Oneplus 9 has a garbage screen. I got one and my oneplus 6 screen is way better. Way more accurate and better contrast. Green and pink tints. Also 9 feels like a brick, its fat and heavy. I was so hyped for the 9 but im v disappointed. May try Samsung this year.
A very biased review with s21 being in Power saving mode sometimes...also s21's display is far superior as brightness, hdr is better in Samsung...also op9's camera are not at all flagship level but a higher mid end phone....
I even put captions on so I could understand this you said it feel like you're getting more battery from the OnePlus this year the Samsung this year ....which one is it?
💥💥 If you Don't like Samsung software why don't you just get a pixel let Samsung be Samsung people like One UI and Features of Samsung. Also if you don't want to use one ui just download Nova launcher. Nova launcher or some other launchers then launchers like Nova launcher sre better version of oneplus's oxygen os launcher and pixels stock launcher. I don't get the constant complaining about Samsung UI. You as people uses to do this with LG and when I uses to get an LG phone in the past if I didn't like the UI I would just download Nova launcher or some other launcher that had a bunch of features and that are smooth. A lot of y'all reviewers complain too much. 🤦🏿
Why does the s21 show 4 icons across the screen while the oneplus 9 shows 5? Is this merely a difference in the "settings" or have something to do with the nature of the screen?
Glass backs and rolled edge front glass are silly. I use my phone. It falls. It gets tossed onto the counter. It gets sat on. I buy flagship.. Because they dont have the problems of the budget ones. But unf they have the above and are loosing features like headphone jack and sd cards. I still use both.
