In my country, the S21 Ultra 12gb/256gb variant is available at around 1240€ according to current exchange rates.
The OnePlus 9 Pro on the other hand with 12gb/256gb variant is available at around 820€.
There is a big difference of 420€ which makes the OnePlus 9 Pro a good buy.


    I've had 3 OnePlus phones. OnePlus One, One Plus 6T, OnePlus 7T (scratched the screen on the 6T). I know they did it on purpose...marketing and DUH profits, but they started out with a "basic phone" with good specs, plastic back cover, GOOD price. But, instead of the flagship killer, they ARE the flagship in PRICE. Why would you spend THIS amount of money on a second tier phone, than spend a little more on an Apple or Samsung phone?
    In a year, or two, if you desire to sell it and get something else, which one will have a better resale value? OnePlus or Apple/Samsung?
    Hey, it's your money, but, for THIS price, spend a little more and get a top tier device.

            THE most hyped phones of the year. And one of the most disappointing ones.

              Yes you are right. But only and just only the best software and UI in smartphones is Samsung ONE UI the perfect one.

I hate Samsung's One UI anyway.

                  A lot of people are complaining about price here and blindly labeling the S21 Ultra being a better buy. These guys must have watched reviews from Youtubers, majority of which are American.
                  Yes S21 Ultra is a better buy than this, but only in the US where it costs the same and gets Snapdragon SOC.
                  In other parts of the world, the S21 Ultra is on an average 200€ more expensive than this and comes with Exynos version.

                        My OP8 pro has fully functional gcam and works on all lenses.
                        It gives much sharper results from the telephoto lens compared to iPhone 12 pro Max, regular Galaxy S20/S21 series because of ggcam

                            Replicant , 25 Mar 2021Find X3 is better than OnePlus 9 and Galaxy S21. Certainly not for me. Samsung have more obvious advantages. Don't wanna feed CCP anyway.

                                  As a OP8 owner, I am surprised of the OP9, and not for the hardware or software. In my opinion, the price does not justify the product, not by a mile. There is no Hasselblad hardware inside this phone. Remember, Hasselblad is a Hardware Photography Products company. This product might be the biggest Flop of 2021.

                                      OP8 Pro clearly has better camera quality. What's with all this noise in broad daylight on OP9 Pro pictures!?

While they're maybe some software upgrades, they are never enough to fix the complaints people originally had about it. The only real way to fix it is with Gcam (which does a very good job at getting the most out of hardware, but is limited by what the company allows to be accessed by apps), and let's be honest most average consumers aren't going to or know how to make Gcam work on there phone especially the best iteration of itfor their
