The OnePlus 9 has all the flagship features you need, and it costs well below $1,000.

Good build, Not too heavy, Really good 120Hz flat display, Snappy performance, Excellent fingerprint scanner, Good pair of stereo speakers, Extremely fast charging, OxygenOS is still really good, Charger is included

Camera performance needs to be improved, No OIS on the main camera, No microSD card slot, Plastic frame

The OnePlus 9 is a more comprehensive package than ever before but it's not without some familiar caveats....

The OnePlus 9 is the perfect combination of speed and beauty in a flagship smartphone, with a slightly more accessible price tag. Building on its predecessor with more impressive specs and a much better camera system, OnePlus has knocked it out of the park with this one.

Super fast charging, Fluid, smooth 120Hz display, Fast performance

No MicroSD card slot, The glass back is prone to marks, Could have a better battery life

The OnePlus 9 is a very nice smartphone that convinces with a great OLED display, good battery life, and very smooth performance. However, in our opinion, the premium smartphone lacks a bit of progress within the model series.

120 Hz OLED panel, stereo speakers, fast wireless charging, performance, USB 3.1, fast storage, good cameras ...

... with weaknesses in terms of zoom and without OIS, placement of the fingerprint scanner, no 3.5 mm audio jack, SD card support, games only up to 60 fps, WLAN could be faster, plastic frame

The OnePlus 9 is available now on the OnePlus store in two configurations. The lowest offers 8GB RAM / 128GB storage and retails for £629/$729. The more premium edition features 12GB RAM / 256GB storage and retails for £729/$829. We’re waiting on US prices.

Well calibrated screen that’s perfect for gamers and movie fans, Solid camera with an advanced pro mode for tinkerers, Outstanding, future proof performance

Lack of variable refresh rate means the screen eats up battery in its highest setting, Camera’s image processing can be a little heavy handed

The design may not have wowed us that much, but OnePlus knows its users are all about getting the best performance out of every area of its phones. So if cutting corners and adding in a plastic frame means being able to stick two flagship cameras on the back, add wireless charging, a capacious...

Speedy performance, Really fast wired charging, Wireless charging (finally!), Upgraded cameras are good, Vibrant and fluid display

Plastic frame and chunky build, Wireless charging maxes out at 15W, No official water- or dust-resistance rating

True, it’s not the absolute best in any one category, but the OnePlus 9 stays true to its heritage by giving you a flagship-like experience without breaking the bank.

Decent 120Hz display, Strong camera, OxygenOS is slick

Design has taken a backwards step, Not as cheap as it used to be, No OIS on camera

The OnePlus 9 is very, very similar to the OnePlus 9 Pro. Today we’re going to decide if it’s worth buying one over the other – and if it’s time to upgrade from an older OnePlus device.

Brilliant professional display, Elegant industrial design, Extraordinary Hassleblad camera array, Decent stereo speaker system, Far out-performs launch price

Punch hole display for front-facing camera, Glass front and back demands protective case, Wireless charging limited to 15W

When I buy a phone for my own use, I usually go big since I have hands and pockets that can handle big phones. However, there are definitely people who like a smaller and more pocketable phone, so it's great to see OnePlus offer the OnePlus 9 that is priced $240 less than the flagship OnePlus 9 Pro.

Fast performance, Super speedy charging, Volume mode switch, No bloatware or ads, Hasselblad color calibration, Flat display

No mmWave 5G support

Great phone. I upgraded both my wife's and my own phone. The value is extraordinary. It is refreshing to get a new phone that isn't loaded with useless bloat-wear. The return to the flat screen is a welcomed feature (we traded up from 7t's) Charging is incredibly fast. I highly recommend this phone
