Great phone. I upgraded both my wife's and my own phone. The value is extraordinary. It is refreshing to get a new phone that isn't loaded with useless bloat-wear. The return to the flat screen is a welcomed feature (we traded up from 7t's) Charging is incredibly fast. I highly recommend this phone

When I buy a phone for my own use, I usually go big since I have hands and pockets that can handle big phones. However, there are definitely people who like a smaller and more pocketable phone, so it's great to see OnePlus offer the OnePlus 9 that is priced $240 less than the flagship OnePlus 9 Pro.

Speedy performance, Really fast wired charging, Wireless charging (finally!), Upgraded cameras are good, Vibrant and fluid display

Plastic frame and chunky build, Wireless charging maxes out at 15W, No official water- or dust-resistance rating

True, it’s not the absolute best in any one category, but the OnePlus 9 stays true to its heritage by giving you a flagship-like experience without breaking the bank.

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

The OnePlus 9 is very, very similar to the OnePlus 9 Pro. Today we’re going to decide if it’s worth buying one over the other – and if it’s time to upgrade from an older OnePlus device.

The OnePlus 9 is a very nice smartphone that convinces with a great OLED display, good battery life, and very smooth performance. However, in our opinion, the premium smartphone lacks a bit of progress within the model series.
