I think no company has won more of my comparisons than OnePlus. It's really not that difficult for any phone that defied the establishment so aggressively. It would almost be ridiculous for me to sit here and tell you to buy a Galaxy S9+ for nearly double the price of a OnePlus 6 for example. And sure, we’ve known that every Galaxy has had extra perks that each OnePlus didn't, but these were never worth double the price.
For the better part of a decade, recommending OnePlus to my friends and family has always been a no-brainer. They weren't the best phones, but they were too good for the price.. So I'm sure you can imagine why this comparison for me is so conflicting. What happens at the crossroads of this premise, when the price can no longer save you? It either means your product has grown up to truly compete against the big kids, or that you've lost a bit of touch with what the market wants.
On one corner we have the OnePlus 9 Pro, which the company calls your best Shot as part of a very bold marketing campaign. On the other we have the Galaxy S21+, what Samsung calls the Every Day Epic, and proof of part of this conflict. See, before I would've done this comparison against the Ultra or a Note, but given how these two phones are now priced nearly the same, let's just say I did my best to make this debate as fair as possible. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow, and let's see which phone is better, sponsored by Skillshare.

I'm still on the OnePlus 7 pro coming up to 2 years with the phone and no problems and software updates are Soo good and still able to get android 12

as a old OnePlus fan, OnePlus changed after changing their logo...
Oneplus has always been the oppo/vivo rebrands for the west.
Yes quite buggy
@@himanshuchamoli8269 I'm very confused I'm using a one plus 7 pro unlocked 256 gb on Android 11 with the latest security patch. The hardware is still top notch. The software for me has been consistent. Unfortunately, it depends on what version off the phone you have.
@@corneliussmith5875 I agree I think this Guy bases his views based on the best camera software When you can Cleary see the hardware and specs are better on the OnePlus 9 Pro!
@@lukemothug lol even on camera oneplus has best ultra wide but no one says it, while ppl doesn't care about it even if it is usually the first or second most used camera, they think that if main camera is better than every other sensor is as well
I bought my s10e 256gb for $450 in 2019 and traded it in this year for $550 off a s21. Literally made money 😂
Yep great deal. Did the same with my pixel 3a got $500 trade in value for a phone I paid $299 a few years ago. First samsung phone and love it.
Bout to do this now with my one plus 7T for the S21 +
Lets go champ
@@naschburger2 Where did you trade it in?
Same with my step brothers S9 plus, he only paid $20 for the s21+ after T-Mobiles trade in special 😂
I'd pick the Galaxy. More consistent in every way like with camera, performance, and software
Was in the same conundrum a month ago. Decided on the galaxy s21+ I have no regrets.
No ragrets
@Doug Sawyer the note 20u has a better camera
@Doug Sawyer actually I'd prefer the s21+. The performance is much better. It did reduce the display but in the S20 series most of the people choose to have higher frames anyway.
🤘💯
Wanted to like the S21 but it got downgraded too much that I returned it. Seriously, why did they removed QHD and the SD card slot.
I have no problem with OnePlus pricing the phone as flagship. I am livid at the fact that they treat their 2 year old flagship like burden when it comes to updates.
Me too
True
@Shah Darshan Precisely... If Oneplus' philosophy and software is no different from Samsung, why would someone buy a Oneplus phone ?
@Shah Darshan Not just that, they software brick their old phones as a way to push people to upgrade. For instance, the GPS on my s9+ no longer work after the latest update, and ever since a few updates ago, it became so laggy and slow in daily tasks that I need to upgrade now.
Especially when one of their main selling points was their close Google support and updates
Well, it used to be at least
The day Samsung got on that stage and announced 3 years support for flagships...it was the tolling bell for One Plus
-you missed one thing Samsung is promising 4 years of security updates and 3 years of android updates exactly when the brand like oneplus which was knows for software updates is struggling with updates for their 2 year old phone and no update policy commitment from oneplus yet
-and Samsung have there name in public one plus is still unknown for people
-4 years update +brand name you can sell your 2 year Samsung phone for better price than oneplus on second hand market
I have a 6t and I still get updates. So.....
