Ok, so you’re probably wondering why it’s cheap considering the specs and I’ll be honest I have absolutely no idea because this phone competes with the Samsung S21 Ultra, which is 2x the price. As usual I was hesitant to buy because of a few not so good reviews, but I’m convinced they are left by people who are unable to set up a phone correctly. First of all, the phone comes as FHD+ as default, you need to change the display settings to QWHD to get that beautiful sharp display. And let me say, the display is absolutely stunning, sharp, beautiful colour production, amazingly smooth 120hz refresh rate that is immediately noticeable, and the screen also has software accelerated motion smoothing which further adds to the silky smooth video production. I purchased the 128gb 8gb version and the phone is actually extremely fast, sometimes it takes me by surprise!! Runs some more visually demanding games buttery smooth. The phone itself feels premium quality in the hand and the back is a thing of beauty, especially in the colour morning mist. The camera lenses are large and look really pleasing to the eye. Battery life is 4/5 BUT, This is a big BUT.. You have no idea how fast this phone charges. 30 mins to 100% and it’s not spec sheet lies. It really does charge faster than anything I’ve ever witnessed! Amazing for people who use their phone a lot and wish to charge for a little bit after heavy use, 10 mins will easily charge to 30% Moving to the camera itself, if you are unfamiliar with Hassleblad whom collaborated with OnePlus to create the camera system create very high end medium format cameras. As a photographer with 20 years experience I definitely have a valid opinion of it’s performance, the cameras are really great in well lit situations, with great colour reproduction, sharp images with great clarity. Low light is harder to get a sharp image but that can be corrected with a little tripod. My only gripe would probably be the shutter time, I’ve had phone’s that are faster but as a landscape photographer this isn’t a problem. The selfie camera is good and produces a bookah effect, although it’s software produced, this is still not good enough to retire your DSLR! The operating system is android obviously but the oxygen OS mod that oneplus produced is by far my favorite, it’s easy to use, plenty of customisation options and definitely has a one up on samsung. Overall, I’m still in shock at the price for such a phone.. have they messed up the pricing? Aha. Want my opinion? Just buy it, I’m literally over the moon with it. Hope this helped you decide. My apologies if I missed anything out. 47 people found this helpful

Review from OnePlus 6 owner. True flagship experience. Getting all of the flagship features that have been missing in previous generations. Picked up on discount for £ 620. While the 9 Pro is a lot more expensive than OnePlus’s previous devices (especially at RRP). It’s great value when picked up on sale as it’s close to being as good as a S21 Ultra while undercutting it by over £ 300 even when that phone was on its best discount too. OnePlus phones are on sale more often now since the brands popularity has grown and the phone is now available at multiple retailers in the UK. Back in OnePlus 6 days the phone was almost never on sale so even though the devices are more expensive now, you can still pick them up for around £ 450-650 when on heavy discount half a year later. (Especially for non Pro model). At these discounted prices I feel like they might even offer more value then the previous OnePlus phones did at the £ 500 RRP. I’ve listed some of the main pros and cons that I’ve experienced below. Pros: – Amazing bright & smooth screen – Great performance – Clean software – Elegant design, Stellar Black colour looks super stealth – Very good rear cameras especially ultra wide. No fish eye effect. Good detail and dynamic range. Video in artificial light surprisingly good also even at high resolution & high framerates due to large camera sensor. – 8k video good for future proofing. But I think 4k video is a lot more consistent and what should be used instead. – Loud and clear stereo speakers. – High quality vibration motor adds better haptic feedback. Both this and the stereo speakers are massive upgrades from older OnePlus devices. – Great that the phone still comes with a charging brick in the box. Very Fast wired and wireless charging. I timed a 5%-100 wired charge in 27minutes. This changes the way you use a phone. Such a great feature! Cons: – Fingerprint sensor placement isn’t the best. Would prefer it to be a bit higher up on the screen. – Speed and reliability of indisplay fingerprint sensor Isn’t as good as rear mounted OnePlus 6 one. Still very quick and good especially for indisplay sensor. Surprised how good these are. Minor con. – Front camera not as high end as competitors. – Battery life is an A- not A+. I get around 6-7 hours screen on time running phone at 1440p 120Hz. This depends on your usage habits so can vary for different users. 10 people found this helpful

