One question. The camera has it focus peaking or no?

    [deleted post]You must like bling, eh? Do you have a gold tooth, too?

    Anyway, the 1+ 9 Pro is kind of disappointing, I was hoping for no edge distortion from the main camera lens, but it's there like on all phone cameras, and it's not as good as the iPhone.

    The distortion from the selfie camera lens is pretty bad based on other reviews, although here it's not as evident.

      What have you become Oneplus........... Was making Flagship Killers just turned into another Flagship...........I Guess OnePlus isn’t the Flagship Killer they were the only Flagship Killers living are the Redmi K series Pocophones Maybe some Redmi’s and Realme followed by Moto I don’t like this since many people are on budget and people just blindly buy phones because they don’t know if it is bad because the shopkeeper or friend tells them so

      For example a shopkeeper says to you the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is the best phone and when you try it will look very fast but only do some people know that they thing will break easily that is not a thing shopkeepers mention

      The point is make good phones with good quality and make it for a certain price range this is what the Pocophones are doing they will stay relevant in budget for at least 2 years then they too will turn to straight up Flagships like how OnePlus has become

      GG To All Flagship Killers Stay Killers

        Kainey, 23 Mar 2021Disappointing, I cancelled my preorder. I will try my luck ... moreAre you going to bend it?

          Hype... Can only take you upto there. After that at some point you need real improvements to live upto that hype. This model of Oneplus has worked so far, but they are now falling behind. I was waiting eagerly for the phone, but was skeptical about the hype, and its true....they didn't delivered this time. With prices have gone through the roof, its better to buy true flagships rather than this underwhelming phones from oneplus, which are just slightly cheaper. In percentage terms Samsung and Apple don't come at too high a price but provide more in the phone experience.

                Anonymous, 24 Mar 2021Easier to deal with larger sensor/lens combo at 22-24mm tha... moreJudging by today's standard smartphone size and camera bump, one should not have a problem using at least 1/1.5" sensor at 28mm (Mate 30 Pro 1/1.7" at 27mm). I dont even mind if the bump thickness stretch up using 1/1.2".

                Yeah 35mm will thick up the phone even further & starting looking ridiculous, for a smartphone.

                  Hasselblad tuning is to blame here I believe.

                    Shui8, 24 Mar 2021Why smartphone company nowadays put 23-24mm FL on its 1x ma... moreThat's what I have been thinking for a while. 28mm would be perfect. Since the sensors have gotten bigger and more sensitive, they could use something like a f/1.8-f/2.2 lens and get over shallow focal plane issue.
                    You could use better lenses too by going for slower lens.
                    The only issue is it would look bad on paper and companies would lose the bragging rights game.

Remember the Hasselblad Moto Mod? Abd looking at the review, licensing Hasselblad name is just a marketing gimmick by Oneplus with no real improvement.

                            The only thing I like about the phone is the design

So what, why you nagging for it consumption off 20% more drainage off battery..?
                              Looks like it's costing you from your pocket?
                              People carry powerbanks, slim 5000mah is more than enough .

                              You can't afford to drive buy a car or the cost too run it.

                              So what if 144hz drains battery, I'm getting more smooth transition than 60 or 120hz.

                                Anonymous, 24 Mar 2021I'm thinking neither SD888 or LTPO displays are power ... moreThere are not many situations the screen is gonna work at low RR.
                                If you open a photo and leave it there, the LTPO oled (the Sharp oled phones do it too) is gonna drop the RR to below 60.

                                But there are many apps like social media and browsers that can go beyond 60fps.
                                They are the most used apps. Even Twitter can go 120fps.
                                Depending on the apps you mostly use, you may not see much power saving.

                                It is up to the user to decide if using 90/120/144Hz is worth the extra power consumed.

True it is high, but for that category of smartphone that is the best price you can get, maybe even better than other phones. The OP 9Pro has become the flagship and the regular 9 is the flagship killer at the lower price. You can blame a company for having an excellent phone for a lower price than the competition.

                                    Also reason why those 75-80mm end up with crap 1/3.6" or 1/4".
                                    Bump would be obscene with 1/2.6" for example.

                                      As expected, Oneplus 'partnering' Hasselblad is just a gimmick. It's ironic that Oneplus spent nearly the whole event bragging about Hasselblad expertise this and that, yet the camera still fell flat in independent reviews.

                                        Why smartphone company nowadays put 23-24mm FL on its 1x main camera?

                                        Its too wide + creating more issue, much more prefer if we have 27-28mm. Heck I would love to stretch it up to 35mm for main 1x focal length as we have UWA sensor already.