@@ryankelley8774 the Galaxy s9 still get update
Don't know about the US, but in my country OnePlus holds it's price much better on the second hand market than Samsung
one plus seems to be on decline with product dilution, higher price...seems the direction of the company has turned 180 degree
Yet their sales have really gone up particularly this year lol
@@alsodrakeized6220 People see what they want to see to push their agenda. 😂
@@alsodrakeized6220 The case is Samsung sells there phones in India with exynos at almost 40k higher price tag than 9pro and on the other hand iPhones are priced twice as compared to the international market ,so when evluate the price difference with a Qualcomm chipset it's actually better to go with 9 pro , that's why the sales growth is this much ,that's nothing official tough it's just my opinion.
@@salilsarkar9912 I don't like Samsung UI anyways and also feel like OnePlus is extremely under rated especially since their focus turned from being value champs to true flagship.
It doesn't really matter as long as OnePlus offers
@Doug Sawyer Personal opinions. I Don't like 1UI
Love from India 🇮🇳 buddy
Oneplus is a shadow of its former self. And I'm saying that as someone who is using a oneplus 7t right now
OnePlus 7T user here. I'm switching back to Sammy in a few days
Oneplus 5
Same I've got a one plus 6 I've been really happy and now I wanna upgrade and can't decide between 9 pro and s21. I loved the one plus but I've seen a lot of overheating problems with the 9 series
@@tygariont7594 Sooooo I just got the Sammy S21 + after trading in my One Plus 7T. There are a few things that I miss.
The fast charging without a doubt, so much quicker.
The organization with the contacts and apps drawer was better in my opinion.
I do miss the dedicated silent and vibrate button but that's no biggie.
But then in order to take screenshots you gotta press the Bixby button and the lower volume rocker which is dumb as hell, however I think you can reprogram that.
That's my two cents so far
@@Evolve816 charging has been my main issue as well but overall are you satisfied with S21? Do you like it or not worth shifting to a Samsung? I used the note 4 before and had a bad time with it so a bit skeptical to shift to them again
Agreed. The S21+ is just a way better smartphone and also they are doing great with updates too (depends on the region). 4 years of updates (3 Major Android updates + 1 year of security updates vs just 3 years of updates). Plus, the security is just superior in the Samsung as well.
In India, security patch updates are way faster.. sometimes before the month. 😂😂 Moreover.. the case is same for older flagships too. And once you use Samsung one ui it's so feature riched and simple at same time , you can't go out of it.
Of what security are you talking about? Does it come with a taser or what?
@@sidhantkumarsahu7262 Ikr. I have the Pixel 4a and I am really missing so many essential features from One UI. I recently bought a S20 FE 5G. Unfortunately, the screen has really bad green tint issue with banding and uneven uniformity. I have asked for a replacement.. let's see.
Huge difference with Juan Baggnel conclusions!
Is Juan like the Robin Hood of tech reviewers ..haha.. I so missed his rievews
I mean you didn't even talk about the sound quality from speakers or heating issues and how Oneplus has been butchering updates.
Ooof
The heating issues don't relate to the Op9 Pro but to the Sd888 chipset itself the overheating with phone brands using the 888 is not limited to One Plus!
How did I know the win would go to Samsung... Again? That seems to be the safe bet with these comparisons. I'm enjoying my OnePlus 9 Pro, though. Never going back to Samsung.
Some people just like substandard...what can be said?
Bye!!!
@@lbeetech the 9 Pro isn't substandard. The main thing Jaime noted that was below the S21+ was the camera. As I'm not an avid phone photographer, this doesn't bother me. I take pics at times and they look good to me. That's all I need. Plus... The charger is included in the box. 🤷🏿♂️
@@DeafTourette It isn't on par for the same price, that is substandard... It was never on par but the price always saved it... The build is of lesser materials, the internals and camera hardware is lesser...but the price is the same...
