Test Exclusive_2020_1180 (Multi, 3GB RAM, 8GB Storage)

So I got the Phone on March 30th and well let's get straight to the battery life, I get on average 6hrs to 7hrs screen on time but it's mostly 6hrs+ thats from 100% to 20%. My usage include alot of calls, YouTube, gaming like 1 to 2 hrs and some camera use. At 120hz refresh rate you'll get 6hrs but that's the max you will get. The performance is just great, it gets hot but that might be due to the climate here in south India, when it's cool the phone is also cool but when it's hot the phone naturally is hot as the ambient temp is 30°c so make of that what you will. The cameras are great and Google Camera from XDA's website just make everything way better. Amazing colours, contrast, shadows the works. Except for some reason the street lights show up as yellow when it clearly is an Amber colour. Sound and haptics are just amazing way better that my Redmi note 5 pro. The screen is just amazing nothing else to say. The auto brightness is a hit and miss but it gets the job done. Coming to the software and well it's running Oxygen OS 11 and it might be the last true oxygen OS out there unless oxygen OS 12 is able to bring the features of 11 to 12 that would be great. The ability to uninstall apps that you don't need and if that not possible the ability to disabled apps is a must have. Oxygen OS 12 does not have the ability to disable apps and the theme store which I thought was a great idea was a terrible mistake. Notification issues with apps and a lot more. I've used oxygen OS 12 on my cousin 9R as he received the OTA update and he hates it, and I could say the same but the new AOD features are good. Long story short it's an amazing all rounder especially for 38k which I got it at. Yes it's the 12gb model. If you buy any device and you get an OS update don't just jump on and update it wait for a week or 2. Edit:- it's been nearly 6 months now and I have gotten the oxygen OS 12 update. I backed up my phone and updated to oxygen OS 12 and I was speechless. Everything that made oxygen OS just disappeared, I used it for a day and it just felt so wrong and I just had to downgrade it to oxygen OS 11 and now it's just perfect again. Battery is still the same 6 to 7 hrs sot at 60hz and 6 to 6.5 hrs on 120hz.

I am writing down this after using for a couple of days. I got the carbon black one with 12GB RAM. Overall the device is good, and honestly is the reskin of one plus 8T with lower price 😁. I will list down the pros and cons - pros - 1. With Oxygen OS 11, the overall user experience is quite smooth. You will get an update as soon as you finish setup. 2. The Warp 65 fast charging is fine, takes around 35 mins for one full charge. 3. The screen to body ratio is good. 4. The matt finish on the back side is awesome. Cons - 1. Battery drains a little fast, not sure if some future updates will fix it. 2. Rear Camera is ok, can be better. 3. I would have preferred popup front camera, rather than the punch hole. 4. For dual apps, I would have loved to see the option for all apps. Right now it has support for few. 5. support for few more 5G bands will be good to have.

During Unboxing-To be honest the first impression about the 9R was totally on the Opposite side except for the design side. During the initial setup, I never experienced such a thriller as the phone was getting warmer by every minute. Thanks to the Oxygen OS update 11.2.3.3 which made a huge difference on the same day of unboxing. Seriously, The phone reached a peak temperature when the new update was getting downloaded and installed and during charging as well (Seriously, At some point, I had to leave the phone for a safer distance... funny but TRUE). Thanks to the 1+ teams effort to solve the "UnUsual" heating issue. Now after Two weeks of usage and even after many heavy usages the phone never got warmer so i think this will continue (fingers crossed). Pros : 1. Display - 120Hz - Now I am damn sure that I can never go back to the lower refresh rates screen phones. The phone's display is silky/Buttery smooth (Take whichever you like). The adaptive / Dynamic refresh rate option is a good one that actually saves battery by optimising it based on the usage. 2. Camera- Never had a complaint so far. Got a lot of options especially in PRO mode. The end result of a photo (Quad of Selfi) can directly relate to the amount of light that the camera sensor gets when you press the shutter. 3. Performance - 870 chipset is really good. No problem so far and it is highly efficient in managing the RAM especially when playing Games. 4. Oxygen OS - Got released (First 1+ phone for me) when started using this phone OS as it is free from Ads and other Bloatware especially the installed/suggested Apps. 5. Charging- Charging experience is named perfectly as "WARP CHARGING" really good option to have and it fills the battery from 0 to 100 well under 45 mins. No heat observed during charging. 6. Battery - So far so good 1.5 to 2 days of battery life between charging with moderate usage( 5 to 6 hours of screen usage). For me, this device didn't die within 1 day. I don't mind if the phone runs out of charge by end of the day as it has Warp Charging a must for all the devices. 7. Haptic motor-Very good touch and feel when the motor vibrates feels premium. Con: 1. Pricing - Price could have been much more competitive at the end of the day not only the corporate should feel good about profit but majorly the end customers should feel good about the purchase. Finally, as a one-liner I can say, An all-rounder device packed with all the Essentials/Expected points for this present trend but if you can afford it.

Bueno 👍

Feels like flagship at a discounted price. This is still my main phone for 3 years now.
