Hiii!!! I am thinking about upgrading my oneplus 6!! I am torn between oneplus 9pro and S21 ultra. So tell me if oneplus 9 is worth it? Specially camera? As I don't want to give up on oneplus's amazing software and alert slider
9 Pro owner here, glad I picked this in spite of the negative reviews, performance is a beast, cameras are good enough for most daily use scenarios, and the software is cleaner than recent OOS iterations (I love this how there are stock Google apps for Phone. Clock, and Calculator installed). As for the form factor, I upgraded from a OnePlus 3, so this feels smaller compared to that mainly coz of the narrower body. And the fingerprint scanner position also worked out perfectly for me, I understand why some people might hate it, but for me coming from a physical home button placed right at the bottom of my OP 3, it was a perfect transition. Honestly, OOS is so great now that I haven't felt the need to install Nova launcher this time. The only beef I have with this phone is the average battery life. I, like Jared here, have set the display to FHD+/120Hz/Adaptive brightness too, but have never got anything like the 7+ hrs SOT (I only keep WiFi and BT on throughout the day for my Fitbit to work properly). Most of the times, it'll range between 5-6 hrs, occasionally going 6+ hrs, but still fairly average. Although the 65W charger more than makes up for it and I am good to go in 20 min (I keep the charge between 15-83% for preserving battery usually). PS - Oh, and I've got the Pine Green colour, best one IMO, really love the matte finish and doesn't attract any fingerprints 😉
It's still heating up but not to a overheating state at least for me, i watch a lot of video witch on this phone is really good, and not taking photos or selfies or filming daily i just watch media and chat. It gets a warm sure but at least not overheated yet
@@Karan-ol2lh For me, I didn't get the camera related heating warnings even once, but then again, I live in India and haven't really been outside these past few months due to the Covid surge here. By the time I did go outside, they had pushed an update which probably solved that issue. I did get a heating warning once when I was outside in the Sun and had everything on (Data, BT, GPS), but it was a very hot day (42C/110F), so it could be that. Over-all I'm quite happy, and there's actually a great video by Danny Winget on TH-cam where he compares the camera between the launch software and with the updates pushed you should watch if you're considering it. It's a whole world apart and makes you wonder whether it's really better to wait a few months before buying a phone.

Bought 9 pro on 1st of April. As my first OnePlus smartphone. Here is my experience. This phone was a bug monster. Had many big bugs. Phone used to crash and restart suddenly. Also used to freeze sometimes. With normal social media browsing it used get over heat. After two months of uses. And 5 updates. Most of the problems are gone. It doesn't overheat as before. Camera is decent. Performance is great tried asphalt 9 legend ,nfs , and call of duty at max setting working great. Edited 4k videos on VN app didn't faced any lag. Photo editing is flowless as well used lightroom and snapseed. Now it's preety stable smartphone.
Brother am looking to buy oneplus 9 pro so can tell u is there overheating while gaming for like 1 hour I know it ll get warm but is it too hot to touch
I find this with a lot of Chinese brands. They push out so many devices that they rush the firmware, slopping a barely working one with a lot of bugs that is slowly ironed out within a month or two. I mean I've had the same with apple but not to this degree. A phone shouldn't be dropping radios out of the gate. That to me is inexcusable.
I waited a week for this phone to arrive and was bombarded with all sorts of videos and articles on why it's bad. But honestly I love my phone very much. 😍 Happy with my pine green op9 pro

I upgraded from my beloved Note 10 to Op9Pro+. It's only been 2 days, but I'm still undecided. I can't get TH-cam to play over other apps even though that setting it on. Also, TH-cam videos autoplay in landscape mode from pause. I wish Samsung continued the Note series. Looks great, battery life is great, sound is decent and love the lack of bloat ware, but I may never get over my Note 😥
To me the OnePlus 9 pro is the best Android phone you can buy in the US. I've had both the 9 pro and S21 ultra and bottom line for me is the 9 pro is my go to by a long shot. The one area the 9 pro falls short is the telephoto lens ( S21 Ultra is insane). 9 pro has better faster cleaner software, much better design and feel in the hand and camera gives me consistently better photos. Oh and I can charge it up in 30 mins. Great review!
