This is the OnePlus 9 pro. This is the Hasselblad camera set it comes with, and this is the box it comes inside in the darkest hour now. This is the box. It's pretty much the same as every year. It's a pretty sexy box, but except this year they don't have the big nine and pro in the top left corner like a big, bold black, color kind of sucks, but it's okay. Then here is the phone, and it's the usual unboxing experience from OnePlus, and it looks very, very nice.
I love this thing that they always wrap it around in it makes it look perfect, and it gives you a good perfect. First impressions and they're really, really good at giving that off and in my opinion they have the best unboxing experience of any phone that I've ever opened and plus it comes with a case. It's a very nice case. I like the quality of it, it's good and a big thanks to them and a lot of appreciation for them for actually including the chargers inside the box, and this is a 65 watt charger. It's not any charger, and we're going to talk about it later, because this thing is a beauty in itself and then finally, you got the usual paperwork and all of that, and they love advertising their Hasselblad collaboration.
But we'll talk about that later, so this guy here not a heavy phone, not a light phone is coming in at 197 grams, and it feels good in a hand as per usual, and one plus are really, really good at nailing. The premiums of their flagships now OnePlus seemed to have joined the trend this year and make their phones a matte finish, which I really like this color specifically is very, very good at not attracting a lot of fingerprints, so that looks perfect there. It's also a relatively nice color. It's no matte black though, and hopefully I'll get my hands on the matte black one soon, but either way. Overall, it's a very solid phone.
It's a very good-looking phone. It has a really nice design. I personally love the design this year. Some things I know. I have comments about and some a bit of speculation, but it's an all-around, very nice phone.
You got USB and the usual. You got a screen on the front, and you got there a whole new Hasselblad setup, which we will get into a bit later and then that matte finish on the back, but overall physically it's a very, very nice aesthetically pleasing phone. Furthermore, you can see that with your eyes, and you can feel it with your hands now you're staring right at the display. So let me tell you a little about it. It is a 6.7 inch, AMOLED, 1440p, 120 hertz display, and it goes up to 1300 nits in brightness, which is pretty good. It's decent.
Overall, though the specs, for it are very, very nice and in practice it is really, really nice to use. Resolution is on point. The 120 hertz is so, so nice and there's something called adaptive mode, which I'll tell you about later. But overall my experience with OnePlus displays has always been perfect, and this is definitely no exception. Now we're going to have a proper look at these cameras later on in this video, but a quick, quick kind of like look from now.
First off the images are good right, but the image in the viewfinder are so unbelievably bad in comparison to the final processed image. It's so weird, and it's like this with OnePlus phones. I don't know why, but just you know just so you know, and then this is the case that it came with earlier that I forgot to put on it, looks nice it's I actually really like the material. Last year, they got like a trans, a transparent case. I didn't like that.
This is a very nice version of it, and it goes with the color of the phone if you're getting this color- and I like this kind of halfway blue green kind of thing but yeah- that's the unboxing. I hope you kind of got a good idea of what to expect if you are going to be buying this phone. This is what it looks like, but anyway, first impressions, let's go now from the physical aspect of things, I'm very, very happy to see that OnePlus are still rocking the alert slider allowing you to physically, very quickly change from silent to vibrate to ring mode and apple. You know, apply their alert slider, but it's not the same as this, because you got all three options here and it just it's so getting perfect. Every company should do it.
I'm just very happy that OnePlus we're doing this. I hope we don't lose it. Furthermore, I hope it's here to stay, but it's nice to see that on for another year and then in terms of the actual build I've said it before in this video: it's a good-looking phone, it feels premium, and it looks premium as usual, and just a bit of a comment to make is that I think they've taken a little of inspiration here from iPhone in terms of the design of the back. They centered the OnePlus logo this year. The same way, apple recently centered their apple logos on the iPhone and then in terms of the camera bump, they decided to separate the camera lens from the actual camera bump.
So you can see the individual lenses very clearly. The same way apple did that with the iPhone 11 Pro I'm not complaining here, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. It's a nice design, and it looks really, really good. It's just a little comment I wanted to make. I feel, like you know, I do see the resemblance there, but they've done it very nicely so good for them.
Now, since it looks like we're seeing a trend of matte phones this year, this has joined the group of being a very, very slippery phone. This is included, and it's not specifically just this. It's just because it's matte, it's very slippery. Now it's not as easy to grip as a glossy, and you're more likely to drop it. But it's a small thing in terms of the color options, you got the matte black option, which I'm very, very happy to see, and I'm trying to get my hands on that.
But in terms of this green one for first impressions, it does not show any fingerprints which I was very, very interested to see and then looking at the front from you know kind of the display aspect of things. It's got the curved edges like it has last year and the year before me. Personally, I love this. I've never found it to be a functional issue in terms of accidental touches and that sort of thing all it does for me is make the phone look better, and it can only be a pro in my book. So I'm very, very happy to see that it does that very, very well.
