If a strong camera performance is important to you, the Samsung Galaxy S22+ has a better overall camera quality, with superior still photo and video quality. It also features a brighter display, which might be easier to see in sunlight, and has newer technology like Wireless DeX for productivity. However, the OnePlus 9 offers a slightly longer battery life, and some might prefer its alert slider. Both have similar storage and are Android devices with glass backs, but if budget is a considerable factor for you, the OnePlus 9 generally comes at a lower price. Give Feedback

TechRadar

David Lumb | April 2021
"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."

Daniel Bader | March 2022
"It has an incredible display, best-in-class performance, and some awesome value adds, like an improved main camera sensor over last year and some of the best haptics you can find in the Android ecosystem. This is one of the best Android phones you can buy and will only get better over its four years of promised platform updates."