No one is complaining about iphones glossy finish even though they have taken away chargers, headphones, headphone jacks, and what not. And speaking of camera, I can take better images with this phone than iphone any given day. I dont know why people like ihpones's orangie pinkish low hilight images. Iphone blows out hilights every time, it got better with iphone 11 but still not good enough, not to mention the lens glare with every pic where lights hitting the lens.
I've been using the phone for a year now and i think this is the most accurate review about it. The screen + software optimization makes the use of the phone a true delight, the main shooter and ultrawide give incredible results, i specially enjoy the colors and out of focus of the imx789, night photography is also outstanding with a lot of options. As a downside, telephoto and selfie cameras are very average, the tele shows a lot of grain and weird colors, the selfie camera is the same as the Nord series or any other midrange phone. Battery life could be better too, i use it in 1080 res, 120hz and 4G only and i get around 4 hours of screen on time, which is enough for me but not for everyone.
You can disable the auto macro. Did it first when opened the camera. Also I dont even like the macro mode, telephoto gives a lot better result. Also the new camera update is pretty good. But it takes time to learn how much you need to adjust exposure before taking a shot. But when you learn what the software does the colors are unbelievable in most cases. Never seen such colors in any mobile shots. And I have already learned how the colors work so even with the UW I get all that color science. Telephoto on the other hand is still pretty meh. But I know it will be better in months to come. The only problem is that the electronic stabilizer is way too sensitive and getting that perfect shot can be fairly difficulty. But with updates it should be balanced as well. But from my perspective this is one of the top cameras there is. I mean ffs you have a screen that produce 10 billion different colors and a Hasselblad camera adjustments. I just personally love it.
A bit a weird one, but: has the aspect ratio bothered you? Because i picked this phone up last week and just can't get over how on tiktok, for example, almost ⅕ of the width of the video is cropped out. Or have you found a way to prevent this?
Ppl, don't buy OnePlus phones. Company is no longer the same with updates, and have yet to resolve my OP 7 pro android 11 fiasco (overheating, terrible battery and connectivity problems).
What's really annoying is that the initial updates for 11 had the EXACT same bugs and problems OOS 10 had. It's like they threw our every optimisation with subsequent 10 updates and started anew with 11.
The Hasselblad label certainly draws you in, shocked at your revelations. The camera is the most important feature for me. Which is why I bought a Huawei P40 Pro when they came out. A few months later when the iPhone 12 Pro Max arrived, suddenly Google got in a huff and my most important apps stopped functioning. Gotta love that free market protectionism! So I got the iPhone, its cameras are good, but disappointing when you’ve used Huawei. Shame the camera isn’t more Hassel, I would have had a very serious look at buying one.
Really deep into the review cause i get this phone delivered tomorrow. Yet the thing that pointed out my attention directly is the TBC Dark portal lmfao! Thanks for the amazing review, cant wait to have it!
I have the OnePlus 8 right now and so far it's been a stellar phone! Far better than the LG K20 Plus I had for three years. The minute I experienced the 90 Hz refresh rate, I was mind blown! I will note that when I first got it, I had Android 10 and that gave me zero issues. Android 11 made my screen colors look warmer on the lock screen and there are a couple of hiccups here and there when I use split screen. Also whenever I type, you can see the warm colors turn colder which I think looks better. I wanna see how far this phone can carry me but if I'm being honest, I'm eyeing the OnePlus 8T for the 65W charging and 120 Hz as well as the flat screen.
I am so on the fence on this one, in particular because of the camera's heavy lean into the blues. I seems this aspect has been improved in recent updates, but the pictures people are taking still seem a bit colder than I would like. I am choosing between this phone and the pro 8. What makes me most interested in this phone is the performance coupled with the fast charge time. It doesn't help the deliberation process that the 8 pro is on sales in a lot of places right now (like veery on sale), haha.
I chose the 9 oder the pro because of the edges and I just think the $200 more are not worth the pro. I think the 9 is already a luxury phone for quite some money
I treated myself to the upgrade from the Oneplus 7T, which was also very good. Only the camera couldn't quite keep up with the flagships. The last software updates also made camera software a bit worse, at least it seemed like that to me! The Oneplus 9 Pro is once again a real pleasure. The 120Hz display just slips away, Warp Charge is just awesome, the many little software gimmicks that make OxygenOS so great - so well thought out! And then the new camera! WOW - finally I am photographing what I see with my eyes! Maybe even a little nicer! This first step - working with Hasselblad on color calibration - did Oneplus good! I am simply thrilled with this device!
