OnePlus – 9 5G 128GB (Unlocked) – Astral Black

If camera quality is important to you – avoid this phone. I trusted the reviews and end up with the worst camera in 10 years. Now it is too late to return, I thought I did something wrong, couldn’t believe that a camera can be so bad. You won’t be taking any selfies with this phone, no nice crisp back camera photos either. And the group photos are the worst! It is like having a flip phone quality. Can’t compare to Samsung, nor to huawei mate and definitely not to xiaomi. I am so disgusted with this phone’s camera that I want to let others know. It is an absolute disgrace to advertise this phone as a flagship! To bad I can’t upload photos of the same taken with xiaomi so you can see the difference.

This is both an impressive and underwhelming phone. If you’re looking for a phone with a good camera, stop reading here and go buy something else. This phone has a TERRIBLE camera. No optical image stabilization (keeps the camera from shaking if you’re moving a lot) at this price is absolutely ridiculous, especially since the camera is one of the big marketing features of this phone. Not to mention the image processing is just garbage here. You’d be better off getting something like the Pixel 4a 5G if you’re interested in camera performance.
As far as the rest of the phone, it’s RIDICULOUSLY fast. Seriously, you won’t notice any stutters or slowdowns whatsoever and it’s a great phone for gaming. The speakers are crazy good too when you’re watching videos. The screen is bright and beautiful and the phone has a ton of custumisation options to make it look and feel just the way you want it to.
One thing I wish it would have is a better build quality. The back is made of glass but it feels like cheap plastic. Not only that, but the sides of the phone ARE made of plastic and the mute/vibrate switch on the side is very loose. It just doesn’t feel like a $730 phone. If it was $500 or even $600 I could excuse these shortcomings, but not at this price. Phones like the Black Shark 4 that are just as powerful have full aluminum bodies which feel much better in the hand and are almost $250 less.
Overall, it’s a decent phone, but I would wait for it to come down to around the $600 mark, as I think that’s the sweet spot for this one.

Speed, camera, perfect size not too big not too small just straight, also affordable.