Talking about the display, I told you I would talk about the adaptive 120hz display, which is something they call LPO technology where basically, depending on what you're doing on the phone, depending on the content, it will change from 1 hertz to 120 hertz all in order to save batteries. So if you don't need to be on 120hz, it saves it. It takes it down, and you're saving battery that way. Yet you get the pros of a 120 hertz display. So you know it's a nice kind of thing there now talking about the display in the display is an in display fingerprint, and you know that it is all good.
Something kind of quick to say is that it's weirdly low down, I think you may have noticed this first thing is you'll get used to it. You get used to a straight away, I'm I already am used to it, because I've been using the s10 between phones that I've reviewed. So I'm really used to the slowdown thing. It's very, very easy to get used to you will get used to it. I don't even think about it, but it is a little weird.
I don't know why they didn't put it up higher and then also for the display. You got the punch hole in the top it's in the top left, which looks absolutely fine. I think it would have looked a little better if it was centered, but even more, so I would have loved to have seen a motorized camera because on the OnePlus 7 pro they put a motorized camera and I think it was really cool and if they continue to do so with last year's 8 pro and now the 9 pro I imagine they could have improved it and added to it, and so they would still manage to get the ip681 dust resistance and add many other improvements to let it suit the environments now and just work as a 2021 phone. If they'd continue to work on it, it would have been nice to see that. But you know whatever this works, not as cool though, but something that I'm really really really looking forward to on this phone is the charging.
I've used an OnePlus phone before I used warp charge 30, and it was fast. It was really fast, but it would only get you like 60 in 30 minutes, and I couldn't believe it this year. It's a hundred percent in 30 minutes. Furthermore, it's crazy, it's absolutely crazy. So I look forward to using that they're legends for keeping the power brick in the box, and I hope they continue to do so.
It's one of their like trademark things, it's one of those things that really separates OnePlus from the rest in a very strong non-gimmicky way. So it's nice to see that here, and it's nice to see that they keep improving it and to explain warp charge 65 as to how it works. Basically, there are two cells for the battery inside the phone, and they add up to the 4 500 William hour battery, that's inside it, and they charge in parallel. So they charge faster. Yet they still manage to keep a relatively large battery and that's kind of that's kind of how it works.
It's very simple! Yet I don't know why other companies don't do it. It's smart, simple, easy, and it's super effective, and I'll. Tell you about my experience with it in my review now I told you guys at the beginning of this video that I would get into the cameras, and that is what I will do so. First off in the software set of things, everybody knows about this Hasselblad collaboration and OnePlus we're doing with house of blood, and it shows in the software they have a new shutter and a sound when you, when you click the shutter, it's like an orange shutter now, and it has a cool sound. So that's just you know it's kind of cool stuff there and, in terms of the camera app it's very easy to change the specs of your video, like the frame rate, the resolution, the aspect ratio right from the top of the camera app very, very quickly, very nice to see that there I like, I like the way they dealt with that and then something.
Finally, I want to say is that the image I said this before, but the image in the viewfinder, which is the live image you're, seeing while you're taking a picture, looks so, so bad, mainly on the ultra-wide when you're taking a picture in comparison to what the actual final processed image will look like. It looks so unbelievably bad on the viewfinder. Just I don't know why I've seen this on OnePlus phones before I don't understand it, but then for the cameras themselves. You have three cameras and a depth sensor. You got a 48 megapixel main sensor, an 8 megapixel 3.3 times optical zoom, camera interesting, and then you have a 50 megapixel ultrawide with dual pixel autofocus, which is very nice to see so now this here with ultrawide, it's much more equal in quality to the main sensor, which I think is really, really good to see. It's a much larger sensor and apparently one closer thing.
It has an edge distortion of one percent in comparison to an edge distortion of about 10 percent that you'll find with most other brands and other phones. You know: that's that's what they're saying there, so I don't know how true that is, but it's nice to know and from the use with it, you can record 8k with the ultrawide, along with the main, which is very cool, to see, so you're getting that extra angle and the 8k by the way on this phone is about a thousand times better than the 8k on Samsung. They don't crop in this stabilization looks so good on the 8k, and it also looks so good on the rest of the video as well you're getting 4k to 120 frames, which is super cool, and they seem to have really killed it with this ultrawide. But you know this is just first impressions. This is what I've seen so far in my first two days of using it.
So just you know you can look at the videos for yourself, but I will have a lot more samples and images and videos to show you in the review so stay tuned for that. So that's the cameras. But overall my question is because it's priced as a low-end flagship at around 830 pounds. Will it just be a low-end flagship, or will it be a high-end flagship at the price of a low-end flagship? That's that's the question that I have because I'm I'm liking the pricing here. I think it's very reasonable, and it's going to go down tremendously by the way.
Androids always do so. That's always something to keep your eyes out for and OnePlus make very, very good flagship, so uh, let's just see how it runs out, and I'll. Tell you about my experience in the review and my final thoughts, because you know these were just first impressions but yeah. I really hope you guys enjoy the video.
