Five best things about owning a OnePlus 9 Pro - Android Police

In smartphone years, OnePlus has just started coming of age, spreading its wings to enter new verticals and price segments.

The newest Pro has taken the biggest leap a OnePlus phone has taken in years to improve camera quality.

But outside its newfound photography capabilities, the phone has a lot else going for it.

While it’s as sharp and bright as the 8 Pro’s, where it stands out is its new LTPO backplane, ostensibly allowing the phone to dynamically dial down the refresh rate to just 1Hz (versus the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s 10Hz lowest figure) to conserve some battery.

It’s mind-boggling how fast smartphone charging has gotten in just a few years.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is one of the fastest charging mainstream flagships out there as it guarantees a full charge in just 30 minutes.

It can easily get you a day’s worth of juice with just a few minutes of charging (which truly spoils other phones for you).

With its Hasselblad partnership, OnePlus was able to make some real changes to the 9 Pro’s cameras, which come through in the form of improved color science.

The 9 Pro retains some of the inconsistencies that we have pointed out with previous OnePlus phones, too.

One of the biggest perks about owning a OnePlus phone remains the Alert Slider.
