Review on 📱 OnePlus 9 Astral Black: Unlocked 5G Android Smartphone with 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage, 120Hz Fluid Display, Hasselblad Triple Camera, 65W Ultra Fast Charge, 15W Wireless Charge, and Alexa Built-in by Chad Blanchet

This phone is really good when you understand that it costs $729. which is locked at 120Hz - $729 Specs - Works on all carriers (5G only on Verizon/Visible and T-Mobile - same main sensor as 8 Pro) - Fast usage - Fingerprint sensor works well and is in a convenient position for my grip style - Reliable battery life (I can get through the day even on a 120Hz display) - Alert slider (I never knew I needed this until I used it) - Warp Charge 65T (freaking fast) Cons : - Nightscape (night mode) hit or miss (could be improved with a software update) - some photos look like the sun is slowly going down, but it's noon (could be improved with a software update) - press to Enable AOD, and double tap to wake up sensitive - fingerprint sensor is nowhere near instant unlock (requires phone missing a second or 2 to unlock) - no wifi call yet e at Verizon (coming via software update in May). according to rumours) - No C-band 5G on Verizon yet (although it will be later this year and I hope it's Verizon's mid-range 5G network) - No mmWave 5G (to be honest it's not a deal breaker, but I have access to Verizon's UWB in my area) - Alert slider is too hard (I have to use some force to toggle it to vibrate or mute) - No telephoto lens. This is a solid phone from OnePlus. I've been a long time Google Phone user (I've previously had an iPhone 4, Samsung S3, Samsung S4, Samsung S5, Moto X 2014, Nexus 5X and Google Pixel 2 XL) since 2014 when Motorola was owned by Google. The camera is good but defoe needs some software updates to make it even better. I like Oxygen OS because it's almost stock Android, so it's an easy transition from my Pixel. So if you still have a Pixel, Pixel 2 or Pixel 3 and don't want to afford your next phone, I would recommend this. Things to keep in mind: The Samsung S21 is consistently selling for around the price of this phone, and it can be difficult to sell if you're not using the software that OnePlus has to offer. Samsung offers a little more features and specs for this price. So it all depends on which software you prefer.
