Отзывы о Смартфон OnePlus 9 Pro

The phone is really amazing. Loved the camera and its clarity. Perfect for one plus lovers and you dont need filters for pictures it is absolutely stunning the way pics turn out with its functions. Strongly recommended.

Nowhere mentioned it has an UK charger plug instead of an european one.

Mein bestes Smartphone das ich jeh besessen habe war das OnePlus One, die Software war perfekt auf das Gerät abgestimmt und der Preis war unschlagbar. Hier beim OnePlus 9Pro scheint es das genaue Gegenteil zu sein, die Kamera des Gerätesund der Display sind sehr gut, allerdings lässt alles andere ziemlich zu wünschen übrig. Die Software hat immernoch unzählige bugs, Android Auto funktioniert nicht richtig, das Gerät überhitzt oft ohne Grund, die Performance in spielen ist oft schlechter als bei vergleichbaren Smartphones dieser Preisklasse und nach 4 Monaten musste ich das Gerät bereits einsenden weil es ständig ohne Grund ausgegangen ist. Der Fehler war anscheinend die Hauptplatine .... Bei der Reparatur hat man mir dann auch noch Kratzer in dem Rahmen gemacht. Der Bug besteht manchmal noch liegt diesmal aber wohl an der Software. Ich würde vom Kauf abraten und das Geld lieber für ein Anderes Smartphone ausgeben.

Nachdem ich von einem Huawei auf das 9pro umstieg, ich mich vorher lange informierte und letzt endlich dafür entschied, ist es nach jetzigem Stand eine Fehlentscheidung gewesen!

PREIS/LEISTUNG, selbst für einen Sonderpreis von 800€ Note 5

Mit Android 11 war ich schon nicht sonderlich zufrieden. Die Akkuleistung ist schlecht (mindestens einmal nachladen pro Tag), die Camera und Möglichkeiten (Vergleich zu meinem Huawei P30pro) miserabel.
Nach dem Upgrade auf ein völlig unfertiges Android 12, nur noch Probleme, Akku noch schneller entleert, einige Apps (z. B. Alexa) gehen nicht oder nicht mehr richtig. Oftmals Hänger.
Die Community nur in Englisch und unübersichtliche und unverständliche Infos zu Updates, OnePlus Apps... Da blickt man nicht mehr durch. Das macht alles keinen Spaß. Das Huawei war um Längen besser. Überlege aktuell den 2,5 Jahre alten Akku zu tauschen, es zu reaktivieren und das OnePlus zu verkaufen.
Gibt es nicht bald eine wesentliche Verbesserung eines Updates, dann überlege ich sogar eine Wandlung zu beantragen. Ein weiteres OnePlus wird es nicht geben. Huawei war um Welten besser.
Setzen 6

Update:
Aktuelle Probleme mit Apps:
Amazon Alexa funktioniert nicht
Uhr / Wecker erscheint oft nicht auf dem Bildschirm zum Stumm- oder Ausschalten,
Radio Apps hören immer wieder nach wenigen Sekunden auf zu spielen.
In einer App öffnet sich die Tastatur nicht.
Beim Display drehen ordnet sich der Bildschirm manchmal nicht mehr ordentlich.

2. Update (genervt)
Weil ich aktuell 2 mal am Tag nachladen muss, habe ich die Auflösung des Displays und die Wiederholrate auf ein minimum eingestellt. Hier verliert man einiges an Performance. Mal sehen ob der Akku wenigsten länger hält.
Die letzten Tage wurde das Teil auch immer wieder mal ziemlich warm. Was wird das im Sommer. Der Finger Sensor reagiert nur auf einen Finger, obwohl mehrere angelernt wurden. Ab und zu friert das Handy komplett ein... Man sieht dann beim Versuch es zu aktivieren nur einen weißen Bildschirm. Lässt sich nur mit dem Einstecken des Ladegerät wieder beseitigen, aber das hat man bei der miesen Akku Performance ja eh immer dabei...