I just bought this phone (S20 FE 5g was the only alternative as other Samsung phones in EU are using Exynos) - I don't like rounded corners but they disappear with a proper case, it was also easy to buy a uv glue based screen protector (but I'd still like flat screen). I love the quick charge (comparing with my last Samsung and 15W) but miss SD card reader (my previous phones always had it). I still have to get used to new camera but for now it looks good. I've switched launcher to Nova Pro as first screen with news feed was really annoying (and I didn't find a way to remove it). I'm also happy to get rid of Samsung ecosystem with lots of duplicated and unnecessary apps and services.
I own this phone. And it's one of the best flagship phones I've ever owned. I have experienced some qwirks with some camera shots, I've posted pictures pics on social media and you can't really tell weather or not a shot it with this phone or an iPhone. The camera shots are very situational though
I agree 100% with your review. Am also using this phone for more than 70days! I could have said that this is just simply awesome at the price range but I kinda got really annoyed with some bugs in the latest OxygenOS11, especially the gallery application and default launcher. The situation here is my piece is taking around 3/4 seconds to load up the entire icons and widgets in my home screen. It's a drastic thing we could expect from a 12GB variant phone! And also slightly disappointed with the battery draining and stuffs. But as you mentioned we can simply cut of the draining level of we compromise on refresh rate , brightness and also switching on that power saver mode.
Personally I like the curved edges. To me it feels and looks more “futuristic” lol. Think I might switch from my current phone (IPhone 13 Pro) to this.
Also idk if other phones do this or not, but this one uses earpiece speaker for media along with the main speaker so the sound seems to come from the middle of the screen rather than bottom. And on landscape mode, it uses earpiece for left and main for right output giving a nice left-right stereo effect thingy
Firstly i have used s21 plus then bought one plus 9 pro.but s21 plus is far far better than one plus9 pro.i shifted back to s21 plus.display,heptic,camera,speed everything is better on s21 plus.
I'm looking for a new device. After all the dozens of reviews that I've watched containing numerous phones, so far I'm pointing towards the ZTE axon 30 ultra. While it's not the very best, dollar for dollar, it is. I'm currently using a ZTE axon 10 pro and I love it.
Way too many quirks with the axons cameras every one of its sensors has way too many quirky things and anomalies with it I suggest you watch Joshua Vergara's review of it
great review !!! I have the pro in green and i loved it when i got t. Now 3 months in i still love the phone , its super fast , oxegyn os is great and its constant in performance. The camera overal i like , the ultra wide is indeed a great one , nice crisp shots , ... I am an hairdresser and nowadays we need to get pictures from our customour hair for social media and stuff , thats where this phone camera goes wrong ... when i look at those "hair" pictures they almost look pixelated especialy in the gallery app . i paid 999 euro for this phone so that i was not expecting :(. All in all a realy good phone but i need those "hair" shots and its not getting it done for me . and thats a real bummer for me after paying that price.
I bought the OnePlus 9 pro for the camera, basically. My last OnePlus device was the OnePlus One, and the OS drove me fucking nuts and I couldn't go back. But answer me this: if you are not an apple fan and refuse to use Samsung (cough Fuck Knox cough), what phone would you choose then? That was my predicament. My prior phone to this was an LG V40, and those cameras severely disappointed me. Hopefully this phone won't!
People hate on this op9pro is from 1. US price . I think in place where op9pro cost same or near 100$ difference samsung and iphone are better but in many countries where op9pro is 500$+ less then samsung and 800$ + less then iphone people still hating it after comparing those is kinda stupid when difference is 10%-15% better but price is 50% - 80% difference... 2. Change in head management of OnePlus ... And big member leaving it .. yeah that did cause huge problem for company and it's slow down many things which lead to problems but I feel OP has been trying to resolve this and I hope they will regain there work force soon... But overall there response and patch up are good they are trying...
Not gonna lie, really want to buy the 9 Pro, with only one issue holding me back. So far I've owned the OP 1, 2, and 6T, and I've had this issue with all of them - when i want to record a video for IG stories the video is terribly slow, and my video looks like a slideshow/PP Presentation, rather than a smooth video. Any advice anyone? I can fix this issue by buying a bitten off apple, but I really wanna stick to Android. Please help por favor.