All-round brilliant experience! The battery – lasts a very good amount of time, for a phone with such a great screen, it lasts above 5 hours of continuous use with 120hz and 1080p. I found the battery going from 95-1% in 5 hours of screen time and 16 hours uptime. The cameras – are really good, a bit lacklustre in some departments but honestly can be easily fixed with software tuning. The Hasselblad Collab brings an interesting choice of colouring that makes for a sometimes odd-looking image but in good lighting this camera is Grade A! Not to mention the night mode and low light pictures are phenomenal. However again I think a software update would be needed for video performance in low light. The screen – is one of, if not, the BEST screen on any phone right now! It rivals the S21 Ultra! It’s bright, clear and filled with great colouring. Watching IMAX Disney Plus films in 1440 mode and 120hz is a magnificent experience. Not to mention, the speakers are very very good and deliver good surround sound in landscape mode! As for the overall software experience – it’s classic OnePlus and they do deliver on that simple but customisable experience. Come Android 12 and OxygenOS 12 (OnePlus’ Software) we are going to need to see some fine-tuning. As for when that happens? This phone will most likely be a no brainer, a brilliant phone and I hope to return to say all polished. There really isn’t much to improve it’s just minor bugs and inconsistencies (such as a sometimes inconsistent Bluetooth experience, I’ve seen devices a year old+ perform difficulty but a brand new set of earbuds work fine! Connectivity is the only real issue). An all-around brilliant phone experience, ESPECIALLY for the price, and soon I’m sure to be an excellent experience! If you can grab this device cheaper than launch price when the 10 series release, then do by any means possible! 8.5/10 phone when compared to the high-end flagships, with the potential to be 10/10!

Well this is my first oneplus phone so I wasn’t sure what to expect. After a few months of using this phone I realise that this phone is is good for money. So the positives to me have been the super fast charging (60w). This is perfect for those days when I forget to put my phone on charge and 30-minutes later I have 100% battery. With a Full battery lasting a day and a half which is fantastic. One of the other advantage this phone has is it’s dual SIM. I didn’t realise that when I bought the phone as it comes in handy if you have an additional SIM or on holiday. The operating system is a delight to use and has more custom features than the normal Samsung. The camera is great but not fantastic. It still has a few teething software issues which I’m sure will be rectified in the future. I am not a big camera user so it doesn’t bothe me. One feature that I haven’t been able to try is the 5G. This is because the area where I live currently doesn’t have any coverage. Not sure if the 5G will affect battery life as well. 4 people found this helpful

This is a killer phone for the price I got it at (£660). But at full price, I’d be a little conflicted. It’s super fast, thanks to the snappy processor, and has a very nice camera. Other phone do better in the selfie department but on the rear-camera, with the recent software updates OPlus has made, the “Hasselblad” is a little more than a simple logo slapped on the back. Still not what they hyped but pretty nice. I’m loving the XPAN mode and the photos are extremely crisp, not over saturated, and overall very nice. I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S10 and even from that, there are some Samsung features I sorely miss. TL;DR – Mostly gaming related. 1. There’s no customisable quick access app tab that Samsung has. It literally holds all my frequent apps perfectly which I can swipe to bring up on the side of my home screen. 2. Game launcher settings. In Samsung’s, I could mute “Game Sound”, meaning all games would be muted, at any time. No having to go into settings for each individual game, which you can only do from the home page of the game anyway. With muting game sound, I could do it at any time and play my own music or podcasts over it etc. This is REALLY needed. 3. Screen lock for gaming. It would dim the screen and touch lock it while the game kept running at a lower FPS in the back so conserve battery. – OnePlus has it’s own game launcher so these features are definitely ones it could implement. 3. Secure Folder by Samsung is amazing. It’s essentially a sandbox, any app can be put in there, and it will have it’s own secure version without hiding or removing the main app. This means you can have a second camera, gallery, files, folders, broswer, games WHATEVER inside there, secure locked. Allows for simple, yet effective sandbox cloning or securely keeping files safe, without have multiple apps for different things. The closest thing functionality wise would be apps which clone your entire phone, but it kills your battery. Secure Folder doesn’t. It’s a patented Samsung tech though so I don’t expect OP to have anything soon.

