At $729, the OnePlus 9 is noticeably more expensive than older OnePlus phones. But it also packs the kind of specs you’d see in a $1,000 flagship phone. So, what do you say to a phone that costs less than a flagship but runs like one? I think you say, “Yes, Please.

Top Tier specs for less than top tier money, Flat screen!, Super fast wired charging

No OIS or laser focus, No telephoto lens, Fingerprint magnet

OnePlus 9R was launched in 2021 as an alternative for those looking for a flagship OnePlus device at an affordable price. It was then seen as OnePlus’s answer to the rising cost of its devices.

Performance, Battery life, Subtle design

Super fast charging, Fluid, smooth 120Hz display, Fast performance

Despite of being an "old" cellphone (one year since OP release), this is a great cellphone. Camera is OK (portrait mode is not as good as other cellphone cameras), baterry is good and cellphone performance is excellent.

It might not hit the heights of the OnePlus 9 Pro, but the OnePlus 9 offers equivalent performance for considerably less money. The level of compromise mitigation here is really quite remarkable.