I'm so tired of curved displays that I took a step down to get the OnePlus 8T because of the flat display... I'm so glad I did. All displays need to be flat!!
I bought the 8 pro because it was on sale the week the 9 pro came out for $599. Lot of value still there. 8 pro is currently unavailable from oneplus. Looks like they cleared the inventory.
Jared it seems like a very good phone but I would personally go with Find X3 Pro or in my case just keep the X2 Pro. I just can't justify spending a lot of money for any OnePlus or Xiaomi for that matter as they don't have the premium brand status.
I literally bought the S21 Ultra and OP9Pro to decide between them. S21 camera is much better, but it's so much heavier and so uncomfortable compared to this phone. This may be my favorite phone to hold, ergonomically. Plus this pine green color is absolutely gorgeous and the finish is grippy enough, yet fingerprint-proof. Returned the S21 Ultra, and haven't looked back.
Just got mine , at first i had a problem on the oled panel with the greys turning green , in took it to the shop and replaced it with a european version ( no case in the box ) but so far so good no problems at all and ofc fast as hell , only complain is the selfie camera its not as good as the iphone 11 pro i had before but its not a big deal , i also hate how i got used to 120 hz so when i use other phones they feel very laggy and slow . Verdict : the 9 pro is really a good deal for its money ( i got mine 740€)
I've had mine for 3 days now. My last OnePlus device was the 8pro (which I didn't like). Still think the 7 Pro is their best device, ever. Enjoying the 9 pro so far and battery is better than expected. Hate that I paid so much for a phone but hey, what's life about lol. Performance is fucking spot on. Camera is good enough for us normal PPL and I have a fine eye. If I owned an 8 pro I would upgrade If I still owned the 7 Pro I wouldn't upgrade other than the sub par camera if that's your vibe.
@Jared Busch You must got a bad sample regarding your SOT. I get 7h+ with QHD+ and 120hz enabled. For me this is the best phone possible for my money. If I could stan Samsungs UI a S21 Ultra could maybe be an option. But the price difference is also 400$ here in Sweden so probably not any way😊
I like all about the phone except battery life, even if i'm using it at HD+ resolution and 120hz refresh rate.... i had to install a batery save app called buoy that really helps with battery life draining over night specialy, now i get around 2% loss in battery over night compared to almost 10%... but.... i love the phone, it's awesome PS: what game is that at 5:46? thanks
Hey, here's an obvious question that no one ever covers in a review. Since it's a PHONE, what's the quality? About camera. OnePlus BOUGHT the Hasselblad name.
I got the 9 instead of the Pro. After years of Samsung Galaxy S series phones I find myself really loving this phone. Photography just isn't my thing so the camera's are fine.
These are the comment I been waiting for. I been with Samsung since the s3 s5 s7 and my current s9 that’s starting to have issues and I been wanting to try a Oneplus but haven’t been to sure If it’s the right decision. But after seeing a few comments like yours I feel like Upgrading to the Oneplus 9 regular will be a great experience and it was once my dream phone to own because of the lack of bloat ware compared to a Samsung, I have a good feeling I’m going to enjoy my first Oneplus phone
In my humble opinion portrait pictures is the biggest downside of this camera. Portrait pics taken with GCam are much better: sharper, look more natural and not like oil paintings when you make pics bigger. I am not saying you'll take much better pics with gcam overall but when it comes to this type of photo then yes the difference is night and day. In general I do consider this camera pretty good although there's still room too improve.
Gonna switch from a p30 pro to a 9 pro because plus one is similar to huawei. To be honest huawei was the best phone ever. Tried to replace it with a 12 pro max sent it back could not get used to the crappy apple slow touch response on the screen or the hollow sound from tapping on the screen or the back. Tried a s21 ultra but hated the cheap feel and the massive amount of crappy compulsory software pre installed. So sent that back also. Now hoping one plus is the way forward.
Same thinking, I would also further choose Huawei without hesitation if they had google apps. Oneplus is a good phone as well bet not as refined as Huawei was.