I don’t understand why so many OnePlus haters seem to want to dis this phone! My first OnePlus was a 7Pro which I had from launch day and really loved it, awesome phone. I waited 2.5 years to upgrade to a 9Pro and really pleased with it too. The screen on the 7Pro was awesome, but the 9Pro is even better with super dark blacks and really crisp. I held off on the Android 12 upgrade until the latest C44 upgrade and I’ve had zero issues with that too. The phones performance is awesome, nothing stutters or lags, great screen, great camera, 65W charging is crazy quick… I don’t like charging to 100% to protect the battery life and it charges so quickly most time it’s at 100% before I realise, having only left it for 20 mins or so! The irony also is battery life is less of a concern because it charges so quickly, but I get 2-3 days between charges so it’s not an issue for me, but I don’t game or watch video on the phone so my screen on time is pretty low in comparison to those use cases. The only area of concern for me was the camera bulge but I bought lens protectors for the glass and a protector which fits around the bulge (ie flattens out the gaps between the lenses) and I’m happier now about not scratching/ damaging the lens glass. Oh, and maybe the green colour isn’t the best compared to the blue of the 7Pro, but nothing a different case can’t fix! OK so I did pick the 265GB version up at a great price (under £700) so maybe those who paid over £900 feel aggrieved, and maybe I’ve been lucky waiting as hardware / software / OS updates have been largely ironed out. For the right price it’s an awesome phone IMHO. I was looking at an S21 Ultra 255GB but at almost half the price the 9Pro is no way half the phone…. All it lacks is the S21s super zoom, everything else is the same as far as I can tell… So, after just over 2 months of daily use I’m super pleased with my OnePlus 9Pro. 16 people found this helpful

Holy Drone, this thing is expensive. With that out of the way, let’s see why it’s worth it. I used to be quite happy flying my DJI Spark with my phone and don’t ever recall the screen dimming even on hot days. That changed, for whatever reasons, when I upgraded to the DJI Air 2S and the genuine scare of having the screen on my Samsung Note – previously impeccable with the Spark – dim to the point of being barely visible one sunny day, made me decide to investigate an alternative. I looked at loads of tablets, but they all seemed to suffer the same problem. The RC Pro launched, but the price immediately ruled it out for me – just couldn’t justify it. I ended up getting a great deal on the Tripltek 8 Pro tablet, which was fantastic in terms of performance, but man was it top heavy and I still had the same faff of setting it up with RC-N1 controller – cables, brackets etc. But it was still way better than my phone. After a few months, I happened to view the RC Pro here on Gadget Tree again and was given the option to spread the cost over 12 months. As hard as I’d fought against what I still believed was a silly price, I finally caved, sold my Tripltek 8 and pumped for the RC Pro. And I couldn’t be happier. Setup, from turning the controller / drone on to being in the air, is significantly quicker that any RC-N1 option I’d tried before, range and consistency of signal and video feed seem a lot better, screen is fantastic and the extra controls mean I rarely ever have to take my hands from the sticks now. From changing exposure to being able to tilt and zoom the camera at the same time (plus LOTS more), I can’t overstate how much better of a flight experience you get with the RC Pro. Yes, you need to have a phone / hotspot device with you for live maps, but I always have mine with me anyway so that’s not really changed anything in terms of my operations, and the rewards detailed above far outweigh that minor inconvenience, if it even is an inconvenience. If you fly for producing anything remotely creative (no-pun intended) with your DJI drone, swallow hard, save your pennies, and admit defeat. You just won’t find a better option. And one day – just one day – you may well think it’s worth every penny. Like me. 4 people found this helpful
