   Great value for the money! 6 month review
   This phone is honestly great. Unlocked for your phone carrier and you could also unlock the bootloader too and root, install custom roms etc. I bought this at the time since it was one of the last oneplus phones that gave customers access to msm tools which allows you to restore your phone if you somehow mess up installing custom roms. The phone is fast, amoled screen looks nice and crisp. The snapdragon 888 processor is fast but it does heat up. I’ve rooted the phone and simply underclock it so it actually stays nice and cool all the time and even extends the battery life.If you’re deciding between an older flagship and a midrange phone, I think pretty much you’re always going to get a better deal with an older flagship (betters specs) unless you need a specific feature from a budget phone like sd card or phone jack.My only real complaint about this phone is the in-display fingerprint reader. It’s not as fast as back fingerprint readers but I can’t blame oneplus as android a whole has moved towards using in-display finger readers. Also if your thumb is slightly wet then it likely won’t read your fingerprint.

   Replacing a failing Pixel 3XL, this has done the job quite well, but…there are some quibbles.
   Full disclosure I enjoy the more pure Android eco-system. Having read about One Plus Oxygen being an open source port of Android that gets pretty good reviews I decided to go for the One Plus 9 5G. My carrier is Google Fi, and I was so disappointed they started selling Samsung phones, of which I’m not a fan at all.First thing I noticed after purchasing it was the fit and finish is quite nice. It’s not a brick, not svelte per se, but it has a good weight to it. The width was a welcome change from the Pixel 3XL. That minor reduction in width made this much more capable as a single hand phone. I’m not one to really care about fingerprints but you will get fingerprints all over the back and the face…again, whatevs.The speed. Out of the gate, when I dropped my Google Fi sim into the device the first thing I noticed was the speed. This is a fast tight phone. Which I do appreciate. Especially since my Pixel was on it’s last legs and I really did need a replacement that would be a decent upgrade.If you purchase the unlocked version you should be aware of a few settings so your coverage is taking advantage of both WiFi calling/data, and roaming. Which sort of leads me to believe that since you have to make those adjustments in the settings menu. I wonder how many people have purchased the phone and thought, damn my coverage is awful with this thing. So, I ding them for that….but then, this isn’t a on and done purchase. You have to do a bit of finagling with the hardware. Welcome to Android….lol.Charging. WOW…just WOW. I have a 15w wireless charger I used with my Pixel and it charges the One Plus 9 5G…just fine….and…not sure I get why people complain about the wireless charging but in my experience it’s just fine. At work I charge it connected to a docking station and…..it’s FAST. And that’s using my Pixel charging cable.Battery life. I don’t think this is intended as a battery sipper. it will go through a full charge in a day. With some room to spare. But overall I wasn’t dismayed by the battery life. I’ve tested it with the various and NUMEROUS battery life extension settings on the phone, some of which are confusing…again…welcome to Android. But I like playing around with stuff like this;Camera. Love it. It’s great. I’ve literally taken shots with my Pixel that I regard as stunning. And in the few weeks I’ve had the One Plus 9 5G, can’t complain at all. If anything, I’ve noticed a depth of color in both wide and closer shots that feels more realistic and to be honest I’m kind of shocked at how well the camera works compared to the Pixel 3XL, which…I really loved that camera, a lot. The interface is quite different but it’s responsive and the level of tweeking you can do to get your shot is miles apart from the Pixel.What’s not so great: Well, on the second week I scratched the screen, Just above the fingerprint sensor. I had it in my pocket with some keys, my bad, and I was kind of surprised it scratched so easily. I’ve had my Pixel for over 3 years, handling the exact same way and I never experienced that. The screen never had any wear at all. The scratch isn’t bad, you can only see it if you look at it at an angle. But still. This concerns me.Fingerprint sensor: hit or miss. It’s built into the front of the screen, which is nice. But, it takes multiple tries to unlock, and if your fingers are particularly dry, or just off from the sensor. Yes, you’ll get a warning and have to enter your pin after so many tries. To be honest, this doesn’t bother me that much. But it has been an annoyance a few times.Choices!: There’s a LOT to play with in the settings, for me not a big deal at all, for others….gives me pause. Not sure I’d recommend this phone to someone not into having fun with the settings. Or a person that just wants to turn it on a go.File transfers to Mac: It’d be nice if I could connect the phone to my mac to transfer files. The phone automatically offers a USB driver to install when you connect it to a PC. Not so much with a Mac. There was an article on the One Plus website about enabling developer mode so you could enable USB logging so you could do file transfers….tried it, didn’t work. Not a deal breaker but…..again, not the most user friendly experience.Conclusion: I like the phone, and I think it’ll serve me for what I need it to do. Speed, durability and camera. 5G coverage where I’m at is, spotty, but, have noticed a speed boost when it does show up in the top menu bar…which again…wow, LOADS of icons in the top home screen menu bar…it’s kinda funny. And Camera, I used my camera phone on my Pixel all the time. If this phone’s camera was lackluster or a compromise I would have sent it back fast. But from what I’ve experienced, especially the camera interface, I have a lot to play with and for that I’m excited.

