Best phone I have ever owned
Hard to not like this phone! Everything works amazingly fast and fully loaded with features. The camera is stunning (use pro mode for RAW editing and 12 bit color). Unboxing: The box is a neat red design and a lot of thought went into the packaging. Upon opening, the phone is clearing presented and wrapped up. I liked how the wrapping shows exactly where the wireless charging and NFC antennas are so you know where to place your phone when using those features. Further in, there is the amazing 65W charger and red cable, a SIM ejection tool, documentation and a letter from the company expressing their pride in their device, a nice touch! Initial impressions: The phone comes with a factory screen protector of decent quality. It doesn't scratch easily and offers good protection. The device looks AMAZING in pine green. The color has a matte finish and is only slightly slippery. It is thinner than expected and the camera doesn't go out as much as competitors. The three way slide switch on the right side is great for vibrate, silence settings. Set up is a breeze as it is mostly stock android 11 using Oxygen OS. A simple Google login and you are good to go, the Oneplus login is optional if you want to take part in preinstalled apps. Bloatware is extremely minimal. Other than the normal google default apps, the only other apps you will find on the phone are Oneplus community, Oneplus switch, file manager, weather and notes by oneplus. They can all be removed if wanted with the exception of file manager. Use: I love this thing! The OS is the fastest one out there. I was previously using a iPhone 12 Pro and S21 Ultra but they both feel sluggish in comparison. The screen is on part with the S21 Ultra with bright display and AMOLED black levels. It is comfortable to hold for long periods and even though the screen is big, it is easy to use due to its narrow aspect ratio. Camera: Superb! I have only had it a limited amount of time but the main and wide cameras are stunning! They are especially good when paired with Pro mode (main camera only). The photos are taken in DNG format and can be edited in RAW but there is a huge color range in the 12 bit color the mode allows for. In normal photo mode (auto settings), the phone tends to put emphasis on shadows for dramatic looks but it is great in my opinion. The main sensor is large and has a natural bokeh so I rarely use portrait mode as the plain sensor provides a great look naturally! The zoom lens is meh but I rarely use it. It is 8 MP and not utilized part of the Hasselblad deal so colors are usually a little washed out in my opinion on that lens. The front camera is good but not great. It is better in my opinion than the iPhone 12 Pro since it offers more detail but color is a little off. It is less detailed and accurate than the S21. I usually use the main camera for selfies with the volume rocker as the shutter button since it is the best camera on most phones. Speakers / haptics: The speakers are clear and loud enough but not groundbreaking. The top speaker is noticibly weaker than the bottom speaker but it gets the job done. Bass is weak but audio is clear and enjoyable. Haptics are very good for an android phone. I would put it second only to the iPhone as it has a wide range of vibration levels without simply feeling like a buzzer. Battery: This is probably the low point of the phone. Battery life for me is unpredictable. I usually get around 40-30% toward the end of my work day and have to charge prior to going home or plug it in in the car. Most phones I would say this is a deal breaker but this phone has a secret weapon, the warp charge! With the 65W charger, the phone can charge the two (yes two) internal batteries in parralel and you will be fully charged from 0-100% in less than 30 minutes. There is a wireless charger they sell that will charge in less than an hour. Summary: I love this phone and it is hard to go back to any other phone (except maybe a pixel due to stock android) after using it. I would like a 512 GB storage option, expandable storage and some slightly better battery life but other than that this is a near perfect phone and well worth the price!

Great Phone
I had peuchased a Samsung S22 after my OnePlus 7pro battery started to lose power quickly after three years. I might have just teplaced the battery but I wanted to get 5G. The S22 was too small and I just didn't like it that much. I bought the 9pro for $450.00. I like this camera much better. It is larger. The battery works well. It charges quickly. The camera does very well.

Amazing phone!
Bought this as a business purchase as it was a great deal for what you get and if needed can be unlocked and be supported years beyond what the manufacturer provides. That makes it an IT favorite in my opinion as it can be security updated for long beyond what is officially supported, so cost effective. On top of that, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of dual lane UFS3.1 storage is a LOT for the price. Even the screen is fantastic. Now about the cameras, they may not immediately show as anything special but take a closer look and you'll see that Hasselblad did have a very hard hand at the color science in the photos it takes based on the picture I attached. Very accurate and very quick camera. Also the ultra wide handily outpaces the iPhone 13 Pro, and I know that's a very high compliment. All in all a VERY sound purchase. 10/10 would purchase again.

OnePlus 9 5g phone
The one plus 9 5g phone is an awesome phone. Equiped with the latest snapdragon chip and 12gigs of memory, this phone can run anything you want. The cameras are very good and the 256 gig of storage gives me enough space to store the pictures that I take. I highly recommend this phone.
