Tech That! Gadget of the month: OnePlus 9 Pro – ✡✡✡✡
This device with four powerful cameras is the company’s best attempt to compete with the likes of Samsung, Google and Apple. Daniel Elias finds out its major pros and cons
The OnePlus 9 Pro has a great design, screen quality, and four cameras so you can take stunning images!
But does it match up to the likes of Apple, Samsung and Google?
Daniel Elias takes a look:
Plus points:
- Design is gorgeous. Oneplus has been making big strides with the look of their phones over the past few years.
- The screen quality is great and gets very bright in outdoor conditions
- Dual stereo speakers can reproduce loud and clear audio
- Phone performance feels fast, due to its fluid screen, processor and 12GB of memory. Even after months of use it shows no sign of slowing down
- OnePlus has been very frequent with software updates
- New Warp Charge 65 technology can recharge your phone in around half an hour!
- The phone has four cameras: a main, ultra-wide, a telephoto and monochrome lens. Overall, the picture quality is fantastic, probably the best on a OnePlus phone to date.
- OnePlus has partnered with the famous camera company Hasselblad to develop its camera system over the next three years. This year’s partnership only extends to how colours in photos are tuned.
Nil points:
- Battery performance is good but could be better. Luckily the phone can recharge quickly.
- Although stylish, the Morning Mist colour was very slippery in my hand, so I slapped a case on it.
- Monochrome lens has very little use. Getting rid of it could bring the price down.

RRP from £829
Verdict: ✡ ✡ ✡ ✡
The OnePlus 9 Pro is the company’s best attempt to compete with the likes of Samsung, Google and Apple. The gap is narrowing (especially when it comes to cameras) but there’s always room to be better.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