@@lbeetech my point is... It satisfies my needs. The should always be choice. I chose the 9 Pro. It's great for what I need. Just hate how most comparison videos always choose Samsung and the reviewer always said they can't recommend the other phone at all, even after they noted the positives over Samsung. It's all personal choice at the end of the day
Great comparison as always Jaime!
Once I see the 525 pixel density and clarity in the Find X3 Pro and OnePlus 9 Pro I can't go back to lesser screens. Samsung dropped the ball with that and the charger fiasco.
How's that working out for you
Lol what a joker. You do realize that Oppo and Oneplus are both using Samsung displays right? And Samsung Galaxy displays are still far better than the Oppo and Oneplus Samsung displays. Samsung is the most refined and best overall android brand. They have it all and that is why they have the brand recognition. That is a fact.
the problem is, outside US most S21's are not running on snapdragon so the pricing doesn't make sense compared to OP9 Pro.
The latest exynos 2100 is edge to edge in most of the aspects
One ui over oxygen for me
Ergonomics and many usefull features over simplicity.
Yep my thoughts exactly
Oh, how the mighty have fallen
The comparison i was waiting for
You should try the OnePlus 9 pro now days, the updates have improved the cameras a lot
Is how when he was speaking about about low light photos the OnePlus image showed more detail in the building shadows 😭. Still one of fav reviewers
It's strange that my favorite feature is the alert slider. Such a simple low cost feature but only OnePlus has it on the Android side. Maybe I switched from an iPhone.
I agree with you; Samsung is the better all-arounder although I prefer OxygenOS.
Pls use one ui 3.1... I bet your opinions will change.. I understand oxygen os feels snappier, and actually evident heavily when you swipe for the Google feed page. But one ui is so visually appealing and feature riched. There are minute things in software which Samsung addresses to make user experience best.
@@sidhantkumarsahu7262 I used both and oxygen is way better and cleaner
@@sidhantkumarsahu7262 I have to agree with you on this. And one UI's experience is much better on the flagships. I have used an A51 and currently using an S21 with the latest firmware and I can proudly say that one UI 3.1 is awesome.
@@nivlach6291 what u mean way better ,it's not
@@nivlach6291 Don't be a blind fanboy. I've been using OxygenOS since the OP3, but I like One UI 3.1 more. It's subjective but Samsung's Ui is more feature rich and eyepleasing.
The s21+ has been $800 sense launch and because of Samsung's *incredible* trade in program you will probably be able to trade it in next year for $700 there is just no competition when it comes to the value of Samsung
Literally got 800 dollars off my s21 plus when i traded in my lg v60 which i bought for 650 on tmo...samsung's deals are awesome!
Where do you get that?? Not in my country (The Netherlands) I'm afraid
I love my one plus 9 pro..and it satisfies my needs I love the look I love the feel.. perfect picture quality but to each his own go with what you like but as for me and mines we stick with our OnePlus
Whatever you say man
But trust me OnePlus is still the king of androids no matter what these useless.people and 2/3k subscribed CZcamsrs come across...I swirled through the internet and yes no one one can beat the OnePlus 9 pro it's look design premiumess cameras and software in that price tag
Which phone will run for 3-4 years from both of them??
@@rakeshgain4459 Which phone will run for 3-4 years from both of them??
The OnePlus 9 pro needs just one more thing over the S21+ to win my money. Be it an SD card slot, or a better selfie camera, or a non glossy back with more color options, or better yet A CHEAPER PRICE. Then I'd definitely buy the 9 pro. Right now, I'm waiting for each company to do better (9T pro, or S21 FE).
How can you put music on your onePlus Pro 9 from your laptop or your computer. ???
Thank you for the review, Jaime. I have been looking for a replacement for my LG G7 thinq. I have owned a Galaxy S phone before. I have never owned a One Plus phone. Both phones are currently on sale for $799.99 for Black Friday.
I am leaning towards the One Plus 9 Pro given the extra RAM (12 GB vs 8GB), faster wired/wireless charging speed, and higher dpi (525 vs 394).
