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,

Serious uptick in performance, Colour-accurate screen
Better options for less money, Battery life drop, Hasselblad partnership disappoints

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...

Great specs for the cost, Good camera, Fast battery recharging