Liebes OnePlus Team, ich hoffe in eurem Interesse, dass ihr schnellst möglich auch für das EU Modell ein ordentliches Update bereitstellt. Für die vielen OnePlus Apps erstellt mal eine ordentliche Übersicht. Aktuell blickt man doch da nicht mehr durch....

Nach dem bei meinem Mate 20 Pro das Display gebrochen und eine Reparatur nicht gerade wirtschaftlich ist, musste ich mich nach drei Jahren für eine neues Smartphone entscheiden.
Wichtig war mir:
Wasserdicht, induktives Laden, Dual SIM, gute Kamera, großer Speicher und google Apps.
Meine erste Wahl war das P40Pro aber durch das Verbot google nutzen zu dürfen, viel meine Wahl auf das Oneplus 9 Pro.
Das Smartphone an sich ist ausgezeichnet.
Schönes Display, schneller Prozessor, auch Apps, die bei meinem alten Mate 20 Pro Probleme hatten (Benachrichtigungen, Ausführung im Hintergrund etc.) laufen problemlos. Auch der Fingerabdrucksensor funktioniert zuverlässig (war bei meinem Mate nicht immer gegeben).
Schön ist zweifelos der ausgeblendete Bereich.
Alles in allem ein tolles Handy. Nur was mich enttäuscht ist die Qualität der Bilder. Da bin ich von Huawei deutlich besseres gewohnt.
Der (digitale) Zoom ist eine Katastrophe und gerade bei nicht optimalen Lichtverhältnissen sind die Bilder pixelig und unscharf.
Fototechnisch, bin ich der Meinung, bleiben die TopHandys von Huawei unerreicht.
Dennoch überwiegen die positiven Eigenschaften, so dass eine Rücksendung nicht in Frage kommt.
Dennoch würde ich beim nächsten Mal wieder ein Huawei in Betracht ziehen und hoffen, dass das Embargo bis dahin aufgehoben wurde.

Seit November 2021 habe ich das OnePlus 9 Pro (LE2123), inzwischen mit Android 12, Software-Build C.44. Android Smartphones sowie beruflich iPhones habe ich seit zig Jahren, vor allem mit den Huawei-Androids immer zufrieden. Nachdem hierfür ja leider der "Google-Bann" gilt, habe ich alternativ und aufgrund der vielen sehr guten Bewertungen, auch in Fachpublikationen wie der c't, erstmals zu OnePlus - und ich sag's gleich - und ins Klo gegriffen :-(

Zunächst, was spricht für's OnePlus 9 Pro:
+ sehr gute Hardware Verarbeitung, nix wackelt, auch die OnePlus Besonderheit, der Schiebeschalter für stumm/vibrieren/Ton an rastet sauber ein (ABER: wenn er denn funktioniert - mit der vorherigen Software-Version war sogar das ein Problem, ohne Grund ging bei Schalterstellung "Ton an" das Smartphone in den "stumm" Modus!)
+ großes, helles Display (ABER: neigt zum Flackern, schaltet sich gelegentlich nicht an und zieht Akku ohne Ende!)
+ sehr zuverlässiger Fingerabdruck-Sensor
+ Telefonie-Funktion ist spitze, hervorragende Verbindung, egal ob mit Mobilfunk oder im heimischen WLAN, die beste Anrufer-Verständlichkeit aller Smartphones, die ich bisher hatte

Dafür wäre eine Top-Wertung gerechtfertigt, auch unter Berücksichtigung der oben genannten Bugs. Ich denke, an dieser Stelle hören die meisten Tests auf und daher der sehr gute Ruf der Marke bzw. die vorher angeführten Spitzentestergebnissse.