However, I am in no rush to pull the trigger. Going to wait and see whether there are better deals around Christmas. Was hoping to spend not more than $500. I looked at the Pixel 6 and Pixel Pro - A little disappointed by some of the specs and pricing of the 6 Pro.
I miss the old OnePlus. Owned the 6 and just loved it! Even the more expensive 7 Pro was excellent value. Now I would easily choose Samsung, iPhone, or Google's Pixel over them.
Because it just doesn't make sense to pick a one plus at almost thesame price as an iphone or a galaxy.
@@oluwaseyiodusanya2079 Exaclty! The cameras/other features just aren’t as good!
@@cadenchurchill4296 yep, 1+ should have been the killer instead of being a flagship member, unless they improve
@@baoquoc3710 Very much agreed!
Feelsbadman. I'm changing my 6 right now to the Galaxy S21+
I have the exact same s21+ as seen in this video RN. I'm going with the s21 plus, because of its multi-window features if you apply some of them from the app settings on Good Luck.
Just for slightly better camera, i choose more usable faster wired/wireless charging, less bloatware and always faster during the time, from Oneplus.
Nice video 👍🏽 im waiting for new phones to come this year..need an upgrade from my one plus 5t
I like that you made a conclusion, most reviewers will just say "if you think blah blah then choose A, if blah blah then choose B". They are afraid to be bashed for their choice.
Tbh I will pick the S21+ over the 9 Pro too . I like oxygen OS but man ... Recently it's a mess . So many software bugs . And having only 2 years support on a 800$+ phone is pahetic . I can buy an iPhone which will be supported for 5 or even more years for the same amount of money . (that's why I am using an iPhone) . Not to mention the camera . If I will be spending 800 or 900$ or more , I want the cameras to be top notch . Doesn't matter if I make only 200-300 photos per year or more . They really really need to step up their game in the camera department . If not , they can only put brand logos on the phone and that's it . Nobody buys a phone because of the branding ads and etc . People aren't that stupid !
I remember the days everyone told u you talked to fast haha. Always awesome reviews 👌
As long as Oneplus cameras suck... They got no chance with real flagships. Specially at the same price.
Not the best camera but also not the worst so what's your point? Overall everything else about the Op9 Pro is better then the S21+
@@lukemothug my point? for the same price, I'll rather pay for a Samsung phone than a OP.
@@JoseCalderon04 QHD 120hz Display on the Op9 Pro Vs HD+ 120hz Display on the S21+ Go Figure!
@@lukemothug Same answer here
@@lukemothug oneplus has best ultra wide but no one says it, ppl are blind or what? I saw even a video where the iphone 12 blurred all the sky while oneplus add perfect hdr and the reviewer said iphone has way better hdr lol
Do you know if oneplus 9 phones are still have over heating issues or if these got resolved?
One Plus made a great set of phones. A great video as always. Stay safe.
The very thing that had propelled OnePlus for years has dug the graveyard for it today.. I.e. Price-to-Performance ratio !!
*The Galaxy can also do fhd 120 in pro mode btw edit: also UWB
1080p.
I like the flatter wider display on the Samsung.
I got the S21 Plus. I think people put wayyyy too much emphasis on camera but for me it has served well without any "ultra". Wireless dex has been incredible for me also. Very reliable.
I think reviewers have focused way too much on cameras and we've lost great features from phones because of it
What about quad HD display vs FHD on the S21 Plus?
Was that covered or did I miss it?
Yeah the older s10 plus had higher ratio display
Waiting for the Pixel 6 Pro
what is name of the theme song at the beginning of the video please 👀
Here in Europe the s21 plus costs at least 100€ more than the Op9Pro so things start to get very interesting. I've owned an S8 for a long time and was happy with it but so I am with the 9Pro now.
Great video. I agree with every word you say. 💪
Can you do a Zenfone 8 vs OnePlus 9 vs S21?
