OnePlus 9 256GB Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

3.5/5

Kshitij Pujari
by  Kshitij Pujari , 23 Mar 2021

Verdict

The OnePlus 9 delivers in almost all aspects of a flagship smartphone experience which includes performance, camera, battery, and display. What bugs me is the pricing of the OnePlus 9. The phone lacks some true-blue flagship features like an official IP-rating and wireless charging. The Hasselblad partnership might not have borne the fruit I was expecting, as the new Sony sensors already take care of most photography improvements. I think the OnePlus 9 could have been a perfect budget killer if it had been priced better, but it does seem it`s priced on the higher side given it lacks some flags... Read Full Verdict

The OnePlus 9 delivers in almost all aspects of a flagship smartphone experience which includes performance, camera, battery, and display. What bugs me is the pricing of the OnePlus 9. The phone lacks some true-blue flagship features like an official IP-rating and wireless charging. The Hasselblad partnership might not have borne the fruit I was expecting, as the new Sony sensors already take care of most photography improvements. I think the OnePlus 9 could have been a perfect budget killer if it had been priced better, but it does seem it`s priced on the higher side given it lacks some flagship features like an IP rating and wireless charging. 

    Pros

  • Best-in-class performance
  • Great daylight photography
  • Fast 65W charging
  • Smooth 120Hz screen

    Cons

  • Nighttime shots need improvement
  • No wireless charging or IP rating
  • Priced on the higher side
