OnePlus - 9 5G 128GB Unlocked - Winter Mist

Love the product. Swopping data over from old phone was simple and quick. Screen refresh rate is impressive along with resolution, very smooth.Quality of the buttons on the side feels well made and not cheap or easy to break.Options to "overclock" the device by having options to assign extra 4GB of RAM to use. Very useful for gaming, which runs so fast and smoothly!Everything else is very intuitive and really quick and easy to learn and to adapt to features that were new to me. It didn't take more than a day or so to feel fully comfortable and acquainted with the phone.All in all, too happy with this model, very different to the Samsung S series in terms of the the normal functioning or menus and navigation, but if you not locked into a brands way of doing ... MoreLove the product.

Last time I make any decision on reviews. When I purchased phone reviews were almost all positive 5 star. Now give it a few months later and looks like not only I jumped on the making a decision by reading reviews. The phone itself suck, the camera is almost seeing thru the eyes of a 140 year old senior with cataracts. Don't even bother trying to install headphones with a 3.5mm Jack ain't going to happen. The gallery portion of phone likes to magically erase photos before they are even backed up onto the cloud. Did I mention no sd slot so you can't even back up those erased photos onto the SD card before phone maliciously erases them without your permission. The wifi antenna must not have been installed on these phone because good luck getting wifi even if you are ... MoreLast time I make any decision on reviews.

The wifi antenna must not have been installed on these phone because good luck getting wifi even if you are standing right next to router. Memory on this is right in line with those extinct birds called do do birds. You know the ones that walked right off a cliff because they didn't remember it was there. And finally let talk about their awkward power button configuration and location. My 4 month old granddaughter could have come up with a better location than these idiots. Just a complete disaster of an idea. I was really praying One Plus was going to be the next generation phone but unfortunately I don't see that coming down the pipe line anytime soon. Looks like I'm sending my back to T Mobile. It can be their problem now not mine. Be aware if you can

Amazing phone for amazing price in amazing quality.

Everything about this phone is very well rounded and balanced for the price. The only thing your missing out on is the super fast charging (because no charger comes wiith the phone) although those who charge overnight won't really notice, and it has pretty enough juice to get you through the day with about 6 hrs of screen on time (after a year of battery usuage) with light and heavy usage throughout the. The cameras are better than anything for the price and ultrawide is a extra treat with its high quality and low distortion as well consistent color balance. The selfie camera is the only slight weak point being more of mid range quality but well above average for this price point. The display is decently sharp and very fluid and snappy with 120 hz refresh rate. ... MoreEverything about this phone is very well rounded and balanced for the price.

The display is decently sharp and very fluid and snappy with 120 hz refresh rate. Overall phone performance is really fast at everything with no lag in opening and executeing any tasks you throw at it. Gets a little hot sometimes though during gaming. Overall form factor is bigger than average and isn't really a one handed phone, but isn't too big its becomes a hindrance. The software feels clean and bloatware free, and retains stock android feel while adding some meaningful features. Haptics and biometrics are good too, with subtle feeling vibrations(Has classic oneplus alert slider too) and a fingerprint scanner/face unlock that quick to use and setup. Retains relative new feeling in excellent condition even if it was bought used. Over all great phone for the price with some flagship bells and whistles too.

Best phone for 200$. Period.

Best bang for the buck out there right now. I got a Pixel 6 Pro for 300$ and this thing is 90% of the phone the Pixel is, sure the Oneplus lacks a curved 1440p display, an amazing speaker and the breathtaking camera of the Pixel BUT the user experience is honestly better, the form factor, the design, the feel and the software (hot take, I know) makes it a better user experience than the Pixel for the average user. The only complaint I have is my device came with 3900 mAh instead of 4500 mAh battery but that is to be expected since its over 2 years old. The phone's condition is excellent, no dents, no scratches anywhere it almost looks brand new. TL;DR Best phone for 200$ nothing comes remotely close.

CAN'T HAVE A CASE ON IT BECAUSE OF POCKET MODE WHICH ISN'T A N OFF OPTION!

Garbage. There's so many issues I have with this phone since day one. The biggest issue I have is that there was an update that won't allow me to take off pocket mode. When pocket mode is on I can't have a case on my phone. Because I can't have a case on my phone, there is so much damage done to my phone that I'm going to have to buy a new one. The phone is very slippery therefore it's hard to keep it from sliding out of my pocket or from falling because of common mistakes. I've been on the phone with T-Mobile a few times four hours try to figure out how to take pocket mode off and at the end of it I was told it wasn't an option!! This is the worst one I've ever had and I won't ever buy this type of phone again! It's unfortunate that I bought this phone at full ... MoreGarbage.

It's unfortunate that I bought this phone at full price years ago, only because T-Mobile store associates bragged about how good of a phone it was. Word of advice, don't listen to any store associates!

[Rewarded Review] Great Phone, Several Shortcomings

This is both an impressive and underwhelming phone. If you're looking for a phone with a good camera, stop reading here and go buy something else. This phone has a TERRIBLE camera. No optical image stabilization (keeps the camera from shaking if you're moving a lot) at this price is absolutely ridiculous, especially since the camera is one of the big marketing features of this phone. Not to mention the image processing is just garbage here. You'd be better off getting something like the Pixel 4a 5G if you're interested in camera performance.As far as the rest of the phone, it's RIDICULOUSLY fast. Seriously, you won't notice any stutters or slowdowns whatsoever and it's a great phone for gaming. The speakers are crazy good too when you're watching videos.