It's more of the monthly updates and upgrading to the newest android, and also the bugs...I had the OnePlus 8t and it was plagued with bugs and stutters and constantly crashing, brand new as well. I'm with the Google pixel 5 now and the performance is negligible between the 2 besides gaming.
is it possible to choose a refresh rate other than what is specified on the advanced display settings/refresh rate options... For ex. can I set my screen to refresh at 144 Hz on HP omen 300/60Hz model.?????
Great review and a really big thumbs up for the quality and variety of the Cam shots, sooo much better than the average crap we always get on a review o7 dude, can I just say to everyone moaning about colour changes on lenses.... Get over it, learn to edit in snapseed or lightroom, when you see great pics Anywhere and I mean ANYWHERE by a photographer, as much work goes into editing as goes into planning the shot. Those of us who are Canon, know that Fuji, Nikon etc will have a different tone to the shots, not bad , not good just different, equally 5 different 4 grand lenses will all have their unique qualities, you learn them, and you edit accordingly.
I have this phone myself, and honestly I can say I'm glad I chose this phone over the S21 Ultra.

Never seen such colors in any mobile shots. And I have already learned how the colors work so even with the UW I get all that color science. Telephoto on the other hand is still pretty meh. But I know it will be better in months to come. The only problem is that the electronic stabilizer is way too sensitive and getting that perfect shot can be fairly difficulty. But with updates it should be balanced as well. But from my perspective this is one of the top cameras there is. I mean ffs you have a screen that produce 10 billion different colors and a Hasselblad camera adjustments. I just personally love it.
A bit a weird one, but: has the aspect ratio bothered you? Because i picked this phone up last week and just can't get over how on tiktok, for example, almost ⅕ of the width of the video is cropped out. Or have you found a way to prevent this?
Same thing happening with instagram reels and stories, really annoying
Ppl, don't buy OnePlus phones. Company is no longer the same with updates, and have yet to resolve my OP 7 pro android 11 fiasco (overheating, terrible battery and connectivity problems).
They screwed up a lot of phones with the android 11 update. Very disappointed.
What's really annoying is that the initial updates for 11 had the EXACT same bugs and problems OOS 10 had. It's like they threw our every optimisation with subsequent 10 updates and started anew with 11.
Your background is cool 👍🏼 the lighting is everything 😎😎😎😎
The Hasselblad label certainly draws you in, shocked at your revelations. The camera is the most important feature for me. Which is why I bought a Huawei P40 Pro when they came out. A few months later when the iPhone 12 Pro Max arrived, suddenly Google got in a huff and my most important apps stopped functioning. Gotta love that free market protectionism! So I got the iPhone, its cameras are good, but disappointing when you’ve used Huawei. Shame the camera isn’t more Hassel, I would have had a very serious look at buying one.
Great vid. There is a auto macro mode you can turn off in the e settings to prevent the whole auto switch from happening
Really deep into the review cause i get this phone delivered tomorrow.
Yet the thing that pointed out my attention directly is the TBC Dark portal lmfao!
Thanks for the amazing review, cant wait to have it!
PSA you can disable auto macro in the camera settings
I prefer that awesome looking curved display
I wish they give us 90hz option for best of both worlds
I have the OnePlus 8 right now and so far it's been a stellar phone! Far better than the LG K20 Plus I had for three years. The minute I experienced the 90 Hz refresh rate, I was mind blown! I will note that when I first got it, I had Android 10 and that gave me zero issues. Android 11 made my screen colors look warmer on the lock screen and there are a couple of hiccups here and there when I use split screen. Also whenever I type, you can see the warm colors turn colder which I think looks better. I wanna see how far this phone can carry me but if I'm being honest, I'm eyeing the OnePlus 8T for the 65W charging and 120 Hz as well as the flat screen.
I am so on the fence on this one, in particular because of the camera's heavy lean into the blues. I seems this aspect has been improved in recent updates, but the pictures people are taking still seem a bit colder than I would like. I am choosing between this phone and the pro 8. What makes me most interested in this phone is the performance coupled with the fast charge time. It doesn't help the deliberation process that the 8 pro is on sales in a lot of places right now (like veery on sale), haha.
I chose the 9 oder the pro because of the edges and I just think the $200 more are not worth the pro. I think the 9 is already a luxury phone for quite some money
I treated myself to the upgrade from the Oneplus 7T, which was also very good. Only the camera couldn't quite keep up with the flagships. The last software updates also made camera software a bit worse, at least it seemed like that to me!
