OnePlus 9 | Unboxing & Full Tour

Unboxing the OnePlus 9, including a tour of the triple-lens camera hardware and features, OxygenOS 11.2, and testing the gaming chops with Genshin Impact. This 2021 flagship is more affordable than the Pro model, but the OnePlus 9 does make some sacrifices. For instance, the primary camera has been switched out and the telephoto lens axed entirely. You also get slower wireless charging support, and the display isn't as premium.

All the same, the OP9 should prove stiff competition for Samsung's S20 FE and other upper-mid-range smartphones. That Snapdragon 888 chipset means smooth performance, backed in this Winter Mist model by 12GB DDR5 RAM. Gamers will get good returns from the most demanding Android titles, including Genshin. Plus the OnePlus 9 serves up special game features to help boost your abilities.

As for the camera tech, it's a 48MP primary sensor backed by a 50MP ultra-wide shooter with anti-distortion tech. You also have a simple monochrome lens, but no telephoto shooter.

Stay tuned for a full review, and you can also see my Pro coverage and a comparison with OnePlus' new phones here on Tech Spurt.

Typing this on the the oneplus 9. Not disappointed. Fast and very responsive. My third OP phone after the 7T and 8. Also found a great case to put on it to prevent getting any finger prints on the back

Many would discuss about OnePlus 9 pro, but for me it is not affordable, glad to watch someone talking about OnePlus 9, which I could buy! Thanks Tech Spurt!

One of the best part of watch this guys review is looking at those crisp badass anime wallpapers 🌚🔥

I have pre-ordered. Was massively impressed with my oneplus 6t. I considered the pro, but for an extra £200 I couldn't see the benefit. I like the new display, the better camera, slightly better build quality, but don't need to spend that much money extra to get that.

I like of the OnePlus 9, the up to date SOC, 120hz display, new cameras, among all the other improvements that make it a suitable upgrade from my 6t. So pretty happy with it, and 629 for the 8gb version is an excellent price for me

You should definitely do a comparison with the Xiaomi mi 11

Since it doesnt come with OIS, how is the video stabilization when compared with OnePlus 8 pro which came with OIS??....If im paying this price at least i want the camera to not be worse than its predecessor

It looks ok, no headphone Jack, no water resistance rating, no iOS on the camera and a bit of a question mark on the frame materials for me.
Does it have a zoom on the camera, I missed that bit.
The speakers seemed to get a bit of a average rating, and that is a downer IMO.
A charger in the box is nice, and I like the flat screen and 888.
I don’t think I’d trade my galaxy or iPhone for it though.

@2:52 Erm excuse me, but the OG Nord still has the alert slider.

[pongoni]

while everyone is unboxing the 9 pro.. here comes techspurt with the base model op9 😁😁😁

[coreywolff]

How would you compare the camera to the 8T and 9 Pro?

[Samir-kzgb]

the thing I like about hime is that He doesn't gaf about views!

[stacyanderson]

I absolutely love your humor !! I'd watch your videos for humor and accent alone, but like your content as well !! 👍😘

[Mubashir_AK]

No OIS? The Nord had it! What are they trying to pull here?

Thanks for reviewing the standard Oneplus 9

[TheAaronJP]

I'm still going to hold onto my oneplus 7t. I'll wait for the 10t or jump back onto xiaomi.

[danielp]

THANK YOU for showing that swipe down for notifications is still there, one of my favorite features that almost nobody mentions
I also really like what aspects you decided to show in the Video and of course that "Skip skip skip" Chapter :D
Will probably upgrade from my OP 3T which is still surprisingly good, but my volume button starts to have problems...

[thomasalkmaar]

Is there still a overheating issue? or did they solve it at recent updates?

[AngryMidget]

At 4:45 is that new and only on the 9 and 9pro? Is does the 8 series have that as well?

[liamorr]

Mate I have a shitty samsung 5 about 5/6 years old and in for a new phone. Was waiting for the oneplus 9 but the reviews seem a bit mixed. What would you recommend, the 9 or go for the cheaper 8T if the 9s not worth the extra. Or is there another phone you'd recommend. Like your videos so if you can just say one phone I'll trust your judgement! Cheers buddy. Can't get in a shop at the mo to try one on for size so your help would be much appreciated!
