Oneplus 9 Pro Dual SIM 5G (8GB RAM, 256GB, Pine Green) - BRAND NEW review

I feel like a slowly boiled frog with OnePlus' constant price increases. This year it particularly hurts, since Samsung lowered the prices of its flagship lineup by $200 as OnePlus went up $70. Even though the final phone is pretty good, OnePlus is offering less value than ever.

The silky-smooth 120Hz display., 65W Warp Charging. Powering up a phone from 0 to full in a half-hour is incredible., A good software package with minimal apps and changes., A very attractive camera block.

Samsung-style pricing only gives OnePlus a ~$30 advantage., No Wi-Fi 6E. The 6GHz wireless revolution will have to wait., Distorted, curved display on the 9 Pro, The macro camera is way worse on the OnePlus 9 Pro. The 8 Pro takes better close-up pictures.

OnePlus fans should look at the 9 Pro, but unless you really really care about camera specs the price might be hard to swallow.

Hasselblad helps the camera compete for the crown, 120 Hz screens are nice, Solid build quality, Fastest charge in the west

Oxygen OS is a little buggier than competitors, Camera is sometimes inconsistent, Glossy back is a dust and fingerprint magnet, OnePlus 9 isn't waterproof

While I have enjoyed using OnePlus flagship phones over the past couple of years, the comparable flagship phone from Samsung had a few more bells and whistles that convinced me to spend the extra money and use a Samsung as my daily driver.

Fast performance, Extremely fast wired and wireless charging, Volume mode switch, Advanced multiple cameras, No bloatware or ads

None

Good value, strong performance, solid battery life, big jump in camera quality, excellent build, upgraded displays, still has the alert slider

No 5G support for unlocked models on AT&T, boring design, weak haptics, unlocked models don't have IP68 certification, no headphone jack
