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

    Android--Master, 25 Mar 2021I think these cons in terms of camera can be corrected with... moreI've heard this almost every year OnePlus (and other companies for that matter) have released and underwhelming camera upgrade. 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

      Replicant , 25 Mar 2021Find X3 is better than OnePlus 9 and Galaxy S21. Find X3 is a good phone, it has Snapdragon 870 though.
      But I don't think it should be a problem in day to day usage.
      Plus it provides better stability compared to Snapdragon 888 devices during stress tests.

      That €700-€900 segment is jam packed with great offerings.
      People shouldn't look past last year's flagships as it has all the bells and whistles one can ask for, minus the heavy power consumption and thermal throttling issues.

      Where are those guys who were complaining about Snapdragon 865 flagships being too expensive last year?? Now that they are cheap, these guys have suddenly started considering it as an inferior processor.

        Gcam should do rest of the job. OnePlus has great developer community support.

          Companies like Hasselblad are living on past glory and companies like Oneplus, Oppo, Huawei are just milking this past glory.

          Real advancements in camera tech, sensor tech and ISP are being done by companies like Sony, Google, Apple and Samsung. I don't understand how a cameras that relied on excellence in pure optics in the 70s could still be relevant today when the role of electronics in image processing and color science (the new buzz word for Youtubers) etc is far more important.

          I mean you could dig up a 100 year old company that used to make those old bellow cameras and say I now have a legendary camera name on my glass back.

          Plain stupidity.

              I refused to listen to them, went with my instinct and got the Oppo Find X3 pro 12gb/256gb white variant.
              OnePlus 9 Pro starts at €829, ends up being €929 for 12gb/256gb variant.

              The Find X3 pro ended up costing me around €920.
              Happy that the Find X3 pro doesn't have the same cons in camera and other things.

                  The camera collaboration is great and all, but I would have personally like to see an improvement in battery life. 5k mAh is already common in many phones, so 4.5k mAh is a bit underwhelming.

                        Used oneplus 5 (599€), jumped 7T pro (899€) and now bought 9 Pro (999€). I will never go back to other brands. Oneplus have clearly best overall user friendly phone, more or equal power, less rubbish in new phone than others.

                        1K is not so much if you get phone, camera and computer in same packet. Nothing is not so annoyig than lag in games/softwares. Was hope wireless charger to packet but need buy itseparately (70€).

                              With 1,000 EUR price tag, I don't think many people would go for it. Besides GSM Arena and some other critics are not that good. I wish I could go for Huawei if it didn't have Google ban.

                                So, with all the hype, oneplus still SETTLE for average then. I wonder why gsmarena doesnt put mi 10 ultra in any of the table for comparison, because the feature on those phone will literally make oneplus 9 pro looks like last year phone. From display, charging and camera, it's practically all there on mi 10 ultra.

                                    What is Samsung employing for better battery life? Just labeling it as an outlier is not an answer.

                                      That back design, where is the taste of this people.

                                        Anonymous, 24 Mar 2021it doesn't look oneplus even trying . Yes I agree with u, I was extremely shocked by the specs for the 9pro. Surely the battery should've been 4800maH or 5000. Apparently the LTPO is supposed to compensate why it isn't however, a lot of what I've read is that its worse.

                                        Where is the eye opening feature from the specs they put out. 6.7 inch is not smaller than mi11 and s21 ultra. Camera apparently is still not great. Good fast charging, yh OK. Price too high from where the company started from.

                                        Just a major downer for me for onePlus to be honest.