The Oneplus 9 Pro is once again a real pleasure. The 120Hz display just slips away, Warp Charge is just awesome, the many little software gimmicks that make OxygenOS so great - so well thought out! And then the new camera! WOW - finally I am photographing what I see with my eyes! Maybe even a little nicer! This first step - working with Hasselblad on color calibration - did Oneplus good! I am simply thrilled with this device!
I just bought this phone (S20 FE 5g was the only alternative as other Samsung phones in EU are using Exynos) - I don't like rounded corners but they disappear with a proper case, it was also easy to buy a uv glue based screen protector (but I'd still like flat screen). I love the quick charge (comparing with my last Samsung and 15W) but miss SD card reader (my previous phones always had it). I still have to get used to new camera but for now it looks good. I've switched launcher to Nova Pro as first screen with news feed was really annoying (and I didn't find a way to remove it). I'm also happy to get rid of Samsung ecosystem with lots of duplicated and unnecessary apps and services.
I own this phone. And it's one of the best flagship phones I've ever owned. I have experienced some qwirks with some camera shots, I've posted pictures pics on social media and you can't really tell weather or not a shot it with this phone or an iPhone. The camera shots are very situational though
I agree 100% with your review. Am also using this phone for more than 70days! I could have said that this is just simply awesome at the price range but I kinda got really annoyed with some bugs in the latest OxygenOS11, especially the gallery application and default launcher. The situation here is my piece is taking around 3/4 seconds to load up the entire icons and widgets in my home screen. It's a drastic thing we could expect from a 12GB variant phone! And also slightly disappointed with the battery draining and stuffs. But as you mentioned we can simply cut of the draining level of we compromise on refresh rate , brightness and also switching on that power saver mode.
how are you not getting more views!!!
i hate the internet sometimes you deserve better!
great work man!
Personally I like the curved edges. To me it feels and looks more “futuristic” lol. Think I might switch from my current phone (IPhone 13 Pro) to this.
Your voice is very easy to listen 2. Great videos mate!
I own an 8 pro and I still love it to this day, is it worth it to upgrade fron 8 Pro to 9 Pro?
New subs buddy
Great review
Great Review!
Also idk if other phones do this or not, but this one uses earpiece speaker for media along with the main speaker so the sound seems to come from the middle of the screen rather than bottom. And on landscape mode, it uses earpiece for left and main for right output giving a nice left-right stereo effect thingy
I wanted to know which would be better for a heavy user one plus 9 pro or s21 plus ?
S21 plus is not at all good for gaming so go for 9 pro
Other wise s21 plus has better camera
So whatever is ur priority
Firstly i have used s21 plus then bought one plus 9 pro.but s21 plus is far far better than one plus9 pro.i shifted back to s21 plus.display,heptic,camera,speed everything is better on s21 plus.
I am using this phone ,n really fed up with the overheating and excessive battery drainage,
The heating is insane indeed, I agree, same for battery...
I'm looking for a new device. After all the dozens of reviews that I've watched containing numerous phones, so far I'm pointing towards the ZTE axon 30 ultra. While it's not the very best, dollar for dollar, it is. I'm currently using a ZTE axon 10 pro and I love it.
Way too many quirks with the axons cameras every one of its sensors has way too many quirky things and anomalies with it I suggest you watch Joshua Vergara's review of it
Not a boring review bro!good job)
Great review
great review !!!
I have the pro in green and i loved it when i got t. Now 3 months in i still love the phone , its super fast , oxegyn os is great and its constant in performance.
The camera overal i like , the ultra wide is indeed a great one , nice crisp shots , ... I am an hairdresser and nowadays we need to get pictures from our customour hair for social media and stuff , thats where this phone camera goes wrong ... when i look at those "hair" pictures they almost look pixelated especialy in the gallery app . i paid 999 euro for this phone so that i was not expecting :(. All in all a realy good phone but i need those "hair" shots and its not getting it done for me . and thats a real bummer for me after paying that price.
I'm surprised it's an issue for you, this camera tends to take excellent photos, were you ever able to resolve this issue, I'm curious 🤔.
@@angela-onesroman8873 no not really. The updates did make it better but sometimes the problem still exist 🤷🏻♂️
Wow, great photo shots!
