Hasselblad Camera Co-Engineering, 50W Wireless Warp, and QHD+ LTPO Canvas

The OnePlus 9 Pro was OnePlus's first uncompromising ultra-flagship. Offering a 10-bit QHD+ 120Hz LTPO display with variable refresh rate scaling, rapid 50W wireless charging, and iconic Hasselblad natural color tuning, it challenged the smartphone elite.

Key Strengths

  • Incredible 50MP Sony IMX766 freeform lens virtually eliminates edge distortion in ultrawide shots
  • Hasselblad Natural Color Calibration produces true-to-life tones and skin shades
  • Super-fast 50W wireless charging replenishes 1% to 100% in 43 minutes
  • Fluid2 LTPO AMOLED display with sharp 1440p QHD+ resolution and 1-120Hz scaling
  • Physical 3-stage Alert Slider switch for instant silent/vibrate/ring toggling

Points to Consider

  • Snapdragon 888 chip experiences thermal throttling under extended benchmark stress
  • 8MP telephoto camera captures softer details than the primary 48MP IMX789 sensor
  • Battery life on QHD+ at 120Hz is merely average

Wired Charging65WTier avg: 45W
Recommended For:•Ultrawide photography enthusiasts wanting distortion-free architectural images•Users who rely on rapid 50W wireless charging desks and docks•Longtime OnePlus loyalists wanting the physical alert slider and QHD+ screen
