The OnePlus 9 launches with its fair share of bugs—it's not 2020-bad but could be much better. We're also concerned about OnePlus' ongoing slide in update frequency and quality
Should you “settle” for the OnePlus 9 5G over the Pro version? This is the question is posed when I started this review and I feel that I can now answer it. However, it is not a simple answer of yes or now as it is more complicated than that.I can envisio...
Fantastic screen, Powerful components, Super fast charging, Oxygen OS
Colour options limited by specs, No IP rating, Chunky with divisive finish, Camera issues
There's a lot to like about the OnePlus 9 with its stunning 120Hz AMOLED display and powerful components for starters. Still at a reasonable price, even if it is more than its predecessor.It also has wireless charging and when using wired, Warp Charge 65T...

super slick, long battery, top performance, good 120Hz screen, good software, speedy charging, fast fingerprint scanner, alert slider, good camera, lower cost
only three years of software support, camera can oversharpen images, no optical zoom, screen glass not the toughest available, no waterresistance rating, plastic frame
The OnePlus 9 has taken the firm somewhat back to its “upstart” roots, offering a top-flight experience for significantly less money than premium smartphone rivals.But to do so the company has cut corners that it hasn't resorted to in the past, such as us...

Good for gaming, Detailed picture performance, Decent built-in speakers,
Screen could be subtler, Flat audio performance,
There aren't many smartphones that offer so much screen real estate at this price. The fact that it's such an involving picture performance is a compelling reason to buy the OnePlus 9.Our doubts are mostly on the audio side, as some rival phones make musi...
Super fast charging,Fluid, smooth 120Hz display,Fast performance,
No MicroSD card slot, The glass back is prone to marks, Could have a better battery life,
The OnePlus 9 is the perfect combination of speed and beauty in a flagship smartphone, with a slightly more accessible price tag. Building on its predecessor with more impressive specs and a much better camera system, OnePlus has knocked it out of the par...
Upgraded camera system,Wireless charging (yey!),Warp Charge is even faster,120Hz display and Snapdragon 888
Plastic frame and chunky build,Wireless charging maxes out at 15W,No official water- or dust-resistance rating
The OnePlus 9 design may not have wowed us that much, but this company knows its users are all about getting the best performance out of every area of its phones.So if cutting corners and adding in a plastic frame means being able to stick two flagship ca...
Well calibrated screen that's perfect for gamers and movie fans, Solid camera with an advanced pro mode for tinkerers, Outstanding, future proof performance,
Lack of variable refresh rate means the screen eats up battery in its highest setting, Camera's image processing can be a little heavy handed,
The OnePlus 9 is a fantastic phone, with a screen that's tailor-made for gamers and people who regularly stream movies on their mobile. However, the fact its screen doesn't feature a variable refresh rate panel puts it a step behind some rivals when it co...
Serious uptick in performance, Colour-accurate screen
Better options for less money, Battery life drop, Hasselblad partnership disappoints
You might be familiar with OnePlus as a brand with a trusted heritage of launching well-priced flagship alternatives, but the OnePlus 9's new starting price is much too stomach-churning for my tastes. Especially when you consider the long list of terrific...

Decent 120Hz display, Strong camera, OxygenOS is slick
Design has taken a backwards step, Not as cheap as it used to be, No OIS on camera
OnePlus has shuffled its priorities a little with the OnePlus 9, giving with one hand whilst taking away with the other, all at a slightly higher price than before. It looks and feels a little less premium than the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8T, but its di...
