Had my 8pro for almost a year and it's as snappy as it was on day 1 still. Since going 5g I notice worse battery performance but it's still good. I have never used warp charge.

The 8 Pro is an absolute joy when it come to speed and smoothness. And it's one of the few phones that play nicely with Nova launcher and navigation gestures.

My 9 Pro drops today. Looking forward to it.

I received my OP9 Pro today bundled with both the Warp charger and Buds from Three. I haven't tried the phone yet though.

Got mine today too but Three didnt send my SIM with an addon like they should have so I cant have a proper play until I get home. Its such a tease.

Mine arrived today but not had chance to even take it out the box

@kona786, @Helios1234, @rhysduck - any news to report

The only news is that it's a keeper

enjoying it mate?

doodah · 1 Apr 2021 at 13:35

What's the jump like from the OP8 Pro?

First impressions over 8 Pro.

Screen is less curved and is now perfect for me. The Pine green finish in matte is also a beaut, really subtle and unique, no more mirror black. Not used the cam a whole lot yet but can tell pics are more detailed.

I loved the 8 Pro and this is a refined version with improved screen, cam, colourway and charging.

I was worried about the fingerprint placement being too low but in use its no issue. Aesthetically it would have looked better higher up as on the 8 Pro.

This has caught my eye. The curved screen puts me off the pro version, have you had many accidental touches since you've been using it?

I see your concerns. In a case none at all and when naked maybe the odd one here and there.

Would the OP 9 PRO be a decent upgrade over a Xaomi Mi10T Pro ?

Really digging the blue and green combo

Ignoring the scoring this dude gives, the OP9 Pro camera looks pretty shocking here. The paint / smear effect on the pixels is clear to my eye and its getting pummeled is pure balance and detail terms by the 808.

kona786 · 5 Apr 2021 at 10:30

I'm pleased with the camera performance.

And for reference, Pixel 3

How's the battery? A common theme in reviews is it can be drained before the end of the day (likely heavy use) and modest overall. Which is odd, as I remember the OP8/Pro doing well in reviews for battery performance.

The warp charging is great, but I am not sure if I would use it, especially as we start going back to the office.

kona786 · 5 Apr 2021 at 10:47

Yesterday: just over 5 hrs screen time with 25% remaining. Its good enough for my usage to get through a normal day.

And chargers are everywhere these days.

Edit.

The dynamic range on the UWA is just :cool:

AF.
