The OnePlus 10 Pro is on offer as part of Amazonโs Prime Day 2022, but weโre not going to suggest you buy it, because if you dig around a little more, thereโs a better offer on a different OnePlus phone. The OnePlus 9 Pro may be a phone from 2021, but at $699, itโs yours for a very good price, and you get the top version the company made.
OnePlus has reduced the OnePlus 10 Pro to $799 for Prime Day, but for this you get the 8GB/128GB model and not the top — and recently released — 12GB/256GB version. For that, youโll have to pay $969. The $699 OnePlus 9 Pro has 12GB of
But, youโre about to say, shouldnโt you always get the latest model of a phone if you can? Yes, absolutely, but there isnโt a massive amount of difference between the OnePlus 9 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro. They both share basically the same screen, a 6.7-inch AMOLED, and have essentially the same rear cameras too. Each has a 48-megapixel main camera and a 50MP wide-angle camera, plus an 8MP telephoto camera. The only thing the OnePlus 9 Pro is missing is the 150-degree wide-angle mode. Itโs cool, but itโs not a reason to buy.
Hasselblad has tuned both cameras, and although itโs a newer version of the camera brandโs software on the OnePlus 10 Pro, again it doesnโt add so much that makes it worth buying over the OnePlus 9 Pro. We tested the 9 Pro and the 10 Pro, along with the OnePlus 8 Pro, to see how the camera on the companyโs most recent phones compared. The OnePlus 10 Pro came out on top, but when you look at the results, youโll see there often isnโt much to choose between them.
The software on both is the same, OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12, and OnePlus promises three major
The two phones are similar enough that price becomes a major factor when choosing between them, and a $270 saving over the equivalent OnePlus 10 Pro means the OnePlus 9 Pro becomes great value even when you take its age into account. The $699 OnePlus 9 Pro is just one of the smartphone deals on Prime Day 2022, but itโs a definite recommendation from us if you’re set on a OnePlus phone. Why not see if there is a good Prime Day smartwatch deal at the same time?