Man I have to ask what is the skin you used on the phone. Love the look at 1 minute 18 seconds.
Thx for share!
I bought the OnePlus 9 pro for the camera, basically. My last OnePlus device was the OnePlus One, and the OS drove me fucking nuts and I couldn't go back. But answer me this: if you are not an apple fan and refuse to use Samsung (cough Fuck Knox cough), what phone would you choose then? That was my predicament. My prior phone to this was an LG V40, and those cameras severely disappointed me. Hopefully this phone won't!
People hate on this op9pro is from
1. US price . I think in place where op9pro cost same or near 100$ difference samsung and iphone are better but in many countries where op9pro is 500$+ less then samsung and 800$ + less then iphone people still hating it after comparing those is kinda stupid when difference is 10%-15% better but price is 50% - 80% difference...
2. Change in head management of OnePlus ... And big member leaving it .. yeah that did cause huge problem for company and it's slow down many things which lead to problems but I feel OP has been trying to resolve this and I hope they will regain there work force soon... But overall there response and patch up are good they are trying...
Literally the only person I’ve seen mention that the two main cameras were tuned by different groups. Ohhhhhhhh CANAAAAAADA!
Not gonna lie, really want to buy the 9 Pro, with only one issue holding me back. So far I've owned the OP 1, 2, and 6T, and I've had this issue with all of them - when i want to record a video for IG stories the video is terribly slow, and my video looks like a slideshow/PP Presentation, rather than a smooth video. Any advice anyone? I can fix this issue by buying a bitten off apple, but I really wanna stick to Android. Please help por favor.
Which icons are those? They look really good.
Great Job Of Giving
The Pro's And Con's
On Here
I'm so tired of curved displays that I took a step down to get the OnePlus 8T because of the flat display... I'm so glad I did. All displays need to be flat!!
I bought the 8 pro because it was on sale the week the 9 pro came out for $599. Lot of value still there. 8 pro is currently unavailable from oneplus. Looks like they cleared the inventory.
Jared it seems like a very good phone but I would personally go with Find X3 Pro or in my case just keep the X2 Pro. I just can't justify spending a lot of money for any OnePlus or Xiaomi for that matter as they don't have the premium brand status.
And oppo is a premium brand?
@@peterxdr of course it is, especially the Find series.
@@VoloKinProject well in my country, most people only associate premium with Samsung and Apple flagship.
Best wide angle shots to me thanks..
We need this homescreen setup
I literally bought the S21 Ultra and OP9Pro to decide between them. S21 camera is much better, but it's so much heavier and so uncomfortable compared to this phone. This may be my favorite phone to hold, ergonomically. Plus this pine green color is absolutely gorgeous and the finish is grippy enough, yet fingerprint-proof. Returned the S21 Ultra, and haven't looked back.
Agree. Next step is to give bigger phones less weight.
Great review ✔️
those photo samples are BOMB!
Just got mine , at first i had a problem on the oled panel with the greys turning green , in took it to the shop and replaced it with a european version ( no case in the box ) but so far so good no problems at all and ofc fast as hell , only complain is the selfie camera its not as good as the iphone 11 pro i had before but its not a big deal , i also hate how i got used to 120 hz so when i use other phones they feel very laggy and slow . Verdict : the 9 pro is really a good deal for its money ( i got mine 740€)
I ordered a Pro for $616 from Amazon. At that price, is it the best value?
Just bought one because of the Google Pixel 6 Pro ordering and shipping debacle. Maybe next time Google.
I've had mine for 3 days now. My last OnePlus device was the 8pro (which I didn't like). Still think the 7 Pro is their best device, ever.
Enjoying the 9 pro so far and battery is better than expected. Hate that I paid so much for a phone but hey, what's life about lol. Performance is fucking spot on. Camera is good enough for us normal PPL and I have a fine eye.
If I owned an 8 pro I would upgrade
If I still owned the 7 Pro I wouldn't upgrade other than the sub par camera if that's your vibe.
That's, I'll hang on to my 7 pro a little longer.
just stop talking about it as its just your opinion.
they're making changes because of it while not eveyone agree's.............