The screen is bright and beautiful and the phone has a ton of custumisation options to make it look and feel just the way you want it to.One thing I wish it would have is a better build quality. The back is made of glass but it feels like cheap plastic. Not only that, but the sides of the phone ARE made of plastic and the mute/vibrate switch on the side is very loose. It just doesn't feel like a $730 phone. If it was $500 or even $600 I could excuse these shortcomings, but not at this price. Phones like the Black Shark 4 that are just as powerful have full aluminum bodies which feel much better in the hand and are almost $250 less.Overall, it's a decent phone, but I would wait for it to come down to around the $600 mark, as I think that's the sweet spot for this one.

[Rewarded Review] Great phone for the money

I have always been a big fan of OnePlus. They include fast hardware and it runs Oxygen OS which is a huge bonus. The cameras have always been a little behind, but with the Hassleblad partnership, these cameras are just about as good as the flagship phones. They may not have all of the cool features, but will certianly get the job done. Wireless charging is now available, which is great to see. And 65W fast charging is incredible. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase

[Rewarded Review] High-Performance Flagship at a Competitive Price

With the powerful Snapdragon 888 processor and 120Hz AMOLED display, this phone delivers smooth performance whether you’re gaming, multitasking, or just browsing social media. The 5G connectivity and 128GB of storage add to its appeal, making it a great option for users who want speed and reliability without breaking the bank.The camera setup, featuring a 48MP main sensor and 50MP ultra-wide, produces vibrant and detailed photos, enhanced by the partnership with Hasselblad. While it’s not the absolute best in mobile photography, it certainly holds its own in this price range.

Battery life is solid, and the Warp Charge 65T fast charging is incredibly convenient, giving you a full charge in just under 30 minutes.However, the phone does have a few drawbacks. The design, while sleek, might feel less premium due to the plastic-like feel of the back, and some users have reported occasional connectivity issues. Additionally, the lack of IP68 certification for the unlocked model means you’ll need to be careful around water.Overall, the OnePlus 9 offers a lot of value for its price, especially if you’re looking for a powerful, high-performing Android phone that doesn’t come with the premium price tag of other flagships.

[Rewarded Review] OnePlus 9

My Pixel 4a met its end while I was unloading luggage on a cold, dreary night. Now, I have the OnePlus 9.And it's fine.I wrapped it in a case (lesson learned), knocked the refresh rate down to 60hz (get yourself a little bit more battery life), and went about the task of rethinking my ringtone.Coming from the Pixel 4a, there are a few life upgrades:1. The OnePlus 9's display gets much brighter. The Pixel 4a did sometimes struggle on particularly sunny days.2. The alert slider is nice. I don't use it much, but it's nice that it's there.3. I can remove the Google search bar from the home screen, or at least make it shorter. The stock Android experience on the Pixel line is cool, but sometimes I wished I could just remove that dang search bar on the ... MoreMy Pixel 4a met its end while I was unloading luggage on a cold, dreary night.

The stock Android experience on the Pixel line is cool, but sometimes I wished I could just remove that dang search bar on the 4a.There are some downgrades, as well:1. The speakers on the OnePlus 9 are good, but the $349 Pixel 4a has richer sound, in my opinion.2. On the Pixel 4a, you can make the icons pretty big, making for some fun layout options. The max icon size directly available through settings in Oxygen OS, unless I'm missing something, is pretty darn small.3. The phone is big, in my opinion. If OnePlus ever decides to sell a smaller phone in North America again, I'd be all in.Overall, it's been a good initial experience; I've only had the phone for about one week as I write this. Yes, Oxygen OS has gotten some much deserved grief for, among other things, storage management issues, but it's hardly the only operating system with... issues. Heck, even the vaunted iOS has run into problems with the iPhone 14 launch. Android 12 was also an adventure on the Pixel 6, apparently.In any case, I look at my new phone in its TPU encasement and wonder if phone manufacturers should put some form of their branding on the camera bump because I've already had someone ask me, "Hasselblad? What's a Hasselblad phone?"

[Rewarded Review] Overall, big improvement over my Pixel 4 XL.

Overall, I love this phone. I was hesitant about OxygenOS because I was moving from a Pixel 4 XL, because I loved the stock Android experience and something like Samsung's One UI is really unappealing to me. There are a few things I would obviously love to have that are exclusive to pixels, but overall I think I prefer OxygenOS. I absolutely love the color of this phone. I also find it much more balanced than the Pixel 4 XL - that phone was top heavy and felt like it was going to fall out of my hand all the time, this phone just sits nicely and even though it's extremely slick I've never really felt as though I was going to drop it.It does suck that I won't get speedy Android updates.The cameras are also somewhat lacking in comparison to my pixel 4 XL, I think ... MoreOverall, I love this phone.

It could definitely be better, but it's sufficient for me.The display is beautiful, color saturation can be customized which is amazing - I personally like much more vibrant colors, and the Pixel's don't have an option this vibrant. I would have liked to have a 1440p screen, but on a screen this size it really doesn't make a difference.
