The OnePlus 9 aims to correct the most obvious flaw of the company’s previous flagship models’ cameras using specialized hardware and software, with assistance from Hasselblad. Unfortunately, its lack of a telephoto lens and other bells and whistles makes it challenging to compete with the alternatives. Thankfully, it makes up for many weaknesses like performance, screen, and charging.
Design and Display of OnePlus 9
Even though it is made of plastic, the OnePlus 9 still feels well-built, and the plastic frame does appear like metal. The sole bright point is that it weighs 183g less and is 8.1mm thinner than the 9 Pro and the 8T. Similar to the 9 Pro, the alert slider & buttons give a superb tactile feel.
The front and rear of the phone still feature Corning Gorilla Glass, thanks to OnePlus. A USB Type-C connector, dual-SIM tray, and speaker are located at the bottom. The OnePlus 9 has a 6.55-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio, and a screen resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels.
Price and Availability of OnePlus 9
Price ranges for the phone range from $607.3 for the 8GB+128GB edition to $668.03 for the 12GB + 256GB option. Winter Mist, Arctic Sky, and Astral Black are offered in three colors. Starting on April 15, the smartphone will be available in India through OnePlus.in Amazon and offline retailers all around the country.
Performance of OnePlus 9
Day-to-day performance with the OnePlus 9 seems quicker than ever, as you’d expect from a phone with a high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and a 120Hz display. Apps open quickly, web page scrolling looks excellent and is incredibly responsive, and the device can handle whatever you throw at it, even intense 3D gaming.
The decreased weight and thickness contribute to a better in-hand feel, while the flat display eliminates inadvertent touches. In addition, the earpiece and bottom speaker provide an excellent stereo impression, and the volume level is enough.
The camera of the OnePlus 9
The OnePlus 10 Pro’s primary camera can shoot in 4K resolution at 30fps, 60fps, or 120fps. All three resolutions offer good detail levels, and the color and dynamic range performance are comparable to still photos.
Battery life
The OnePlus 9 features a massive 4,500mAh battery that should last the day, albeit there are other premium phones with greater batteries.
The actual advantage of the OnePlus 9 is its charging speed. The packaging includes the Warp Charge 65T charger, which charges the phone 100% in under 30 minutes.
Conclusion
The OnePlus 9 is expected to appeal primarily to brand enthusiasts. It has the same design, Hesselbrand branding, and other advertised features as the more costly OnePlus 9 Pro, including a 120Hz display and ultra-fast charging. It’s as near as you can get without spending money on the 9 Pro. However, fans will have to accept compromises in the camera arrangement and construction materials in return for the lower pricing.
