OnePlus 9 Pro with Hasselblad tuned camera delivers across the board...

The OnePlus 9 Pro is yet another great-performing, well-made smartphone from the Chinese brand. At £829 it still undercuts the competition on RRP, but not significantly with the frequent discounts for Samsung’s Galaxy S21 series and others available online.

Pros: Slick performance, good software, good battery life, speedy charging, great screen, solid camera, water resistance.

Cons: Only three years of software support, camera can over-sharpen images, screen glass not the toughest available.

I strongly recommend this phone for those on earlier version of OnePlus smartphones from before 2020. These users will notice a big jump in experience and features, especially with the camera and screen.

Beautiful and fast display; Amazingly fast charging capabilities; Ultra-wide camera improvements;

Price continues to climb; Hasselblad partnership doesn't offer much -- yet; Inconsistent batter performance;

The OnePlus 8 Pro launched in April 2020, and is only now being replaced by the OnePlus 9 Pro. A year in OnePlus world is an absolute age, as the company has usually released a refreshed “T” model six months into a model’s life span. But that’s not the case with the 8 Pro. All this extra time should mean that the OnePlus 9 Pro is something really special, right? It’s the first OnePlus phone released in partnership with super-expensive camera brand Hasselblad, which has lent its expertise to the OnePlus 9 Pro’s camera, and that certainly sounds special. But otherwise, the OnePlus 9 Pro looks to be as dependable as we expect from OnePlus, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but can being dependable also be exciting? Let’s get into more detail. If you’re interested in the OnePlus 9, which is cheaper but not as technically capable as the 9 Pro, read our in-depth review. Less sharp-edged, considerably shinier, and more than a little weightier, the OnePlus 9 Pro has a very different look an...

All the power you could want; A stunning screen; Very fast wired and wireless charging; Reliable, smooth, and quick software;

Hasselblad involvement isn't that noticeable; At $969, it faces serious flagship competition;

The OnePlus 9 Pro takes its place as one of the best smartphones on the planet.

Truly excellent display, in every way, Stellar performance, Incredible fast wired & wireless charging, Good build quality, Solid stereo speakers & audio performance, OxygenOS is as good as ever, Tactile buttons, Camera bump isn't huge, Great fingerprint scanner, Charger included (yes, that's a win...

Camera performance should be better, No microSD card slot, Battery life is good, but not great

Prior to writing up this review, I spent some time talking about how the Android landscape in the US at the ultra high-end level of phone has shrunk down to just two players: Samsung and OnePlus. You have Samsung’s Ultra phones in both S and Note lines, and then you have whatever the new Pro...

The OnePlus 9 Pro is a great phone overall, and you should definitely consider it if you’re eyeing up a new Android flagship. As far as display quality and performance goes, it’s simply one of the very best around.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is a good phone, but it’s certainly not a great one, with a compromised camera and clunky design. Strong specs and fast charging help make the case for the 9 Pro, but for the first time rival flagships deliver consistently better value.

Strong specs; Great display; Fast charging; OxygenOS;

Disappointing camera; Clunky design; Out-priced by rivals;

The OnePlus 9 Pro offers phenomenal performance, a vastly superior camera to the brand’s previous smartphones, and a variety of top-end features that make this a serious contender for anyone who’s in the market for a premium Android handset. It won’t be for everyone though as the price is high for this smartphone.

The best OnePlus camera phone; Great power; Premium design;

High price; No microSD support; Middling battery life
