From the rear camera technology to the processor, we figured out every single component from the rumours. Read further to get all the juicy details about the new series.

As the leading brand, OnePlus, is yet to launch its next-gen OnePlus 9 smartphone, we’ve been getting constant teases from the brand for a while with the promise of advanced camera upgrades. 

With their recent updates, we know it’s set to launch the last week of March. But, if you possess the previous-gen OnePlus 8, a definite question that hits your mind often is, “Will the OnePlus 9 offer enough over the OnePlus 8 worth an upgrade?”, “Why stick with the OnePlus 8?” and if you do plan to buy the OnePlus 8, “Should I wait for OnePlus 9?”

We can clear these confusions with a bold comparison between both these top-notch devices. This article will have a detailed account of parallels between the OnePlus 8 Vs. OnePlus 9.

Dimensions

Dimensions are more important for a phone because it decides if it is comfortable to carry around with your hands. The length of the OnePlus 8 is 6.31″, whereas the OnePlus 9 has a slightly bigger build with 6.33″. The previous version’s width was 2.87″, while the upcoming device comes in 2.92″. The thickness of the previous-gen smartphone remains .31″, while the latest model would arrive in .33″. The weight of the OnePlus 9 is comparatively higher than the OnePlus 8.

Display

The display of both models comes with a Fluid AMOLED with a 20:9 aspect ratio. Even both the phone offers the exact resolution of 1080X2400p. The latest model would come with a better screen size of 6.7 inches when it comes to displaying size. Though the new one comes with a bigger screen, the pixel density is about 396 PPI, while the OnePlus 8 delivers a higher 402 PPI. The screen to body ratio of both smartphones is ~88.7%.

Camera Feature

Let us look at the camera features. The OnePlus 8 has a triple camera setup, while the OnePlus 9 might have a quad-camera system. Both of them have a 48MP main camera in common. But the primary camera of the OnePlus 9 is a specially designed custom-developed Sony IMX789 camera. A dual native ISO comes with it that combines two different ISO images and delivers a better dynamic image quality.

The Oneplus 8 had a secondary camera of 16MP ultrawide lens, while the Oneplus 9 comes with a 50MP Sony IMX766 ultra-wide lens. Both have a 2 MP macro lens, and additionally, the OnePlus 9 has an 8MP telephoto lens on completing the quad-camera setup. Both smartphones can record 4K videos at 30 fps.

Hardware

The CPU of both devices are 2.84 GHz, but the GPU varies in both. The OnePlus 8 has an Adreno 650 GPU, but the OnePlus 9 has an Adreno 660 GPU. Though a Snapdragon processor power both the models, the previous-gen mobile phone has a Snapdragon 865, while the upcoming smartphone gets a Snapdragon 888 upgrade. Both have 8/12 GB RAM and comes in two variants of internal storage: 128GB and 256GB. Both the smartphone runs on the latest Android 11 Oxygen OS.

Battery & Price

We had a 4300mAh battery juicing up the OnePlus 8, whereas the OnePlus 9 has a powerful 5000mAh battery. Hence we can expect a much better battery backup from the upcoming one. But both the models have the same 30W fast charging supporting them; there is no upgrade on that front. The OnePlus 8 price in India is Rs.49999, and we expect the upcoming OnePlus 9 price in India to be on par with its predecessor’s cost.
