OnePlus - 9 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - Astral Black

This is both an impressive and underwhelming phone. If you're looking for a phone with a good camera, stop reading here and go buy something else. This phone has a TERRIBLE camera. No optical image stabilization (keeps the camera from shaking if you're moving a lot) at this price is absolutely ridiculous, especially since the camera is one of the big marketing features of this phone. Not to mention the image processing is just garbage here. You'd be better off getting something like the Pixel 4a 5G if you're interested in camera performance. As far as the rest of the phone, it's RIDICULOUSLY fast. Seriously, you won't notice any stutters or slowdowns whatsoever and it's a great phone for gaming. The speakers are crazy good too when you're watching videos. The screen is bright and beautiful and the phone has a ton of custumisation options to make it look and feel just the way you want it to. One thing I wish it would have is a better build quality. The back is made of glass but it feels like cheap plastic. Not only that, but the sides of the phone ARE made of plastic and the mute/vibrate switch on the side is very loose. It just doesn't feel like a $730 phone. If it was $500 or even $600 I could excuse these shortcomings, but not at this price. Phones like the Black Shark 4 that are just as powerful have full aluminum bodies which feel much better in the hand and are almost $250 less. Overall, it's a decent phone, but I would wait for it to come down to around the $600 mark, as I think that's the sweet spot for this one.

My first non-Pixel phone in several years. I'm not super familiar with One Plus but the reviews I saw in a lot of places were very positive. The screen size is great. I love the fingerprint reader built into the screen although not having one on the back of the phone like a Pixel will take some getting used to. Battery life is excellent and I love the wireless charging. I have to say that the best feature has to be the warp speed charging. It really can go from almost dead to fully charged in about 30 minutes. Very impressive. The camera is very good but I haven't had a chance to take a lot of photos yet. Pixels are hard to compete with for sure. I think this is a great value for the price and number of "flagship" features.

I've had all OnePlus Phones since the first one. Oneplus 1, Oneplus 6 and now the Oneplus 9. The software is never bloated like the samsungs and they last. So far far my only 2 complaint would be the gloss slippery back of the phone. Which I get a case anyways. The other issue is the one screen finger print reader is a bit lower then I like. So I would give it 4.5 if I could.

Solid phone. No issues so far. Amazing definition. Wish I had seen that I was buying purple instead of black though. I am very content with my purchase at the price point at the time. I was about to pay almost double for a Samsung and frankly, I'm glad I didn't.

I've enjoy enjoyed this phone so far charges quickly and battery more solid than I expected with the 120hz screen. But when taking pictures I have had issues with colors being washed out.

The phone is very well made and works perfect! The screen is amazing and 120Hz refresh makes it smooth. The battery life was horrible the first few days. I turned off the 120Hz refresh on the screen to get through each day. After a few days it seemed to be doing better and I turned the high refresh rate back on. It's been perfect since then and makes it through a full day with 50% left. OnePlus says the phone has to learn your usage habits to manage the battery and that seems to be true. I switched from an iPhone and after a week have only good things to say about OnePlus 9.

Phone looks amazing for not having the highest resolution, the 120hz screen is something you can't go back from! The charging is amazing and almost a bragging point, the battery isn't bad, could be better but hopefully with software it will. That snapdragon 888 never slows down but is power hungry.

I did not know much about this brand of mobile phone, but glad there were some good reviews. My son's phone died unexpectedly and we had to decide quickly on a replacement. The OnePlus has been a good choice. One issue he finds is the weird feeling when he type messages. The haptic vibration is slightly delayed from the actual button pressing.
