OnePlus 9 Pro review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The OnePlus 9 Pro is the 2021 flagship of the number series, running the Snapdragon 888 in a 6.7-inch 120 Hz OLED, with a 4500 mAh battery, 65 W charging, and an IP68 body at 197 grams. Our catalog scores it 71 on everyday use, 52 on camera and 82 on compactness. A 48-megapixel stabilized main camera records 8K30 video, and the 8/128 GB trim is tracked at about $970 new. The OnePlus 10 Pro is the successor, and the OnePlus 8 Pro is the generation before.

Display and design

The 6.7-inch OLED refreshes at 120 Hz, scoring 56 on our screen axis: a large, fluid panel with an undocumented brightness specification in our catalog, consistent with the standard flagship brief of its year. IP68 submersion sealing at 197 grams supports the compactness score of 82.

Performance

The Snapdragon 888 posts an everyday axis of 71 and a gaming axis of 22: 2021 flagship silicon with fluid daily pace and playable heavy titles at reduced settings, with efficiency the known compromise of this chip generation. Tracked trims run from 8 to 12 GB of RAM, and no software-window figure is documented.

Camera

The camera axis of 52 rests on a 48-megapixel stabilized main sensor with dedicated ultrawide and telephoto companions, recording up to 8K30. The triple setup with OIS carries the full framing range, and the camera axis of 52 places this model among the stronger 2021 flagships in our catalog.

Battery and charging

The 4500 mAh battery scores 30 on our battery axis, a single full day at flagship load, and 65 W charging scores 46, restoring the cell in well under an hour. In a 197-gram IP68 body, the capacity-for-weight trade follows the 2021 flagship formula.

Verdict

At about $970 new for 8/128 GB, the OnePlus 9 Pro answers a simple question: full 2021 flagship hardware with a 52-point camera axis. Screen, sealing and 8K30 video carry the pitch; the OnePlus 10 Pro refines the recipe, and the 8 Pro is the discounted alternative of the same class.
