New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on April 6, 2021) follows:

OnePlus has unveiled its 2021 flagship devices in the form of the OnePlus 9 family of devices. These devices further ditch the original OnePlus recipe (top-tier specs for mid-range price) as they step up to the big dogs.

These devices are not cheap as they go for the ultra-premium segment of the market that’s dominated by players like Apple and Samsung.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip under the hood, a Hasselblad-tuned camera, gorgeous classic 2021 design and a fancy paint-job are just some of the things going for these devices.

Of course, there is the issue of OnePlus ditching its HydrogenOS efforts and the OnePlus devices in China now run on its sister’s ColorOS.

In recent times, we have seen OnePlus stumble one too many times in terms of pushing out stable, reliable software updates to its devices so maybe this is a welcome move.
