Over the past few generations, OnePlus' non-Pro smartphones have often been neglected in favour of the Pro models. The feature disparity between the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro is still the best example to date. Things did improve slightly with the 8 series, but higher prices have also meant that the non-Pro models don't offer as much value for money. With this year's 9 series, OnePlus' much-hyped Hasselblad partnership extends to the OnePlus 9, and isn't limited to the 9 Pro, which is great.

OnePlus 9 Summary

The OnePlus 9 still feels solidly built and the plastic frame does look like metal, even though it's not. The alert slider and buttons have good tactile feedback, similar to the ones on the 9 Pro. The OnePlus 9 has a similar 6.55-inch AMOLED display as the 8T. Software is taken care of by OxygenOS 11, which is based on Android 11.

Performance has been very solid right from the get go thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdraogn 888. The display is excellent – colours are vibrant, brightness is very good, and viewing angles are more than satisfactory. The OnePlus 9 delivers very good battery life; a bit better than the 9 Pro in fact, in my opinion. 

The cameras on the OnePlus 9 are a big upgrade compared to its predecessor's mainly due to better sensors. The selfie camera is the same one used for the OnePlus 9 Pro, and it's decent but not great. The OnePlus 9 is a good smartphone in its own right, but hard to recommend when you have the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and OnePlus 8 Pro selling for around the same price.

  • EXPENSIVE MOBILE WITHOUT SUPPORT AND POOR FEATURES
    Farvestors Agri Ventures (Feb 16, 2022) on Gadgets 360
    It's a shame that One Plus being a premium brand, we are facing silly issues like not connecting to Android Auto in a premium car Like Ford Ecosport I was in a WhatsApp chat with a One Plus executive for more than 2 hours yesterday, without any solutions. His solutions were to format the phone and back-up data as they did not have an option in OnePlus 9 to clear cache. Let me also share how OnePlus as a brand cheats the Indian customers; 1. It's an expensive - premium brand phone without Wireless Charging (whereas it's chinese counterpart has the feature) 2. Does not Support Android Auto in any way 2.a. Hangs / Freezes your Car (Auto) Android Apps b. Does not connect sometimes to Android App c. Disconnects automatically d. Switches on to FM radio automatically when the phone is connected to Android Auto e. Screens in the Car behave erratically by increasing the size of icons/fonts by atleast 10 times f. You would not be able to use any call features (like call conf etc), except bluetooth g. Hassleblad is a farce marketing gimmick. One of the worst cameras. Cheap phones within 10 k has a better camera Mi10T had a superior camera and costs 20k less One of the worst camera for a 55K phone One Plus should be ashamed and can rename itself as One Minus - ideal name Soon we can see them out of India and other places due to their high prices without features, lack of support. This is what happened to Blackberry and Nokia. OnePlus will follow suit Forgot to mention that periodically the phone gets heated frequently. Battery back-up is pathetic. REDMI OFFERINGS NOWADAYS ARE FAR SUPERIOR AT AN UNBEATABLE PRICE ARROGANCE OF ONE PLUS DAYS ARE SOON TO BE OVER

  • All Around Poor
    Donald Brown (Aug 20, 2021) on Gadgets 360
    I ran my business off of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro for two and a half years, and never had an issue ( I put the phone through a full wash cycle in my first month ) . The phone eventually cracked, and the Canadian Government now frownes on Huawei. The OnePlus 9 came highly reccommended from a friend. I purchased one in June 2021. The presentation and branding is stunning. Thats where it stops. The phone feels like its made of plastic. I dropped it once from about a meter up and the screen bubbled. There is a bug in the software which prevents gmail push notifications, so I had to install a third party email software, and the pictures are embarrasilngly poor. The sound quality and fit of the ear buds is wonderful. All in all this is a really low quality phone. I have upgraded to the Mi 11 Ultra, and it does what I would expect a smart phone to do.
