferences :) P. S. I own 9pro.

Hi Grant, are experiencing recording time limit issues in the latest patch on the 9 pro?
Need to check. Haven't noticed.
In still shots, more similar than different. I bet if presented randomly it'd be about 50/50 correct on which was which.
They are all close to each other, in overall I like the 8 pro photos even better then the 9 pro though, some of the edges of op9 pro are not sharp, the color balance is better on the 9. But if you have the op7 pro I would not switch for the camera
That's been my conclusion as well. No need for OP7 Pro owners to feel like they're missing out too much.
Why is the 9 pro audio a lot quieter and less clear then the 7 & 8? Is this a software issue or hardware?
How does your 7pro camera look so much better? Are you using stock camera? My stock camera has horrible color and image isn't very sharp. I had to install GCam
Not sure, and yes using the stock camera in this video.
The 10 x zoom on 8pro was pretty ok, it had some details on the tower. How is this happening? It's surprising what oneplus keeps bringing up.
I felt in some images the 9 pro was messing up the blue-green colours.
Please tell me sir Wich one do you prefer??🙏🙏

When it's like mid level dark OnePlus 7 pro can make the most basic things look perfect if you have one try it
I am seeing the 7 pro giving a sharper image than that of 8 pro which os surprising because the 8 pro is actually an upgrade from 7 series.

8 and 9 pro seem comparable. 8 pro can have brighter colors and be more contrasty, but the 9 pro is more detailed and dramatic.
I used 7pro with 256G and this price 670$ im very happy until today.8 PRO 9 PRO better but price not good😃
Glad you're still happy with your 7 Pro.