@Jared Busch You must got a bad sample regarding your SOT. I get 7h+ with QHD+ and 120hz enabled. For me this is the best phone possible for my money. If I could stan Samsungs UI a S21 Ultra could maybe be an option. But the price difference is also 400$ here in Sweden so probably not any way😊
Bro can u suggest a phone with good camera and gaming specs
Audio quality is incredible
I like all about the phone except battery life, even if i'm using it at HD+ resolution and 120hz refresh rate.... i had to install a batery save app called buoy that really helps with battery life draining over night specialy, now i get around 2% loss in battery over night compared to almost 10%... but.... i love the phone, it's awesome
PS: what game is that at 5:46? thanks
Hey, here's an obvious question that no one ever covers in a review. Since it's a PHONE, what's the quality? About camera. OnePlus BOUGHT the Hasselblad name.
Curious of the icon pack you're using in the video. 🙂
Does it have heating issues?
I got the 9 Pro but I have noticed that the phone tends to heat up quite a bit- have you had this issue?
Every phone with snapdragon 888 has that issue.
I got the 9 instead of the Pro. After years of Samsung Galaxy S series phones I find myself really loving this phone. Photography just isn't my thing so the camera's are fine.
These are the comment I been waiting for. I been with Samsung since the s3 s5 s7 and my current s9 that’s starting to have issues and I been wanting to try a Oneplus but haven’t been to sure If it’s the right decision. But after seeing a few comments like yours I feel like Upgrading to the Oneplus 9 regular will be a great experience and it was once my dream phone to own because of the lack of bloat ware compared to a Samsung, I have a good feeling I’m going to enjoy my first Oneplus phone
In my humble opinion portrait pictures is the biggest downside of this camera. Portrait pics taken with GCam are much better: sharper, look more natural and not like oil paintings when you make pics bigger. I am not saying you'll take much better pics with gcam overall but when it comes to this type of photo then yes the difference is night and day.
In general I do consider this camera pretty good although there's still room too improve.
Bro give more time for mobile phones and your chanell will blow up ..
Its underrated .. you deserve more
Waiting for mines to come in
I am upgrading from a OnePlus 7Pro to the 9pro
I wish they kept the pop up camera.
Gonna switch from a p30 pro to a 9 pro because plus one is similar to huawei.
To be honest huawei was the best phone ever.
Tried to replace it with a 12 pro max sent it back could not get used to the crappy apple slow touch response on the screen or the hollow sound from tapping on the screen or the back.
Tried a s21 ultra but hated the cheap feel and the massive amount of crappy compulsory software pre installed.
So sent that back also.
Now hoping one plus is the way forward.
Same thinking, I would also further choose Huawei without hesitation if they had google apps. Oneplus is a good phone as well bet not as refined as Huawei was.
Had the one plus now for a month.
And it can't hold a candle to the Huawei
Too bad that OnePlus is disappointing lately with software updates 😕
Yea this killed it for me.
but why keep updating a solid software experience. There is a fine line between vanilla and bloat.
It's more of the monthly updates and upgrading to the newest android, and also the bugs...I had the OnePlus 8t and it was plagued with bugs and stutters and constantly crashing, brand new as well. I'm with the Google pixel 5 now and the performance is negligible between the 2 besides gaming.
@Albery Flo _rentino (whispers) I use the Pixel 5 as my daily too_
@@JaredBusch 🤣🤣👍
Missed you bruh!
is it possible to choose a refresh rate other than what is specified on the advanced display settings/refresh rate options...
For ex. can I set my screen to refresh at 144 Hz on HP omen 300/60Hz model.?????
no, either 60 or 120
Do you feel like abit delay when you taking shoot? i feel like 0.5s delay after i press the button.
can anyone gimme a link to the wallpaper at 1:55 Ive been trying to find it for about a good hour 💀
Great review and a really big thumbs up for the quality and variety of the Cam shots, sooo much better than the average crap we always get on a review o7 dude, can I just say to everyone moaning about colour changes on lenses.... Get over it, learn to edit in snapseed or lightroom, when you see great pics Anywhere and I mean ANYWHERE by a photographer, as much work goes into editing as goes into planning the shot. Those of us who are Canon, know that Fuji, Nikon etc will have a different tone to the shots, not bad , not good just different, equally 5 different 4 grand lenses will all have their unique qualities, you learn them, and you edit accordingly.
Curved edges 💕💕💕