Neutral, weil Geschmackssache:
+- das gebogene Display erschwert Aufbringen eines Schutzglases, überhaupt gibt es für das "Pro" wesentlich weniger Zubehör wie Schutzhüllen oder Displayabdeckungen, als für die "normale" Ausführung

Im Alltag fallen aber immer mehr Probleme auf. Die unter Android 11 sind durch das Update auf Android 12 größtenteils gelöst, jedoch durch andere und sogar noch mehr Probleme ersetzt. Hier nur eine Auswahl:
- Akkuverbrauch ist exorbitant hoch (ja, das schnelle Aufladen in gut 30 Minuten ist super, funktioniert aber nur mit dem mitgelieferten Ladegerät; mit einem QC3-Ladegerät dauert's Stunden lang). Hierzu ist anzumerken, dass der Akku anfangs "lernt", d.h. nicht genutzte Apps werden gedrosselt oder geschlossen, auch ist der Verbrauch unter Android 12 etwas geringer, also unter 11. Akku hält nun 1 1/2 Tage, anfangs knapp 1 Tag (in den genannten Tests ist allerdings von mind. 2 Tagen Laufzeit die Rede ...)
- Display, oje: ab und zu flackerts, gerne bleibt es auch mal schwarz, Helligkeitsregelung wie früher bei den ersten Smartphones mit Autohelligkeit, neigt also zum "pumpen" - beschämend! Außerdem geht die Kamerafunktion beim Abschalten oft an und aber dafür wird bei ankommenden Anrufen die Displaysperre aktiv. Unglaublich!
- Apps funktionieren nicht oder unzureichend; ich weiß, vieles hängt mit der Akkuoptimierung zusammen, aber genau die ignoriert sämtliche Einstellungen
- die eigentlich modernere System Navigation mit Gestensteuerung hängt andauernd, aber auch bei der Android-typischen "Tastensteuerung" mit "Home", "zurück", "alle Anwendungen" lassen sich letztere nicht in einem Rutsch schließen
- Benachrichtigung einiger Apps, wie WhatsApp, funktionieren gar nicht mehr
- Kamera: macht gute bis sehr gute Aufnahmen, aber der Bildausschnitt entspricht nicht der Display-Anzeige!

Nochmals: das ist kein Billig-Smartphone für unter 100€, sondern ein Gerät für über 1.000€. So einen Bockmist dem Kunden zur Verfügung zu stellen ist einfach unglaublich. Meine Bewertung: Ein Stern für die hervorragende Telefonie-Funktion und einer für die Hardware, gepaart mit der Hoffnung, dass doch wenigstens ein paar Bugs noch künftig beseitigt werden. Allerdings liefert OnePlus Updates mit der Geschwindigkeit vom Wachstum eines Tropfsteins, so dass ich wenig Hoffnung habe, ein komplett funktionierendes Smartphone zu erhalten. OnePlus? Ich bin raus ...

Update vom 16.4.2022: inzwischen habe ich das vom Support versprochene Update C47 erhalten. Inzwischen ist manches besser, aber immer noch viele gravierende Mängel:
- beim ankommenden Anruf sperrt sich noch immer das Display (zeitweise)
- die Kamera-App stürzt mehrmals am Tag am
- auch Google Maps stürzt ab
- Benachrichtigungen funktionieren noch immer nicht richtig oder gar nicht (z.B. keine Nachricht bei WhatsApp Chats)
- die App-Optimierung funktioniert immer noch nicht

Auch hier wieder nur eine Auswahl der vielen großen und kleinen Ärgernisse. Am übelsten war während eines Städte-Urlaubs aber das wiederholte Abstürzen der Kamera-, der Google-Maps und anderer Apps. Ich habe jetzt wirklich die Nase voll und kaufe jetzt ein anderes Smartphone.

OP 9 Pro: Mit Android 12 schlecht, Android 11 perfekt.

This review is after owning this phone for over 12 months.

After switching to oneplus a few years back I can honestly say that this will be my last oneplus phone. Too expensive for what it offers. It started to crash only after a couple of months of use. The camera is ok but not great. For a phone which costs near 1000£ I expected a lot more. Battery life is mediocre, even if you don't use the phone for gaming. Switch Bluetooth or location on and you wont make it half a day on a full charge. Sometimes it overheats without even using it. Then I am forced to turn it off and leave it off for a few minutes.
Oneplus should introduce at least 500gb of internal storage for a phone which costs this much. If you take photos on a daily basis, you definitely need more storage.
Yes you can use google backup services etc, but why should I pay extra cash for storage when I paid so much for a premium phone?

I guess nothing good last forever, right Oneplus?

