OnePlus 9 series: what to expect

22 March 2021
The company has been especially vocal with the teasers this year, so there's plenty we already know for certain (there is some guesswork involved too).

Sort by:

salarx, 22 Mar 2021I'll put Asus somewhere on the the line. Only if they ... moreAsus is good as well but they never released the Zenfone 7 series in my country.
Their ROG series had limited availability.
They seem to have abandoned their budget lineup despite doing well.
They need to ramp up production and availability.

      Hasselblad, the 1960s mechanical camera company. Should have put Fox-Talbot on the case.

        I'm far more interested in the Hasselblad partnership. I'll wait for GSMArena to do a full review of the OP9 Pro. Last year's OP8 Pro had a solid camera performance. In fact, it was that particular phone that stopped me from getting the Sony Xperia 1 ii because of the photo quality in daylight condition.

                drake parker, 23 Mar 2021OnePlus has gone to utter sh*t after 7T pro. Agreed, utter nonsense. They are just concentrating on marketing, spending big money in hiring brand ambassadors. Till 7T, they were everything I could ask for. Now, their prices have gone so high, it stopped making sense. Starting series 8, I can no longer afford them. To fill the gap, they launched Nord series, which feels like an insult to us - mediocre build and hardware, just banking on Oxygen OS. In the effort of becoming a heavyweight, OnePlus forgot their roots which was Flagship Killer. Their new mantra - you gotta spend more if you want a decent flagship. They have just become like any other brand, that is not exciting and costs a ton! It all started with creating two flagships a year, then including a so called mid-range in between. They are deliberately holding back features, just to include them on the Pro and jack up the prices.

                Everybody can deliver a decent product for high price, its the matter of offering a decent product at a price which makes sense.

                    AZ, 22 Mar 2021What is the obsession with periscope lenses? In 20 years... moreSmartphone telephoto zoom hasn't been around very long, and that's why you havent used it that much.

                      What about audio?

                      Is there stereo? Are the speakers symmetric (that not obvious at all)? Is the sound quality at least as good as Samsung's? Or is it a next revision of traditional crap?

                      Good display on the smartphones we all use for 10 years and really nobody cares about that besides the manufacturers themselves... Top manufacturers cameras are excelent for similar period of time... Meanwhile audio sacks often and nobody cares about that.

                          I wonder what can xperia achieve if Sony's Camera division took their collaboration with xperia seriously like this

                            Anonymous, 23 Mar 2021That sensor is good and a huge upgrade over the IMX 586 tha... moreyeah, it will be an upgrade for the 9 pro but not the 9!

                            i'm certain that the 9 will have the 8pro's sensor ! too good to be true!

                                It's really hard to get excited over this. The speed, display and camera stopped being interesting to me for quite a while. Hope they have some tricks left in their sleeves.

                                    expect oppo devices revamped a bit in physical features with just an oxygen os inside. 🤣 👏
