![]() ![]() In-screen fingerprint sensor, alert slider If (like me) you often put a phone on a table and start poking at it, it's going to rock around when you tap it anywhere above the halfway point. There are three height levels on the back, then: the major back panel, the top of the camera bump, and the two big, protruding lenses. Like many camera blocks, the phone is, unfortunately, wobbly on a table. As far as camera bumps go, the OnePlus 9 line looks nice! Most phones go with a single, big slab of glass that covers the entire camera bump, but OnePlus now has the two big lenses stick out from the camera bump. With minimal bezels and hole-punch cameras now a standard thing from year to year, differences in phone design are pretty much down to the camera bump. OnePlus' reviewer's guide tells me there is a "Stellar Black" version that "resembles the classic sandstone look and feel of the OnePlus One" and is "practically free of fingerprints." That sounds nice. Naturally, a mirror is a huge fingerprint magnet, so get ready to wipe this thing down until your thumb falls off. Your brain wants it to be a single color, but it never is. OnePlus accomplishes this transition with an old-school dithered pattern in the back coloring, which you can just barely make out under the light. The back color is a gradient-it's silver at the top and transitions to a mirror at the bottom quarter of the phone. ![]() ![]() Every part of this phone is silver or polished chrome or a straight-up mirror. I was sent the "Morning Mist" color, which looks like what would happen if you melted a mirror and forged it into a smartphone. We're mostly focusing on the OnePlus 9 Pro for this review.

The OnePlus 9 Pro starts the year 2021 at $969 (up from $899 last year) while the OnePlus 9 is $729, up from $699 for the OnePlus 8. Every year, OnePlus creeps the price of its devices higher. The OnePlus 9 has a completely flat display, only gets 15W wireless Qi charging, and isn't water-resistant unless you buy the T-Mobile version.īut perhaps the most notable change will hit customers up front. Both phones get OnePlus' excellent "Warp Charging," now at 65W, just like the OnePlus 8T.Īs for differences, the OnePlus 9 Pro gets a bigger, higher-res display with slightly curved sides, 50W wireless Warp Charging, IP68 water resistance, mmWave support, and a better main camera alongside an extra 3x telephoto camera. The new OnePlus flagship phones have arrived-the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro.īoth phones feature the Snapdragon 888, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4500mAh battery. The big news is that both devices are 120Hz with a 6.55-inch, 2400×1080 OLED on the OnePlus 9 and a 6.7-inch, 3168×1440 OLED on the OnePlus 9 Pro. ![]()
