We’ve spent some time testing the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 to see what they’re like as well as looking into details of the OnePlus 9R to see how they stack up against each other.

The OnePlus 9R also has a flat display. What that means in daily use is that while the 9 Pro is bigger than the regular OnePlus 9, it feels more comfortable to hold in one hand. Those curve add the illusion of slimness. The plastic frame also means the regular model feels a bit less premium. On the flip side, having a flatter display on the regular model means it’s a bit easier to use in some situations because you don’t need to worry about accidental touches while gaming or using the camera. All three come with a punch hole front camera positioned in the left corner of their displays, while a rectangular camera housing – like the OnePlus 8T and OnePlus Nord – are on the rear. Two lenses are larger on the rear camera for all three OnePlus 9 devices. Each with metal rings around them to give them a purposeful look. The standard OnePlus 9 has a triple rear camera, while the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9R have a quad rear camera, though with different lenses, as we talk about further down. OnePlus 9 Pro also features IP68 water and dust resistance. The other two models do not offer an official waterproofing rating. The OnePlus 9 Pro is the largest and heaviest of the three OnePlus 9 devices, measuring 163.2 x 73.6 x 8.7mm and weighing 197g, while the OnePlus 9 measures 160 x 74.2 x 8.7mm and weighs 192g. The OnePlus 9R is expected to be around the same size as the OnePlus 9, with the 9 possibly fractionally larger. The 9R weighs 189g though so it’s lighter.