Telefone incrível! Bom equipamento qualidade preço. Camera fenomenal.
Atenção que o carregador não serve para a EU. Tem de adquirir um adaptador.

I found that this does not work if you're fingerprint is cold most annoying

I've had a OnePlus 1, 2, X, 3T, 5, 7T pro Maclaren and now this 9 pro. Just brilliant and half the price of Samsung or the other one that's more style than substance.

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.

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.

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!

Bought this phone after using the OnePlus 7 pro for nearly 3 years with no problems, and thought it was a good time to upgrade.

The 9 pro was a huge disappointment. The phone responded slower and had a worse battery than the 7 pro, some improvements in camera but not huge.

A update was issued a number of months ago. Since then, the phone has continued to crash when using different apps including the camera. Recently, I was walking across a national park in the UK and the phone crashed when using the camera. When the phone eventually switched back on, a message appeared in Chinese, which I was unable to translate. The phone eventually booted up, however it had factory reset itself.

This a common problem with the phone after a quick Google search. I would recommend you do not buy this phone.

This is a great phone, but for the price you would expect more an excellent one.
Battery life is a point of strenght for this device, as it last a full day with very intensive use, one day and a half with medium use and could last more than two days with a light use.
Camera a bit disappointing. Great colors and great functions, on pro mode too, but sometime is slow with focus, or when the light changes. Portrait mode excellent, always great results.
Good for gaming too, it won`t reach temperature too hot and the battery last enough even during full session of gaming.

I'm on my 2nd replacement - it's a great phone but it regularly overheats.

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.

First maybe 8 months of owning the phone were fine, battery would last a day of moderate usage easily, much more with battery+ mode
However for the past several months the phone gets hot in normal mode and the battery drains quickly, it will last maybe 4 hours of moderate use and about 6 on battery+ mode which is a huge shame
I'm going to contact them as it's still in warranty and have seen others have the same issue, hopefully they can sort it

Original review below for comparison. Good hardware still needs good software and in this regard Oneplus have failed with their android 12 roll out. After 3 beta tests the stable release broke some essential features (like mobile signal...) And removed some existing ones (One plus have now withdrawn the update for further work). If you need a new phone get a pixel 6 or an S21 instead.

Old review:
Good things (coming from an s20 ultra)
-Latest Snapdragon chip
-The matte finish on the back is better than shiny glass.
-Fingerprint reader is very fast and much more accurate than my last phone.
-Oxygen OS is close enough to stock android to use as is (sooo much better than One UI).
-Supplied wired charger is superfast!
-Camera is pretty good so far. I prefer not having super saturated photos as I did with the s20 ultra.
-Comes with a case
-Battery life is good, the phone lasts me the day.
-Cheaper than a Samsung

-The whole throttling thing
-Despite that it can get quite hot under heavy load.
-One+ are apparently merging oxygen OS with Colour OS and future updates will be based on that.
-Not much clarity on the number of OS updates for the device (Samsung are actually good at this now, how things change).
-No SD card slot or headphone jack.

I guess I'm happy enough. I think the days of new phones surprising with design or new features are long gone. This is a good device with a few drawbacks that will nonetheless do very well for most people at a slightly lower pricepoint than its competitors.

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 used to have a oneplus and I was so happy with it I decided my new phone had to be another oneplus. But this was a mistake.
1) impossibile to make phone calls. You can use it the normal way, that is by your cheek as the screen will never go black and you always end up pressing buttons and it's embarrassing
2) why does it keep taking screenshots????
3) contactless payments won't work
4) you leave it in the pocket and it starts inserting the wrong pin, randomly

Not a good value for money

I've really enjoyed using this phone, it responds well, the screen is great, I've been impressed with the camera, especially in low light, which I wasn't expecting reading other reviews...

The fingerprint sensor works nice and quickly and the facial recognition is very quick too. However, sometimes the phone would be stuck in "pocket mode" and need manually unlocking before it would do anything, also there's no VoLTE which I didn't realise when buying the phone, but not a deal breaker.

