Question So...did anyone actually buy the OnePlus 9 Pro?

[lewis12]

If so what was your reasoning and did you go direct or through a carrier deal? If you did upgrade what phone did you have before?

 

[Techno-Freak]

Upgraded from my perfectly fine OnePlus 6T (purchased in November 2018), just because the deal on OnePlus 9 Pro was really good. But I'm now really happy with the overall performance of the 9 Pro.

I bought the 12 GB/256 GB Stellar Black version through my carrier (in Belgium). It's not a carrier locked phone, fully unlocked. The price was € 999, but with € 349 one time payment, and rest in 24 monthly installments (with usage included).
But the pre-order offer between 23 March and 31 March had a € 240 cash-back from OnePlus, and the wireless charger included. So I pre-ordered it. Got the phone on 2nd April.
Also, my employer reimburses my monthly mobile+Internet bill, so I don't have to worry about the monthly installments as well.
If I break the contract with the carrier, I have to pay the remaining costs, that's just it.

Hello there, I came from OP8 Pro international version which I still have, I've got me OP9 Pro Chinese version (LE2120) and I'm already pleased with this phone, took some underwater pictures, slow mo video, the camera itself is better than OP8 pro, 5G works really well in my area, it feels that it has better 5G connectivity, now that's my personal opinion based on what's important to me, camera and signal, I can't tell you anything as far as performance for gaming because I'm not a gamer. Overall I'm really happy with my upgrade.

Bought global LE2125 direct from oneplus.com. It replaced my still very functional Samsung Note 3 that's been my only device for the last 7.5 years. The main reason I finally upgraded this year was SD888 has 5g modem built in, not side modem chip. Went with oneplus since in the U.S. it's almost the only option for a phone you can unlock the bootloader and have a decent chance of a dev/mod/theme community. Also was forced to relocate due to one of the stupid hurricanes destroying my home last year and my Note 3 didn't get very good signal due to limited antennae not utilizing all possible spectrum. Loving my 9 pro!

Note 3? God I hope you were running a modern version of Android for security reasons.
Anyway, I came from a Note 9 after it was crushed and would have cost more to repair than a new Note 9. Got it through TMobile USA.

OnePlus 9 Pro Global LE2125 bought used but like new! Coming from my OnePlus 8 Pro which will be eventually sold...

I switched to OP9 Pro from a 7 Pro because after screen replacement the finger print reader did not work properly.
However I am partly regretting this switch already because the 9 Pro feels slower than the 7 Pro, mostly due to its heavy and slow vertical scrolling which does not outweigh the small performance boost and 120 Hz in everyday use.

Bought a 9 Pro yesterday.
Found a deal at $900 for a device in the box.
Coming from a 7 Pro.

Got the 9 Pro 12/256 and came from my McLaren (Best phone i ever had)

I got mine yesterday and today I've been having lots of fun with it.
My Razer Phone 2 battery was dying it was on its last leg, it kept shutting down out of the blue, so I was forced to switch to a new phone.
Did a google search on Saturday for best phone in 2021 and 1+9 Pro topped the charts across board.
Did another search for accessories and found everything I needed in Amazon.
Ordered both the same day and the case + screen protector arrived on Sunday.

Last night I spend several hours transfering stuff from my old Razer Phone 2 to 1+9 Pro and wow it was easy.
It was the most effortless transfer ever, but the size took hours over WiFi
Aprox 40 GB of data.
Then another 2 ~ 3 hours with Titanium Backup to restore all Data, and wow that was sweet.
I was able to use the phone by the time I woke up this morning with just minor inconvenience like typing the password again for some Apps.

I was surprised most of my old phones Google settings, including Phone specific settings was able to get transferred as well.

Now the only problem I have after rooting is NO Netflix, it won't let me install Netflix, it won't let me sideload it.

Still trying to figure out how to get Netflix working in 1+9 Pro rooted.

The only negative thing about this phone, are the speakers... not strong enough, they sound nice, but no where near loud and clear enough as my old Razer Phone 2

Can't get that Movie Theather feel when watching or listening to music with the 1+9 Pro.

Yep, it was running Lineage 18.1 (Android 11).

Yep, bought outright. Here in the UK Three were offering both the headphones and wireless charger as pre-order incentives. Previous phone was the Pixel 5.

Within a week the OP9 Pro screen was defective and causing flashing (seems common issue on the forums) so Three offered to send a replacement. Courier also left the old one behind leaving me with 2 phones lol

 

[luckylui]

Upgraded from my OP7Pro

 

[TheKnux]

No, we all just like to loiter in the OnePlus 9 Pro forums and we all have iPhone 12 Pro Max's.

 

[GreaterLesser]

Got my OP9P from T-Mobile coming from my OP6T. My OP9P is already unlocked and rooted and I have no complaints with this phone so far.

 

[null0seven]

Like other users, i buy used, but like new. I wait for the price to drop. I saw one less than 750 $, but already taken.
I ordered the 50w wireless charger from China (56.99 $). For me is a must.
The 30w for OnePlus 8 Pro is Awesome, so 50w should be even better.
I already got the 65w wall charger and cables type-C to type-C.

 

[AwkwardUberHero]

Traded in my Pixel 4XL towards it. Loving my OP 9 Pro so far. I think there is a lot of bad hype about this phone.
