The OnePlus range was one of the most incredible smartphones for its low prices. The brand is now offering a phone sold for more than $ 990: the OnePlus 9 Pro. It is more expensive than its peers, but still more affordable than other smartphones that offer equivalent design and functionality.
Visually, the OnePlus 9 Pro draws our attention directly. In addition to the beauty of its screen, you should know that it is a next-generation LTPO screen. Something to seduce the experts. This is a technology that allows the phone to consume less energy. Which means the battery lasts longer. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has already adopted it and Apple is considering it in the next iPhone 13 Pro. OnePlus is therefore one of the forerunners in this area.
The OnePlus 9 Pro is an imposing smartphone (163.2 x 73.6 x 8.7 mm) although light: 197 grams. It is not easy to use and even less to keep in your pocket.
Big plus point: its loading speed.
The OnePlus 9 Pro is amazing in terms of charging speed. The battery shows 100% brightness after just half an hour of charging. This means that if you charge your phone with low battery for a few minutes, the time to find your keys and put your shoes on, for example, immediately goes up to 25%. Hyper practical compared to its counterparts from other brands that sell for the same price.
The OnePlus 9 Pro can be wirelessly charged on a stand that holds it vertically. It is so practical that we tend to put it there systematically when we work. So it often charges, even when you don't need it, making it difficult to assess the actual performance of your battery.
Hasseblad to the rescue
The OnePlus 9 Pro has teamed up with Hasselblad, the Swedish camera maker, for the photo. However, we don't feel any real difference from the photos of the OnePlus 8 we tested here. The 9 Pro offers a classic photo module, a wide angle, a telephoto and a macroscope. The photos are spontaneously contrasted. Special mention for its wide angle that stands out in the night version. It offers great versatility in photography, you can do almost anything without having to be an expert in the field.
For sound, the OnePlus 9 Pro is equipped with two speakers and we connect our headphones via Bluetooth 5.2. What we have in our ears is correct without being impressive. Where the OnePlus surprises is its power. With its Snapdragon 888 chip, you can do it all.
In conclusion
The OnePlus 9 Pro is a smartphone that has some minor details (perhaps too large and the quality of its photos is not always convincing) but is generally convincing. On the other hand, frankly it amazes with its loading speed, which greatly facilitates our daily lives, and its responsiveness.