Charging (even wirelessly) can be silly fast (60w!) which I think may be this phones biggest down fall... After 6 months of use the phone really wasn't lasting a full day of my normal use (which it did with ease when I bought it), but I couldn't find anything that was being draining... After 8 months of use it was really getting bad and I ran a battery health check along side a few full charge cycles... The results came back at 1920mAh! 43% of the design capacity!! No wonder it wasn't lasting well! Fortunately the phone is still under warranty and this is considered beyond expected wear and tear. I do not want to have this happen again so I'm not exchanging or, I'm going for something else this time...

Highly recommended, great camera, fast charging, beautiful large crisp screen quality, smoothness and 120htz speed is faultless
Literally can't fault the phone at all

The delivery was quick but the packaging was definitely tempered. As you can clearly see in the picture, the original seal is broken and a transparent tape is applied ....the box came exactly as shown in pic.

As per the phone, it's a good mobile as per the price. If you love photography, stick to pixel 6....there is no competition to that. I chose one plus 9 pro over pixel just because of warp charging with in box charger and body design. One plus feels lighter than the new Pixel series.

I have done lot much R&D among Samsung S21, Pixel 6 and One plus 9 pro. Let me know if you want any comparison details in specific.

Update 28 March 2022:

After a very, very long wait for the Android 12 update, it is with great regret a fatal blow not only for this device, but for OnePlus in general.

I can confirm that the rumours that Oxygen OS and OPPO's Color OS merging to one, rather horrible OS are true.

The main advantage OnePlus had, Oxygen OS is no longer valid, the handset now is running an image of the much cheaper entry level OPPO devices' OS.

I would've bought an OPPO device if I wanted the Color OS experience. I did not.

This phone is now heavily discounted (£609), but it's not worth a penny after the new update.

Gmail notification still not working, battery drains like mad. And most importantly, it's not running on Oxygen OS anymore.

Stay clear, this will be my last OnePlus device.

I am actually considering a Samsung for my next phone, yep, it is THAT bad!

------------------------
Original review:

This is an ‘upgrade’ from my beloved, favourite OnePlus 6 which I have been using for almost 4 years now, and is still running just fine.

The 9 Pro is a bit heavy, but balanced in your hand and the ‘brushed’ glass finish at the back makes a nice change from slippery glass and makes it a lot more safer to use without a protective case.

It’s also a bit ‘longer’ on one handed-use, you do get used to it but the shape of the more square OnePlus 6 was much better.

I can go on forever but I will list what I consider pros and cons.

Pros:

1- As mentioned earlier, the overall look and feel of the handset is excellent.
2- Oxygen OS is, hands down the best Android flavour I tried.
3- The camera is not a DSLR, but it’s much better than many alternatives.
4- Ridiculously fast charging, 10 minutes on the charger will keep you going for a full day (With screen on 60 Hz and lower resolution).
5- Wireless charging is finally integrated.
6- Fingerprint scanner is lightning fast, and much better than conventional physical sensors.
7- A super responsive device with no lagging or delays, throw anything at it and it will do it without complaining.

Cons:

1- It’s an expensive 5G handset, that does not support 5G reception on a Tesco Mobile SIM card.
2- Again, it’s an expensive 5G handset, that does not support VoWiFi or VoLTE on a Tesco Mobile SIM card.
3- On default, the excellent display has a horrible yellow tinge to it, need to go to settings and change screen calibration to correct it.
4- Screen is beautiful when set on full resolution and 120 Hz, but it drains the battery like nothing I’ve ever experienced before, it’s just not practical.
5- Battery optimisation has gone insane, Google Fit does not count steps, Gmail notifications are hit and miss, and all other apps are affected with different levels of interruption. This however seems to have improved a bit since the latest update I received 2 weeks ago, hopefully it will rectify it and be back to normal.
6- Camera can be a bit tricky on auto mode, it will decide what object to focus on despite you asking it to focus somewhere else too often for my liking. (Software can rectify that).
7- A rather heavy, thick handset could’ve easily accommodated a 3.5 socket, which would’ve been much better.
8- Curved display looks nice, but otherwise useless.

I can go on forever, but these are the points that are, in my opinion, count as pros and cons.

