If you’re looking to get your hands on OnePlus’s latest handset at the best price, you’ve come to the right place. The OnePlus 9 Pro went on sale on 31 March, followed by the standard OnePlus 9 on 26 April. We’re tracking the best prices on contract and SIM-free on both handsets right here.
It’s worth noting, those trading in their old phone towards a new OnePlus 9 or 9 Pro can now get an additional £60 on top of the standard trade-in value (more on this below).
A little background on the OnePlus 9 series…
The OnePlus 9 phones released on 23 March, just a day after competitor Xiaomi released its budget wunderkinds the Poco X3 Pro and Poco F3, while also commencing sales on the new premium flagship Mi 11 – the 9 Series’ closest rival. The £749 Mi 11 shares the next-gen Snapdragon 888 chip with the OnePlus 9 phones, along with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Yet, the OnePlus 9 upstages with Warp Charge 65T – that’s 65W wired fast charging that should, in theory, replenish the 9 Pro’s 4500mAh battery in just 29 minutes. You also get 50W wireless charging speeds like the Mi 11.
But OnePlus flaunts another trick up its sleeve. Thanks to the company’s partnership with Swedish camera brand Hasselblad – makers of the gear used to photograph the Apollo moon landing – the 9 Series’ greatest advancement is expected in its cameras’ colour accuracy.
The collaboration involves OnePlus’s adoption of Hasselblad’s colour standards with its own computational photography to create a new internal “Natural Color Calibration with Hasselblad” standard. OnePlus promises colours should be pretty close to what you would see with your eyes.
But is it as good as OnePlus says it is? Find out in our full reviews of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro.
As for the cameras themselves, both the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro boast 50Mp ultra-wide and 48MP main sensors, but you can see the full spec sheet and what to expect from both phones in our OnePlus 9 news round-up.
