It’s no secret that OnePus has struggled with consistency with its smartphone cameras over the years, but it aims to put an end to all the negative press with its new OnePlus 9 series.
OnePlus 9 Pro Review
The ONEPULE 9 and ONEPLUE 9 Pro’s new camera sensors have been co-developed under the guiding hand of Swedish camera manufacturer Hasselblad, which promises to bring its iconic colour science to ONEPLUE phone cameras. Hasselblad, famous for its medium format cameras that captured the lunar landings during NASA’s Apollo missions (which explains the teasers), has entered a long-term partnersip with OnePlus.
OnePlus 9 Pro price in India and variants
Battery Capacity4500mAhThe OnePlus 9 Pro₹ 60,999 is available in two variants in India: one with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage priced at Rs. 64,999, and the other with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage price at Rs. 69,999. OnePlus sent me the latter variant for review in the Morning Mist colour. The RAM and storage used on the OnePlus 9 Pro are LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1.
The new higher pricing makes the OnePlus 9 Pro a proper flagship and a full-fledged competitor to Samsung’s S series and Apple’s yearly iPhone refreshes. The OnePlus 8 Pro shed the “flagship killer” image last year when it went all out in terms of features, putting it on par with the big guns. OnePlus has been steadily bumping up its pricing over the years, but compared to the 8 Pro’s modest increase in price last year, this is a sizable jump of nearly Rs. 10,000 over the previous model. A lot of factors have contributed to this such, as the new Hasselblad partnership and material costs, not to mention local taxes.