Would I pay £829 for this phone? No is the simple answer. I got this handset when it was on sale for £679, and that’s the only reason I’m keeping it. I will repeat what many other people have mentioned already, 

I bought this on Black Friday 2021 for less than £650.00.

A flagship phone (2021) for £650.00 is unbeatable value.
The quality of the phone is amazing, the screen quality, the speed of the processor and the overall feel of the build is premium. The camara takes some really good pictures and the battery life is perfectly acceptable.

In January 2022, my phone upgraded to Android 12.

I had to completely factory reset the phone. Yes, it was annoying but also very necessary.
Many people are complaining about various issues and problems after the upgrade to Android 12, but the factory reset solves all of them. (Well, it did for me)

In conclusion for £650.00, this phone will do fine for at least 18 months.

The spec is still good for 2022. The snapdragon 888 processers does not overheat in my phone and 12gb Ram is more then enough to handle the most demanding games and Apps.

Only problem with this phone is the overheating ,it gets hot when I play genshin last time I hit 45 degrees, I believe other games should be alright like PUBG, wild rift ,mobile legends and so on,but you'll feel some warmth. I'm very impressed on the charging speed literally takes 30minutes and goes form 0 to 100%. And the battery life is pretty good I get like 6hrs of usage, not to mention the processor snapdragon 888 is a beast, very fast processing speed on this phone , isee much faster response than my old phone .

Everything is great. Two especially annoying things though:

Camera doesn't have a 16:9 option ?????
The dark mode notification panel is more grey than black...very annoying.

The latter is being fixed in A12.

I should also add:

Curved screens suck, hard to find curved glass screen protectors.
The black version of the phone has what I can only describe as a negative grip it's that slippy.
Comes with a case which is pretty good.
Screen is really good at 1440p
I get 6 hours SOT, battery is incredible
Charges incredibly quickly

However, leaving out 16:9 whilst having 1:1, 4:3 and even 20:9 ???? Just screems they don't care. Lost a star.

I've had a few phones this year and this one is very good. I was coming from an oppo find x3 pro, which comes from the same company but is slightly different.

This phone :

Pros :

Cameras are good, but only if you fiddle about and change to 48/50 mp cameras. Standard photos are good, but not the best.

Battery life is OK, I get home from work and it's on 30+% at about 5/6 pm. I'm not a heavy user, so it's average at best. I charge the phone wirelessly overnight, but the 65w fast has been a godsend to top up.

Cons :

Once the factory screen protector comes off, its a ball ache to get a decent one that lasts! I've tried lots and I still haven't found one that lasts longer than a few weeks.

Ha llegado con una bateria del 10%. Esto es un problema ya que si baja del 20% en un periodo largo de tiempo, la betria se estropea.

El protector de pantalla tiene una pequeña muesca.

Not what I thought it would be

I wanted to like this phone, I really did.

My old phone was a Huawei P30 Pro which I loved - but after 2 years of heavy use, it was starting to show signs of age.

So the OnePlus had some really exciting reviews & based on those one was bought. At the first use, I couldn't believe how hot it got and was dismayed to see the battery drain to the concerning 50% with only a hour of use. A firmware update did solve the heating issue, but...

1. The software remained glitchy and slow (the phone would freeze, apps would become non responsive and shut-down) it was almost impossible to switch to an app (such as contacts) when making a phone call.
2. The camera, despite being the legendary Hasselblad, was terrible - it was so slow that many pictures were blurry. Oftentimes you would take a picture only for some mysterious post-processing to occured and render the image worthless.
3. The final straw came a couple of weeks ago when the phone lost the SIM card. Amazon Tech support tried to help, before I was put in contact with OnePlus tech support. The OnePlus support was amongst the worst I have ever experienced from any company - completely without sympathy. After insisting that the only option was to access my computer to flash the phone (without being able to give any reassurance that they would not compromise my data) they were so confident the flash would work, they hung up and declared the phone fixed (it was not).

A final complaint to Amazon and a full refund was issued (thank you Amazon). Now using the old Huawei which on reflection still takes better pictures and has a better battery life.

Will never, ever buy another OnePlus - what a joke of a company and a joke of a phone.

