We asked, you told us: You don’t think the OnePlus 9 series is hot at all

July 14, 2025

OnePlus spent days leading up to theOnePlus 9 serieslaunch hyping its new flagship line. It touted a camera partnership with Hasselblad, spoke of improved wireless charging, and flaunted a new set of colorways. There was plenty to whet fans’ appetites. Despite all this, the OnePlus 9 series hasn’t been met with fanfare by polled readers.

In arecent poll, we asked how you felt about the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. Are these phones hot or not? Here are the results.

OnePlus 9: Hot or not?

OnePlus 9 Pro: Hot or not?

We published two polls on launch day — one for the vanilla OnePlus 9, and another for the OnePlus 9 Pro. Both garnered around 1,800 votes apiece, but the results are far from positive.

More than 70% of respondents believe that the OnePlus 9 is far from hot.

The OnePlus 9 Pro doesn’t fare much better. Although this poll saw a lower tally than the other, 67.5% of respondents also voted “not.” This result is surprising considering the findings in ourreview. Bar the Pro’s battery life and 5G issues, it’s one of the best OnePlus phones in years.

To contrast this result with other OnePlus polls, nearly 70% of respondents in ourOnePlus Nord pollfrom last year called that particular device “hot.” That poll saw nearly 30,000 votes, too.Android Authorityreaders just don’t seem that interested in the OnePlus 9 series.

The comments largely echo this disenchantment with the series that extends to the brand itself.
