OnePlus 9 Pro: Revolutionary display, evolutionary camera
The OnePlus 9 Pro arrives with a major focus on camera performance, an improved display, and the newest Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 888.
Over the years, OnePlus has been aiming at the flagship end of the market, hoping to gain a foothold in that exclusive smartphone tier. But do these latest improvements—and particularly those in the camera—put OnePlus in a position to challenge Samsung’s Galaxy S21 or Apple’s iPhone 12? Let’s dive in and take a look.
There are four different phone configurations for the OnePlus 9, each with its own color and combination of specifications. The lowest-end model comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and costs $729. The top-end configuration (which is the model that I review here) costs $1,069, and features 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. As such, the OnePlus 9 Pro hits basically the same price point as the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G, and it costs just a bit more than last year’s OnePlus 8 Pro.
