The OnePlus 9 is a great phone that is perfect for anyone looking for a fast, efficient, and colorful phone. The Snapdragon 888 chipset makes it one of the fastest phones on the market today, and the optimized software and fast memory make it handle all heavy tasks well. The digital zoom has also been improved, making it easier to take great photos in tight spaces. There are some fun new tricks like the ultra-wide-angle camera’s macro simulation close-up effect that make this phone even more special.
The OnePlus 9 is one of the fastest-charging phones around, with a full charge taking only about 30 minutes. However, the Indian variants do not feature wireless charging, if that is important to you. The battery life is no cause for celebration either, but with a little care it can last a whole day. There’s no getting around it: the OnePlus 9 has a very similar design to its predecessor, except for the obviously different camera block.
The OnePlus 6 has a 6.55-inch glass-fronted display and glass back, the same lock button and OnePlus signature ring/vibration/silent toggle on the right side, as well as the volume rocker on the left. There’s also the same USB-C port on the bottom with the speaker on the right.
The OnePlus 9 is a phone that is designed for users who want a phone with a plastic frame. The display is an AMOLED and it has a Full HD Plus resolution. The screen is only interrupted by a cutout in the upper left corner for the front camera. The fingerprint sensor works reliably and you will only have to unlock the phone with your face or passcode every now and then.
The OnePlus 9 has a triple rear camera setup, though you’ll likely only use two of them. You’ll use the 48MP main camera and the 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera most often, while the 2MP monochrome sensor helps with low-light and black-and-white photos if you set the right filter. The real advantage of the OnePlus 9 is in the charging speeds. You get the Warp Charge 65T charger in the box, which will charge the phone to 100% in just under half an hour.