Hi how is the fingerprint reader on the Samsung more secure than the oneplus surely all fingerprint readers are as secure as each other
After using Samsung for years,I decide to go give a chance for a company who tries to do a great job, Samsung/apple you paying names then product,I decide OnePlus 9 Pro and sooooo happy 1+9pro is an amazing phone
This is why I left OnePlus for an Apple iPhone. Carl Pei left the company and they become a joke. I am very satisfied now with my iPhone 12.
After 7 years of Samsung Galaxy S series I upgraded to a OnePlus 9 this year. It was worth it.
Same had 6 years of Samsung, and oneplus is just way smoother and since i game it gives me like 200-300% more perfomance over my s10
Haha finally the comparison we been waiting 4
It's weird how annoying the 3 way mute slider from oneplus is after coming from a p20 pro... Google assistant cannot set your call profile when it's manual -.-
One Plus has been bashed for this arrogant and deceiving move in almost every review I have seen so far... its a wake up call for them to walk the talk... don't make your loyal fans angry... if they kept you on their head they very well know how to kick your back as well ... Wake up OnePus!
I think I’m going to go with S21. I’m upgrading in the fall hopefully during Black Friday I can get S21+ or Ultra for decent price.
It's already $300 of on Amazon today
Love the Huawei acknowledgment
9 pro or s21fe 5g second hand for 40k which one should i buy?
Im getting the S21 plus definitely
Link to your desktop wallpaper please.
Great comparison👍
Loved the video Jaime. Thank you. I would pick the S21 Plus as well. It’s like you said “What’s wrong OnePlus?”
LG v30 is going strong 100 plus am loving it lol
@Doug Sawyer is it grandpa
I've had the OnePlus 7T Pro and got the S21 +. I do wish I'd have bought the S21 Ultra however instead. I do miss the curved display.
i have s20 fe snapdragon,should i upgrade to s21 plus?
NAH NAH NAH you do not offend the 3 way mute slider. It is so nice and high quality I use it daily. best feature
Just got the OnePlus Pro 9 after dire service from Samsung one month into owning a Ultra Note 20. I'll never go Samsung again but so far, got to say, the OnePlus is an absolute pleasure to use; especially turning on the hidden features.
I had the opposite experience my Oneplus 9 was plagued with issues I sold it and bought s21+ couldn't be happier
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS Fingers crossed it stays that way for you :) I've no regrets my end :)
@@PurgatoryPictures 🤞🏾👍🏾
OnePlus1 ,2, OnePlus 3, 5T, 6 and 7T were the only phones that i really liked from OnePlus, but now i'd choose Samsung, OneUi, much better Camera, any day everyday. Even though I have been a Samsung fan for more than a decade, I really liked OnePlus devices mentioned above, but now i don't think i'd recommend them to anyone
Same here.
if they want to put premium price tag, then treat the customer as premium as the price.... give monthly stable updates, fix the bug fast, improve the software, camera, power draw etc.... you think it's okay to slap premium price tag and treat us customers with shitty updates? well good luck then...
One plus 7 pro unlocked 256gb almond for 400. I'm happy I waited for the price to drop.
That's actually a good buy
haven’t seen anyone do coverage on S21+ forgot it even existed
I think i had go for 1+ 9 pro for gaming and super fast charging. Gaming just isn't the same on the Samsung.
right now i only care about why the haptics on the oneplus 9 pro are so extremely bad...
i recently ordered one and right away i noticed that the phone felt very hollow and cheap because of the haptics while on both my oneplus 7 pro and oneplus nord it feels very good and solid.
i sent it back to receive another unity but also this one had the same issue... i'm so sad about this because i REALLY WANT a 9 pro !
can you please tell me if this is normal or is it probably a whole batch with just an issue ?
The oneplus 9 pro right now is 729.99 and after few updates cameras improve base on what I read, will you recommend this phone over a Galaxy S22 the regular one that cost 800?
If you want a great Camera. Buy a professional camera. A camera on a phone should not be the deciding factor whether the phone is great or not great.
