Editorial report

OnePlus 9 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The OnePlus 9 suits anyone looking for an all-round phone with hardware among the most powerful of its time. Its appeal is the combination of high-end hardware, a strong display and flexible charging, with several specifications better than those of most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.55″ AMOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, 402 ppi density and 1100 nits peak brightness; each figure is better than that of most phones of its time. There is 256 GB of storage, more than most contemporaries, plus 12 GB RAM, among the largest capacities of its time. Storage cannot be expanded.

For photography, the 1/1.43″ sensor in the 48 MP rear camera is among the largest of its time, and the camera overall stands better than most. The phone also has a 50 MP ultrawide camera and records video at up to 8K at 30 fps. Its 4500 mAh battery supports 65 W wired charging, faster than most phones of its time, as well as 15 W wireless charging, among the highest power levels. Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and Bluetooth 5.2. The overall NeoScore is 7.0. This is a compelling option for people who prioritize powerful hardware, a standout display and a choice of wired or wireless charging.
