My honest review on the OnePlus 9 Pro.

So I've been with this phone for 3 days. And would like to say it's a love hate relationship. To keep things simple I will break it down to Pros and Cons as below:

Pro's:
- The new curved edge glass is really easier to grab compared to 7 Pro and 8 pro. Slightly straight down curved enhanced the grip.
- Less wide body compared to 7 pro and 8 pro for better single hand grip usage.
- SD888 no doubt the best processor out there, fast and powerful.
- Loud speaker is loud and powerful compared to my Samsung S20+
- 65W fast charging combo with 50w fast wireless charging is freaking fast.
- OxygenOS not as buggy as many people.claims. I never notice that bugs or anything that could affect my daily usage.
- Stunning Display no doubt, you get full accurate colour with this new display.

Con's (please bear with me on this) *inhales*
- Overheating, 1st day using on FB and LYN while charging it warns me of Overheating, yes the phone is warm. The phone does get quite warm when you're using any heavy processing apps.
- Camera, picture are OK but the over sharpening of pictures sometimes really can irritates your eyes.
- Camera again, it takes photos a second slower after u press the button, example, RGB lightings, when u snap the photo is green led colour but the photo processed has changed to yellow. 1 second slower.
- Alert Slider is way to small to be felt Everytime, if you plan to use a thick casing, u need to use your nails to slide it up and down, the alert slider is way too small in size this time.
- Battery life, if on full usage, full charge on 7am morning it only last me till 1pm and 15% battery left, while on my 7T Pro I can go all day till 7pm to reach down to 15%. Same daily usage.
- Fingerprint sensor position, it's really low, I mean so low sometimes u can't even end call, when u press end call it unlocks the phone since it's the same freaking position, I tot I end call but ended up unlocking the screen.
- Stuttering when scrolling is one of the bugs that you will encounter daily. Scrolling up and down and suddenly it stutters for a few seconds then back to normal.
- Pricy for it's specs. Retails in US for $1069 there are really better phone that can outperforms the OnePlus 9 Pro anytime.

So far all I can think of are these. Only hope the new updates can fix the bugs and help the battery life.

Horrible battery life... Thanks for honest advise!
I'll wait for 9T, already jump ship into S21 ultra.

F3 legend, 256gb baru 1.6k

sounds like a past for me

Well exactly what I faced earlier. I can't bear with 3 main things which are heat, battery life and stuttering. Hope OOS will fix all these on their coming software. However these 3 main things been overcome in ColorOs which I'm very happy with it as now. Cheers!

As the phone is still coping with my usage it will improve overtime but the battery life is still bad as of now.

Wait for the 9t or more updates to improve the phone first then make ur decisions.

Waiting, patiently, for the updates on OxygenOS. 😭

Nice write-up!

I noticed on overheating, you mentioned using it while charging - was this while warp-charging via the original cable and adapter? I’d imagine it wouldn’t heat up if you were using it while slow charging via a power bank or so? Also, is the stuttering while scrolling related to the adaptive refresh rate? I read that there is no option to fix the refresh rate at 120hz.

Its was on the WarpCharge 65 charger with original cables. Now im using back my WarpCharge 35 from my 7 Pro and havent seen overheating issue since.

There is a way to force 120hz display in the registry log but it would just make no sense to use it right, since the phone is LTPO Adaptive Refresh Rate tech, forcing it it to 120hz might as well stick back to my 8t haha

Was planning to do a case review and my poetic casing decided to come off with my UV Glue TG😭

Ok bro, thanks for the clarification. Seems a bit underwhelming so far based on your experience and most reviewers too. Curious to see how it’ll be priced like in Malaysia when it launches here officially.

i heard 4899 for 12/256 la. but wait for the official announcement lo.

For the price and the brand name, the CONS are admittedly not acceptable by all means. I personally think those who intend to purchase the 9 Pro should seriously consider these points before making their purchase.

At that price, good luck to them!

I must say the stuttering and relatively poor battery life is a bit of a surprise, but inferior camera performance still vs the competition is kinda expected.

Ya bro. That is what that irks me. The software developers can't even get such simple shit right and they dare to launch the phone. This is total embarrassment and an insult to the Oneplus brand name.

I think the conclusion is pretty obvious this round, save your money and avoid this year's flagship androids running SD888.

No choice, early adopters always like this, but can see the contributors for OxygenOS are also not happy with 1+ themselves now. OxygenOS fix bugs but add a few more new bugs in every updates.

The battery life for me is more like maybe the phone still not used to my usage style, but today i can notice significantly better battery, 7am full charge now still 60%, last few days really bad.

Haha... u have to hold on in there.
