Both phones are currently on sale for $799.99 for Black Friday. I am leaning towards the One Plus 9 Pro given the extra RAM (12 GB vs 8GB), faster wired/wireless charging speed, and higher dpi (525 vs 394). However, I am in no rush to pull the trigger. Going to wait and see whether there are better deals around Christmas. Was hoping to spend not more than $500.

And as I said trucker.. so I really use phone 24/7 Gps + music or audio books+ whatever I need online.. Nobody here uses phone as much as truckers.. and when you are stopped KZbin or Netflix ... So maybe Samsung s are just not made for that much use.. but have better reception? What can any of tell me about this issues.. I am about to replace my phone and I can't decide.. Reception is very important.. but then again when trucker looses device itself .. screen going out.. that's absolute disaster.. no gps .. no email can't see who's calling .. don't even know where the hell is TMobile store in the state where you happen to be ..to by new one..

[@colognepapi]

i'm currently using A52s for quite sometime now. Last year i really wanted to buy Oneplus 9 Pro but i don't like the curved screen because it's hard to find a good tempered glass or screen protector for it. Now i ordered S21+ phantom black of course @51% off w/ free Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. I'm glad i didn't paid full price last year.

[@beautyneytiri]

right now i only care about why the haptics on the oneplus 9 pro are so extremely bad... i recently ordered one and right away i noticed that the phone felt very hollow and cheap because of the haptics while on both my oneplus 7 pro and oneplus nord it feels very good and solid. i sent it back to receive another unity but also this one had the same issue... i'm so sad about this because i REALLY WANT a 9 pro ! can you please tell me if this is normal or is it probably a whole batch with just an issue ?

[@amishkapadia3760]

Galaxy s21+ should be the winner undoubtedly 👍 P.s. commenting from my s21+😉

[@jayparker393]

After 7 years of Samsung Galaxy S series I upgraded to a OnePlus 9 this year. It was worth it.

[@lore3334]

Same had 6 years of Samsung, and oneplus is just way smoother and since i game it gives me like 200-300% more perfomance over my s10

[@Zeb-nh6hj]

NAH NAH NAH you do not offend the 3 way mute slider. It is so nice and high quality I use it daily. best feature

[@soorajsaikumar]

Nice video 👍🏽 im waiting for new phones to come this year..need an upgrade from my one plus 5t

[@surdam3695]

test the HDR VIDEO man.. when you inside your home.. and the bright came from your window.. NO CAN handle that problem instead of iphone 12 with dolby vision.. that i want to know.. can one plus 9 handle the bright / light come from the window??? usually.. the regular phone difficult to handle that situation.. the regular phone will lose the backlight from the window.. how about the one plus 9?? thank you

If you want a great Camera. Buy a professional camera. A camera on a phone should not be the deciding factor whether the phone is great or not great.

[@baoquoc3710]

Bruh, a pro camera + gears will leave your wallet in burden real quick. Cameras on flagships are now good enough for almost any circumstances

[@karanbirsinghjohar8093]

There is still approx a 150$ difference in price for the top spec versions in India. I understand that OnePlus may have deviated from being a value for money flagship killer to a contender with the bigger boys but it still offers great bang for the buck considering the price difference in my country .

[@DevendraKumar-bq3zf]

Still S20 FE has greater camera capabilities than pro if we ignore the heating issue🤣🤣🤣

[@pjppppplll]

Only two 5g ban bro it iss not enough for flagship... 😥 oneplus is downgrading Indian market. Wanted to upgrade but it hold me back...

[@peterscrace3530]

I have gone back to Samsung this year as they have really lifted their game with the A52 5G and S21 Ultra. My previous phones for the past 5 years have all been OnePlus, sadly they are no longer the great company they once were, software is nowhere near as good as it once was, updates are slow now relative to the past especially security updates, buggy software etc.

[@pietro4836]

Vero

[@paulswift36]

But the 9 pro has a qhd+ display Vs 1080p, that's quite a difference so shouldn't this be just the normal 9 for a better spec comparison? The 9 is a lot cheaper too

[@ElMenorLatino]

I think i had go for 1+ 9 pro for gaming and super fast charging. Gaming just isn't the same on the Samsung.