I have been an Android users for about 4 years and before this phone I was on a Huawei until it stopped working with Google apps.
Cons: Compare to the system on my Huawei, OnePlus' system is not as smooth. An app does not always turn on and some apps keep having faulty issues that cannot be fixed until an update of the system. The battery runs out more quickly than I thought. At the end of the day I usually have about 19% left while on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro it was usually about 40%.
Pros: I like the camera and the default tone setting. It makes colours very sharp in photos. The screen is also very good as you can slide through content very smoothly. That experience is really good. The phone charges really quickly - 30 minutes to full charge makes it very easy and efficient.

Best phone i ever had so far.

Felt nothing special with hazelblad. Nord 2T gives same quality pics for me

Upgraded from a OnePlus 7t which was really very good to this. The phone was a disappointment, the camera was no better that I could see. This wasn't really a problem as the camera on the 7 was excellent. However the battery life was significantly less than on the 7.
I really struggled to see any significance improvement for the extra money. Then the phone totally locked me out 1 day, so I returned it.

It seems there are a lot of reports of issues being reported with the OnePlus 9 Pro.

I for one am a customer whom was left highly disappointed.

The Phone in itself was a lovely sleek phone, lighter than the OnePlus 7 Pro with a slightly larger screen size and less curvature.
Performance wise there were a few blips which I suspect would be ironed out as new firmware updates were released, as to be expected.

HOWEVER

The Phone itself did not work as an actual phone.
What seemed to be intermittent issues in receiving Messages and Calls was persistent from date of purchase.
Long story short, the phone would not receive messages or calls until it was put into Airplane mode or Rebooted, after which it would be fine for a period of time and seem to drop back into the same state.

After a bit of digging it seems quite a few people were reporting this same issue but no-one could actually narrow down the source of the issue with OnePlus themselves included.

I decided to run through some testing and eventually found that the issue could be replicated on demand by simply making an outgoing call.
I have no idea what was happening or why but for some reason after you made an outgoing call you would no longer receive incoming calls or messages.
(The caller would be met with the same automated message that they would when the phone was switched off.)

I ran through various "troubleshooting" methods with OnePlus whom were clearly reading their standardized scripts, ignoring any of the input I had prior given them (asking questions I already answered) and treat like I am technically inert after telling them they had provided incorrect instructions, which they had due to their poor copy pasting skills (a quick google proved this).
Once I achieved what they aimed for me to do, by using the googled steps, they then rather condescendingly responded with a "congrats".

Given the whole experience I decided to request a refund from Amazon which they were happy to oblige with a very refreshing customer support experience compared to that I had just been met with by OnePlus.

All in all I am very disappointed with the OnePlus 9 Pro and their customer support. I hope that this saves someone the headache I experienced when purchasing this phone.

Had a phone for 2 months. OP 9pro CN LE2120 version after Android 12 update thinks it's Indian LE2121 ver. now - had issues with region set up etc.. Regarding UK networks - 5G will work okay with EE, Virgin, Vodaphone & worse with O2 & 3 (three) networks due to bands missing in CN version. Overall next time will buy official EU/ UK version only.

I live between iOS and Android. So I won't list all of the things this phone does better or worse than iOS.

What I will say is that
+ OxygenOS is the nicest rendition of Android.
+ This phone is the fastest portable device I've used for general use. The iPhone 12 Pro Max's lower refresh screen really hurts it in side by side comparisons.
+ The cameras are genuinely the best ones on the market for some type of workloads. If you want accurate, balanced, nuanced images that you'll sometimes playback on a large screen like your tele, then this phone will be better than everything else in it's price range. The only phones that are any real competition at £829 are the S21 and the iPhone 12. I think this outdoes them both at this price and even competes with the Pro Max and Ultra in some categories.
+ The build is gorgeous, the matte black is the nicest stealth black I've seen on a phone. Very close to the It's like a simpler version of the S21 Ultra.

Cons
- The slightly curved screen is much better than the OnePlus 7 Pro days, but it's still not as good as a flat implementation
- The telephoto camera is an afterthought. It takes grainy artifacty photos.
- Chrome on android is still a poor mobile browsing experience due to scaling issues. The samsung browser and firefox are both much better.

