    It already got whooped by Samsung so we already know that it wasn’t going to win against Apple

    1:53 yeah that ‘weird blue hue’ is called the sky. Hope that helps.

    It’s just sad that oneplus keeps increasing their price to compete with the latest top-of-the-line flagships but just CAN’T/DON’T deliver on good cameras. That’s that, it is what it is. No matter how clean your software is, no matter how fast your processor is or how high your RAM is. You just aren’t there yet in terms of camera quality! Oh and cut out the Hasselblad BS man c’mon.

      Bro op9p has improved a lot in camera after the updates, and this review is clearly biased, i suggest watching reviews with latest software and even if op9 doesnt beat for now 12pm it comes really close and oneplus has probably the best ultrawide camera out there

    In India Oneplus is half the price compared to 12 pro max.

      Wow, then you know which one to buy, in this 1:1 comparison anyway. Plus, Gcam can be added to the OnePlus to improve detail and dynamic range.

      In eu the 12pm starts at like 1300€ while oneplus 900€

    I personally thinks the iphone obliterates the OnePlus.

    Every comparison needs to state whether you applied the latest update to the OnePlus. It’s a newer device, and clearly OnePlus is pushing out updates, probably because they knew on announcement day that the cameras suck.

      Iphone favoured. If you’re social media heavy then you should probably get iphone. Other than a few Androids like s21 and Google pixel

    CrapPlus has never and will never beat Apple when it come to photography…what a joke…wait till the next iphone come out…when it comes to photography no one beats Apple….the whole phone is built around the camera and photography…no matter if Crapsung is teaming up with Olympus…what a gimmick!!!

    Please compare the OnePlus 9 Pro to the IPhone and Galaxy Ultra to see which displays more detail in movies.

    You didn’t mention 9 Pros ability to do 4K 120fps while iPhone can only do 4K 60fps.

    • Kaushik Talukdar

      April 11, 2021 at 5:44 am

      Yeah sure. As if like there is no weird stuttering going on at 6:06, on the bricks. As if like, THAT is usable footage.

    • Jeff H

      April 11, 2021 at 2:40 pm

      @Kaushik Talukdar As if like, yeah, like that is the 8K footage.

    Well matched up. That time has gone when iPhone cameras were significantly better than the rest. Overall, it really doesn’t matter which is better. They’re all super good no?

    • JJ Aye

      April 11, 2021 at 8:31 am

      Exactly. They’ve clearly caught up in just about every way yet still managed to keep it a little cheaper than the two major flagships.
      Ive had the OnePlus 8 Pro since it came out last year.

      Decided against the 9 Pro. It’s an amazing smartphone but would rather wait til the next flagship before upgrading. 🤷‍♂️

    No portrait from rear camera?

    Did you update Oneplus with latest firmware update ? They fixed many camera issues with that.

    iPhone 12 Pro Max is the king of cameras.

    It helps me better get the refined features on the cameras. I thought it would take ages to experience the improvements of the focused theme on the previous iPhone.

    I just start watching c|net, because I thought they was impartial, but I notice that everything vs apple, at the end always is apple. Definitely they’re an apple fan.

    • Juan Acosta

      April 11, 2021 at 2:20 pm

      Or they receive financial benefit from apple.

    Didn’t agree with hardly any of your choices, 95 % of the photos I chose were from the 1plus, and even the selfies looked much better on the 1 plus.

    Full price: for the oneplus 9 pro at t-mobile $1068.00
    Full price: for the base 128gb iPhone 12 Pro max at t-mobile $1099.99
    Not much difference in price although the oneplus 9 pro is cheaper but the regular oneplus 9 is Full price:

    There are several questions about the software on the phones. The Phone 12 Pro Max is on iOS 14.4.2 and the OnePlus 9 Pro is on Oxygen OS 11.2.2.2.LE15AA which was released on Apr. 2, 2021.

    U need to do S21 Ultra. Instead Ultra is by far the better camera 📸 then Iphone. SMH
