It's been over two weeks since I started testing the OnePlus 9 Pro, and it's time to share my honest thoughts about this new flagship phone from OnePlus!

@GeekyGamer167 3 жыл бұрын

I understand what he was trying to do, however I don't know if the Android frame rate counter would show changes in the display's refresh rate, since the app itself wouldn't change it's frame rate, but rather the display just wouldn't output all of the frames given to it. So imo, this counter is completely irrelevant

I went from a Samsung Note 20 Ultra to the OnePlus 9 pro and the op is hands down a better phone. Other then not having a S pen anymore, there is not a single downside to the op. It is the smoothest and most efficient phone I have ever used, zero bloatware, and there aren't 2 companies competing with eachother in daily phone use like there is on Samsungs.

Fantastic video, congratulations!!... At long last, someone who understands a mobile phone IS NOT a camera, that there are many areas that are more important and should be considered in reviews. Lately it´s all about cameras, something that both manufacturers are pushing in a bet to justify insane prices and reviewers are happily onboard with. It is a ridiculous trend that I hope ends soon, something that results in what this video cleverly states in the beginning: there is negative vibe around a fantastic phone simply because the cameras where not quite up to the hype.

@MegaNayton 2 жыл бұрын

Completely agree on this can't see why people want top photo quality when in everyday use they probably don't even use the camera at all. These youtube tech reviews all seem to focus on camera. Now I'm no photo expert my self but I just wouldn't look for a tech reviewer to tell me if a camera is good because how do we know he's even telling the truth and is using optimised settings for the scene he or she is shooting. Now as for the software and what's actually in side the phone the ONEPlus 9 Pro seems to have very good specs and for the money isn't to bad compared to other top flagship phones on the market

OP9 Pro has had a "normal" price of 699 EUR here for the past couple of months with a couple of "expensive" bumps. I'm waiting for it to drop to 599 EUR until I buy it... unless OP10 will be significantly better, which I doubt.

Great work on the objective review! I came across your channel as I was looking for recent reviews of the OnePlus 9 Pro and seeing how you approached this phone two weeks in, you did justice to it by thoroughly observing its strength and areas that can still be improved. I honestly think that OnePlus is justified in pressing the promotions on their Hasselblad partnership considering that this is only the first iteration borne out of that. Their is much room for them to prove that they can really improve on their camera department and I am honestly hopeful for it. If it is already good at this point, I can only imagine how much better their Color Science could get in the coming years. Good job, man! I liked and subscribed. God bless!

Until then, they should have keep the price at reasonable level in order to built consumer confidence & get more people to try out their phone.

The bad press surrounded this phone is not because of its camera quality, the camera actually very good or the hardware which is easily tip top flagship grade. But the competition has improved quite tremendously especially in the very top dollar segment. Phone like S21 Ultra, iPhone 12 Pro Max and even the Find X3 Pro from sister company Oppo offers better overall camera experience than 9 Pro. The higher price of this year phone didn't help either. Not to mention the crazy hype OnePlus spewed before the launch and they talked about the partnership for big chunk of minutes during the launch event too. They really want everyone to believe that they've finally created the best smartphone camera in the world this time which turned out not. Now I see phone like S21 Ultra deal can be had closer to 9 Pro, there's almost no reason not to pick the former over the latter. My 2 cents. Anyway great video as always, Mark. Btw I think the lowest 1Hz refresh rate probably will be used during always on display mode (AOD).