[@SachinKalbag0611]

In India, the largest OnePlus market, the price difference is still quite stark. The maxed out 9Pro is Rs 70,000 (around $950, as per the dollar rate on June 4, 2021), while the similar-spec S21 Ultra (12GB/256GB) is priced at Rs 106,000, or $1451.

[@GETPHUCKED57]

LG v30 is going strong 100 plus am loving it lol

[@GETPHUCKED57]

@Doug Sawyer is it grandpa

[@catvisimo]

OnePlus had the edge at one point with the lower price, now OnePlus just fail massively at the same flagship price as the big boys, sucks to see OnePlus losing their touch

[@JuanCAraujoS]

I'm more into smaller phones nowadays. So I'd pick a regular Galaxy S21 upgrading it's internals to 256 GB of storage, getting some extra accessories, even an Anker charger and have some cash to spare.

[@abhaybarik1280]

Is buying Samsung note 10 plus in 2021 Q3 is bad idea?i just want to play some games and watch movies in a big screen.

[@grandparamsayy5068]

I definitely think the s21 plus is better than the oneplus 9 pro. One small problem that I have is with the 1080p display. I wished it was at 1440p which would make the plus model an even more attractive phone

[@arkantochiron]

For the Indian market, it still makes sense as the prices of OnePlus devices here are still much lower than Galaxies and iPhones. But am not sure what prompted OnePlus to enter the US market at the same price points as the more established and well-liked brands. They should have focused on capturing some market share with value flagships for a few years at least.

[@andyH_England]

I think that with the Huawei ban if they try and be aggressive with pricing the Samsung lobbyists will mark them down as another China problem and risk getting banned. So, OP has decided to enter but not draw attention. Xiaomi and OPPO are less inclined to take a chance, already Xiaomi has faced being banned and it is clear the US smartphone market is very restricted and thus anti-competitive.

[@TrevorHicken]

I'd rather support OnePlus over Samsung. I love the OnePlus 9 Pro so far, I've had it since day 1. Only complaint I have is my battery life isn't as good as I had it in the OnePlus 8 Pro, but the speed and stability is top notch.

[@sanyamchhabra4943]

Can we also dwell on the fact how bad oneplus has gone with its update cycles and be vocal about it so it knocks some sense into them.

[@TheTranfan]

I got the S21+ it was laggy, i sold it and got a 9 pro, where i live the Samsung has the exynos chip. The 9 pro is Much better and smoother as the S21+

[@THE202]

Y'all speaking as if the gap between the Snapdragon and Exynos version is at all noticeable on daily usage lol.

@@TheTranfan this review seems biased, the s21+ is worse in every aspect even on camera, this is the first time hearing s21+ has better camera, yes s21u probably has better tele and main but not s21+

[@vidpetrovic8907]

I would buy a samsung, because software is better, and it is a samsung, just the ecosistem and everything, but the OP is not bad at all... I like oxygen os, but software uppdates are and buggs are a big problem...

[@sharkyclear]

If only I can install GMS apps, without doing dangerous work rounds, I would still get a Huawei. Yeah, the Kirin series may not be top-tier performance, but it has great battery management, great image AI, and more than good enough performance. Though I'm satisfied with my Mi11, I'm still hoping that I can go back to Huawei.

[@andyH_England]

I agree, I was all-in on Huawei before the US banned it. The battery management is at another level and streets ahead of Samsung. Huawei moving all phones over to HarmonyOS starting in June so interesting to see how that works on my Mate 20X 5G. I am not entrenched in Google Services, my work phone is an iPhone so not having Google will not be a hardship if HarmonyOS is as good as they say?

[@sharkyclear]

@@andyH_England I watch a lot of YT videos during my free time, and YT app is convinient. It's not actually work for me. I'm stuck with Google for entertainment. Also gaming, my game profiles are with Google and Apple right now. I do hope that HarmonyOS will mature fast and be successful. It's not like I don't love my new Mi11 and MiUI. I just really prefer Huawei's approach to smartphones.

[@andyH_England]

@@sharkyclear Yes, def not great for what you do. The My 11 is also very good so not a bad hardware second choice!

One+ 9 Pro. They just don't pay you or sponsor you and you talk the crap you do. I take night photos and videos all the time. VASTLY superior to Samsung and IPhone. Have you tried its pro mode? Ninja please!!!
