The Google Pixel 7 Pro, although more expensive, provides a larger, higher-resolution screen and potentially superior photography capabilities with more advanced camera features, which may appeal to photography enthusiasts. In contrast, the OnePlus 9 is more budget-friendly and includes a high-performance fast charger in the box, which might be more attractive if you're looking for value and don't require the latest camera technology. Both phones have similar battery capacities, but the Pixel's larger battery may offer slightly longer battery life. If operating system updates and exclusive features like call screening are important to you, the Pixel could be worth the extra expense. Give Feedback

"The Pixel 7 Pro is good! The software is clean and quickly updated. The camera takes great pictures. The performance is a buttery smooth 120 fps. Those are all the reasons to buy it over anything else, especially its Android competition, where it sweeps every one of those categories."

"If you’re hunting for the best Android camera phone at this price, and one that doesn’t skimp on specs the OnePlus 9 is worth considering. Courtesy of a partnership with Hasselblad, the cameras offer better color correction, and both regular and ultra-wide photos look great. The OnePlus 9’s battery fully charges in under 30 minutes over a cable, and in 45 minutes using wireless charging. If you hate waiting for hours to charge your phone, you'll love the OnePlus 9."

About Google
Google can be considered a relatively new player in the smartphone industry, joining as late as 2016 with their phone, the Google Pixel. Since then, the Pixel lineup has undergone many changes, but it has always been characterized by a focus on photography and clean software, by providing a pure Android experience. By virtue of Google being the creator of the Android operating system, Pixels are known for receiving timely software updates and for being supported with updates for a long time. Additionally, over the past few generations of devices, Google started designing their own processors. This allowed for the implementation of unique software features that are not present in any other phone, such as automatic call screening and unique voice transcribing capabilities.
About OnePlus
OnePlus, established in 2013, is a smartphone brand that first became known for providing flagship-like devices, at a fraction of the cost compared to more expensive Android competitors. OnePlus focuses on creating smartphones with powerful hardware at reasonable prices. They also bring hardware features normally not seen in other Android phones sold in the US, such as their ultra-fast “Warp Charge” and the beloved “Alert Slider”.
