Let me also join the club of all those who cannot reconcile the 4.4 rating with the overall tone of the review and particularly the conclusion.
Further, when you are focusing (justifiably) on the lack of a notable improvement in camera performance of 9 Pro - especially in light of what the competition is doing - it is difficult to understand that you list as an alternative the Mi11, which lacks a telephoto camera, without even mentioning it! This comment is not against the Mi 11 as an alternative, it is rather aimed at the lack of consistency and clarity in the tone and approach of the review.
Other than that, I struggle to understand OnePlus' proposition in the current smartphone landscape. It's clearly not a flagship killer approach anymore. It seems more like offering an all-round flagship that doesn't really excel at anything, but is priced as if it did. Only time will tell if this approach is sustainable, but I am not very optimistic given the alternatives at various price points around the 9 Pro's RRP.

Bruh, 24 Mar 2021The price is totally fair. True it is high, but for that ca... moreYes flagship killer that costs 700-800 without OIS in their main lens

How the heck did this phone got 4.4 looking at the cons list.
They still suck at photography.
Cons
Curved display still registers accidental touches
Rear camera performance still behind the competition
Outdated front camera
No pro video features or true HDR recording
Hasselblad partnership mostly a marketing gimmick
Monochrome camera is useless
Worse battery life performance than previous models
Most games still locked to 60fps

"Hasselblad partnership mostly a marketing gimmick"
Wow, shots fired
And despite being obviously destroyed with so many cons, this phone still gets a 4.4 stars rating ??

I first come across OnePlus brand in 2017. I bought the T3 model & have no regrets. It was a very great phone and the price tag was way below iPhone then. All those years OnePlus have gain popularity and it seems greed have overtake the company's identity of Never Settle. From a pricing of below USD 600 ( half the price of iPhone ) It now have grown to almost USD 1K. This dismay me and make me to seek other brand of same specs with a cheaper price. Hope this serve as a wake up call to the company that I once promote as an worthy underdog brand

POCO X3 Pro is better in every aspect except chip. Change my mind, why does someone need to pay x4 for this device?

Peter UK, 24 Mar 2021Literally what I came here to say... I trust GSM arena I trust GSMarena but this review is not great... Detailed, yet the final score is way too high. With all the cons I would expect it to be around 3.9/4 max

With all that huge list of cons, it has 4.4 star review. Same 4.4 star review for oppo find x3 pro.
You really wanna underrate the Oppo, yes ?? I am no sh**p though.
Ofcourse, the oppo does not have flashy samsung or apple logo on it, to gain 4.6, even 4.7 stars in my experience of you judging a review in stars.

USD150M and Hasselblad just for the highly-touted main camera perform worse than a Xiaomi Mi 10T Vanilla/Lite in both good and bad lighting at GSMArena labs. I'm sticking with my 10T for now.

Anonymous, 24 Mar 2021More cons than pros for a so-called Flagship. What a shame.... moreThe Pros/Cons section is a bit biased though. Take a look at the Pros/Cons section of both OnePlus 9 Pro & Samsung S21+. It makes OP9 Pro look like a worse device, while in reality OP9 Pro is much better than S21+.

I was a ONE PLUS fan since beginning. I owned Op1, Op2, Op6...then I switched last year to Huawei as prices dropped (P30 PRO). Reason was as Op was really FLAGSHIP KILLER and offered MORE for LESS. Then it changed! NOW Op offers LESS for MORE and beating 1,000€ bar is just too much for me. There is absolutely NO PHONE I would pay more than 850-900€...even that is hart breaking amount, but HEY for great FLAGSHIP with best cameras okay. As HUAWEI is banned from Google and by my opinion this is still far best system, there is only ONE PHONE LEFT...Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA. On the other hand Apple has only one phone (as all of them are too small)...and that is Apple Iphone 12 PRO MAX...SO BOTTOM END...Op9 PRO is just OVERHYPED & OVERPRICED mid segment

I agree. Hasselblad tie-up is more of a marketing gimmick. Nothing outrageous, nothing monumental, nothing special.

More cons than pros for a so-called Flagship. What a shame. Looks like I will never get to try a OnePlus phone after all.

Finally, a truthful review that doesn't hesitate to hold back. I was tired of reviewers praising this overpriced and overhyped phone. Thanks to GSMArena for bringing the truth into light.
