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.

Excellent phone, very fast and snappy. Good design, feels very sleek and runs everything very well. Only complaint is that the camera is not as good as some of the competition but is definitely an improvement. This all is coming from someone who upgraded from a OnePlus 6. 10/10 recommended if you can get it open box, for full price I would say it’s about 8-9/10.

Love it! Aside from a minor update problem that was due to their update server being down at the time I happened to update, fantastic phone! Fast, smooth experience! Imo highly underrated. Solid camera. At times better than the pixel in capabilities. Installing the actual gcamera makes it right on par with Pixel cameras, imo far better user experience than Samsung Galaxy phones. Zero bloat

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.

I am typing this review on my OnePlus 9 phone and love it more than I thought I would. Coming from an LG 6, it wasn’t that difficult to figure out how to use this phone. My IT guy set it up, and it follows the Android phone system. I am now a believer in the OnePlus 9. A must buy worth every penny.

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.

Upgraded from my oneplus 6t and was not disappoint. The cameras are a huge upgrade from prior years and the performance is crazy fast. You can definitely tell a difference in the 120hz screen. Haptic feedback is the best I’ve felt on any phone so far. You can’t get a better phone for the price.

I haven’t put many reviews up here. But so far I like the oneplus 9. Finger unlock is quick. Charges quick and smooth as butter. My only complaint would be battery. Samsung Galaxy note 20. Gets a little more out of the battery. But me personally I’m usually near a charger. I’ll also put this out there I got this phone to use on verizon. After swapping sims. Everything was working fine. The only issue was I couldn’t receive texts. So I googled the issue and reddit gave me the answer. You have to call verizon and tell them to put cdma-less in. As soon as they did all the texts came through