Bruh, a pro camera + gears will leave your wallet in burden real quick. Cameras on flagships are now good enough for almost any circumstances
The winner is obvious here, i would like to get the Snapdragon version of the S21+ which is not available in my country.
Exactly the comparison what I wanted to see!! :D In my case, I prefer S21 because of the more reliable camera and security provided by Samsung KNOX
BUT I would appreciate the comeback of at least slightly curved display , it looks so much better designwise than flat screen, as well as causes not so much misstouches. Just that "infinity display" look was from S8 to S20 so awesome!
The flat displays look great to be very honest. And just feels more practical.
I have the S21+ however I do miss the curved display. It makes the bezels seem thicker not having it.
Problem with new phones is that, you don't know which phone you are showing in comparison if you don't mention.
The gentleman you took the picture with really looks like you. Is he your son?
Great video comparing watching with Samsung Galaxy S21 plus
Galaxy s21+ should be the winner undoubtedly 👍
P.s. commenting from my s21+😉
1:41 Wait What ???
Always waiting for the best review and comparison from Jaime, Salute!
Most of the oneplus has display tint issue
Very sad to see that day when OnePlus can't get any love from reviewers, but that's because they are in a transition state, trying to match up with the Flagships. I'm a OnePlus fan, but could not warrant the price of the 9 or 9 pro; instead opting to buy the OnePlus 8 in 2021, since the price compared to the Samsung S20 was really affordable comparing both companies previous offerings.
Planning to get buy the Oneplus 9 Pro by December. Do you still have the same opinion even after the updates for the 9 Pro?
I definitely think the s21 plus is better than the oneplus 9 pro. One small problem that I have is with the 1080p display. I wished it was at 1440p which would make the plus model an even more attractive phone
I absolutely love one ui. It's so ergonomic.
Nothing much oxygen os far far better
i'm currently using A52s for quite sometime now. Last year i really wanted to buy Oneplus 9 Pro but i don't like the curved screen because it's hard to find a good tempered glass or screen protector for it. Now i ordered S21+ phantom black of course @51% off w/ free Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. I'm glad i didn't paid full price last year.
Here in Denmark the 21+ is 8-900dkr cheaper than the 9 Pro, 61xxdkr vs 6999dkr. ..and the Ultra, i just saw, has come down to 81xxdkr. I'm starting to get annoyed with me buying a 9 Pro tbh. I hope they make good on the money we've spent, by software updating the cameras so that we can get the performance we've paid for.
I am in the market for another phone but I had the same thought with this guy was saying about the Galaxy 21 plus versus one pluses big boy one which they have dropped the ball on a little bit so I'm still thinking about it but see what happens have to play with the phones first before I make a decision.
I am still rocking my OnePlus 6 since July 2018, (started to show its age) and none of the newer OnePlus devices ever convinced me to upgrade (except the 7 Pro).
Thinking of a Pixels 4a, why ?
All the phones are giant slabs and I think the 700 snapdragon chips are close to the 835 chip that I have and best of all .. A headphone jack !
You could go for a ZenFone 8 too, it's the best compact phone
Samsung s21 plus because of it's price in india after hdfc cashback and referral advantage it cost 66000 and comes with free watch active 2 or buds active
worthy for its price .how is your experience with it ?

Hello what buy op 9 pro vs s20 ultra extnos?
Compraste el op9
Oh, what a novel idea for the 1+9 - Having a camera array much like the larger version the astronauts took to the Moon with them some 50 years ago... THAT, along with IP68, wireless charging, their proprietary rapid recharge block, and a somewhat improved OLED screen, merits almost $1000? If I want a slightly cheaper phone, I might as well look into last year's or two year-old Samsung Flagships!
Samsung has so many extras even above and beyond the camera, that unless you really love Oxygen OS, and don’t value OneUI’s ease of use, this is a no-brainer now that the pricing is so close. I’d pick the Samsung.
One UI is actually pretty intuitive in its class. At first I hated it, now I am loving it more than Oxygen OS.
ebay uk u can get a working galaxy fold 1 for a lot less than both :)