All in all, at this price, this phone is a triumph in the UK market. It's closest competition is the S21 Ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro Max and they're both significantly more expensive. They're also both better than this phone but I think this is better value for money.

OnePlus did again its best to deliver us an excellent Flagship smartphone

From the first touch i could feel the Premium Quality of the phone's stracture.
Amazing matt feeling without any fingerprints.

Screen : Big, Bright, Incredible colors and perfect blacks!
The smoothest feeling i have ever seen in a smartphone. You will be surprised!

Battery : The battery last for at least 1 day with normal usage and the charging OMG!!!! less tha 40 minutes from 5% to 100%

CAMERAS : One of the biggest updates for OnePlus are the cameras. Finally and well done for that!!!
Huge sensors and they do exactly what they promised!
Great detailed photos with acurate colors and low light photos are Incredible even without using the night mode.
And with the PRO mode you can even do moreeee!!!
The smoothest transision in an android phone from the Main camera to the Wide angle camera.
Selfie camera is also good with an amazing bokeh(portrait) mode!!

Software : Smooth and reliable software without any problel.

For 2021 if you thinking on buying an Android Flagship around 800pounds with great cameras and premium quality and experience in general OnePlus 9 Pro its the one you looking for!

So I had one plus 5t, then oneplus 6t. They used to bee a great phones, so I expected this to be an amazing phone. But I'm really disappointed. Sometimes it can be a little laggy, the volume buttons doesn't work occasionally, even just unlocking the phone can be frustrating, because if you perss the power button 2 or 3 times it doesn't ligt up for a few minutes, or I just have to restart the phone, to unlock it . There used to be more bugs, but it seem to that they disappeared after the last update. Hopefully they going to fix these bugs with the next update.

Great phone, couple of issues with Amazon and set-up. Amazon sold as new but was Missing screen protector and took several hours and 9 people to agree a solution and another dozen emails chasing refunds and credits. OnePlus denied setup issues and after 3 support calls finally got a resolving solution to Bluetooth pairing and Sim rejected issues.

This is hands down the best phone I've ever owned. Upgraded from a S10 plus since my carrier offered a shabby upgrade deal I thought I'll pay outright for this phone. Very happy I didn't get the S21 ultra upgrade and glad to be away from all the bloat and ad crap I was subjected to by Samsung. Only reason for 4 stars is the pricing policy. Bought the phone for £929 and a week later it was reduced by £150 without any real reason like new phone release or such but that's life sometimes I guess

Basically if you can buy this phone, which was last years flagship phone, at a much reduced price (now that the 10 is out) I would do it. Really nice phone so far and excellent features. The only thing I miss is the always on window I had on my HW 20 Pro.

Great Phone, does all the fancy stuff, has a brilliant camera, great screen clarity and an awesome charger. My gripe with it (and why it hasn't got 5 stars) is the battery life. With every new phone you get at least 2 days of battery (I'm a light user). With this one at the start you barely get a days worth. I am dreading to see what happens after 1 year of use. Other than the battery, an absolutely awesome phone.

Ok, it's an expensive bit of kit, but in all honesty I think it was worth the money. Battery life is about 2 days with regular use, constantly paired with my Galaxy watch.
Camera is the best one I have used, loads of functions and things to press.
Loads games a lot faster than my old Sony XZ.
The only thing I don't like so far is it uses YouTube music to play stored songs, so you have to select each song individually, easy enough fix with a 3rd party music app.

If you buy this phone, you'll need to charge it twice a day unless you don't use it and the strangest thing it does only have 7GB of ram instead of 8GB and I checked with a few apps and all give the same result 7280mb of ram!!!!!!!

Not even playing a game and auto brightness on all the time.

If they could fix battery and ram, I would really recommend this phone but unfortunately that's not the case.

I had the 6T which was an amazing phone and I moved to 8T which was an amazing phone with a terrible camera so I returned it and now I will return the 9Pro.

What's going on Oneplus you know how to charge good money for your phones, but you don't deliver??????????