   SCAM DO NOT BUY! DEFECTIVE REFERBISHED PHONES SOLD AS NEW!
   First I’d like to say I pay for prime and my phone was supposed to be delivered on September 10th, stated that it was delivered on September 10th but did not arrive until September 18th. Terrible! The phone is advertised as “new” but I was sold a USED DEFECTIVE phone in September. Intermittently you cannot make phone calls, send text messages, get online. It constantly gets errors on the phone stating that the system memory is full but I just purchased this phone and there’s absolutely nothing saved on it! There is obviously something wrong with the operating system. It seems that this phone is a refurbished phone. I contacted Amazon to refund but they only allow 30 days so I was refused. I contacted OnePlus directly and they refuse to replace the phone because they stated that the phone is from a T-Mobile merchant. Amazon is not a T-Mobile merchant! To top it off they stated that the phone was purchased in January! I purchased the phone in September! This phone is obviously a phone that has been used, defective, refurbished and resold as new. No matter how much you call technical support they can’t even help you. Mind you I used to work for cellular phone companies so I know how to do technical support myself and this phone still does not work. After 5 factory resets, OnePlus still tells me that they can’t replace the phone because it’s beyond the warranty time because the phones IMEI shows up as a T-Mobile phone purchased in January! I don’t know if they’re blind or if they just don’t know how to read and comprehend a receipt from Amazon. This is insanity I purchased this phone for my my child’s birthday and to also use for emergency purposes to and from school. My child now has no phone to use. Amazon refuses to help, there is no way to contact the seller, and OnePlus the manufacturer even though I have emailed them all the receipts….they are useless, just like this phone useless. The incompetency and the lack of customer service is disgusting. They have my money and I have a phone that doesn’t work. Seems like an easy way to get quick cash scam sell them on Amazon so they can’t return. …Do not buy from this seller or OnePlus go somewhere else!!!

   Pour un Oneplus 9 neuf à 440 $ , le rapport qualité-prix est excellent.Il est rapide et j’aime la détection du visage. Je n’avais pas cela avec mon pixel 6.

   Sin duda es uno de los mejores celulares que eh probado, si lo encuentras en promoción de 6,000 pesos yo terminé pagando 7,000 por los impuestos de USA. México, ya que este celular viene de estados unidos y también es la versión estado unidense, por lo que viene con cargador apto para México…Hablando del celular puedo decir que a mi gusto es muy bonito, me fascina este color morado que tiene, considero que el tamaño es perfecto ya que no es ni pequeño ni grandisimo, la pantalla plana me gusta mucho ya que no te problemas como podria darte un pantalla curva, el peso del celular también es muy bueno pesando aprox unos 185 gramos, y también es delgado com unos marcos considerablemente reducidos, en cuanto a al software este celular es muy potente con el procesador Snapdragon 888 aunque algo que he notado y no me gustó (creo que es el problema mas notorio del celular) es el calentamiento, este procesador en general tiene fama de calentarse considerablemente y puede hacerlo mucho dependiendo del clima en el que estes y también del uso que le estes dando, otra cosa que no me gustó mucho es la duración de la batería dandote cómo Maximo unas 6 hrs de pantalla con uso moderado con el 100% de bateria, y también depende mucho del uso que le des, con un uso rudo la bateria te da como unas 3-4 hrs, eso usando los 120htz de pantalla, la solución a esto es que tiene una carga muy rapida de 67w y la verdad es una de las cosas que mas me gusto de este dispositivo cargando el celular en aproximadamente unos 40-45 minutos del 10-100% y con tan solo 20 minutos que lo conectes tienes mas del 60% cargado por lo cual este celular me encanto, en general creo que el celular es muy completo, sus camaras con colaboración con Hasselblad son buenas, toma fotos mas que cumplidoras asi que si encuentras este celular en menos de 7,000 con todo e impuestos te lo recomiendo mucho, otra cosa que quiero aclarar es que es compatible con todas las compañías en México, yo uso la compañía Bait, por si alguien tenia la duda.

   Me gustó la calidad del equipo. Buenas sensaciones en mano, buena pantalla los 120 hz son un súper plus, la batería me dura casi 2 días utilizándolo para lo necesario, carga al 100 en menos de 20 min, acepta el Android 13, excelente sistema operativo totalmente personalizable, vengo de un iPhone y me gusta mucho como lo puedes personalizar.

   In the descriptions it is mentioned that it is dual sim. But the model is SINGLE SIM
