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 just can't catch a break these days — and it's pretty much the company's own fault. Right on the heels of a praiseworthy update commitment extension that had us excited to increase our review score, news drops that OnePlus has been throttling some of the most popular apps to better manage...

Screen Smooth, bright, accurate colors, and generally uniform — it's a good display., Updates OnePlus extended its update promise to three years of OS upgrades and four years of security patches, making it one of the category-leading options., Speed Among the fastest phones you can buy right now.

Update quality The company has a dubious record for prompt OS updates with a history of buggy releases and an inconsistent release cycle at times. And sometimes those updates reduce...

The OnePlus 9 Pro is a legitimate flagship phone that is genuinely competitive with the best Android phones on the market — at least from a features and quality perspective. Yet in terms of market and mind share, it’s still destined to be a niche device for a small group of enthusiasts looking for a...

Great screen, Elegant software, Fast charging

Camera can overprocess images, Digital zoom is weak, No 5G on AT&T, awaiting Verizon 5G certification

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

Last year’s OnePlus 8 Pro was a departure for the company. It marked a more expensive, more premium phone than previous OP (OnePlus) models. The 9 Pro is an expansion of this philosophy, packing better cameras and more high-end features than ever before.

Crazy fast, Big, beautiful display, The best cameras ever in a OnePlus phone, Stupid-fast charging (wired and wireless)

The telephoto lens isn't great, Battery life is hit and miss, Fast wireless charger is a costly add-on

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

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.

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 brings the flagship fight to Apple and Samsung's door. Does it compete at the very top?...
