the oneplus 9 and 9 pro provide the biggest leap in recent years and now we have both handsets in-house we've decided to give the duo some early unboxing and first impressions treatment
ahead of time the biggest notable with the entire oneplus 9 series is that new partnership with camera stalwart's hasselblad as you would expect there are some serious hints on the oneplus 9 and 9 pro packaging that would be hard to avoid when unboxing it for yourself if you didn't already know that hasselblad are involved with oneplus on this device there are a few things to note though it's highly unlikely that you will get a special media pack with your oneplus 9 series handset so your overall unboxing might be a little less jam-packed but still exciting nonetheless of course the massive media box comes with both devices plus
The warp wireless 50 watt charger compatible with the oneplus 9 pro although it should charge the standard oneplus 9 at 15 watt speeds there are also some staple cases for the oneplus 9 pro with the classic sandstone and carbon fiber options likely to be available when you pre-order the 9 series let's put those aside for a moment and focus upon the baseline oneplus 9 though of course you'll recognize
The red packaging of the red styling it's been here since the launch of the oneplus 7t back in 2019 but with a little tweak and that hasselblad logo up front and center so you can't miss it after slicing the rear adhesive tape pulling the lid off the box and there's the purplish winter mist variant which looks incredibly striking even under studio lighting putting that aside though let's see what we get in the retail box there's a clear case that's etched inside with like a texture so you should be able to admire that stunning color option from the oneplus 9 series but you also get that never settle logo there too
a slightly larger camera cut out this year it's actually quite a flexible squidgy case to boot which should keep your oneplus 9 protected at least until you opt for another one but putting that aside and there's also a usbc to usbc charge cable in the trademark oneplus red which is compatible with the new 65 watt warp charge brick in the eu flavor here which should take you from around zero to 100 in under 45 minutes
So pretty super fast from the get-go the box lead also contains some accoutrements including all of the paperwork and even a welcome letter from pete lowe himself with a sim eject tool i was told that the retail packaging should have a sticker but i couldn't seem to find it in my box but that's everything in the oneplus 9 packaging so let's see what's different in the oneplus 9 pros box so it too has that hasselblad logo embossed upon the bottom edge of the box oneplus really wants us to know that
The swedish firm are involved with the oneplus 9 series and pulling off the lid you get to see that this is the silvery morning mist finish which is just a fancy way really of saying a fingerprint magnet mirror style i can already feel the soft curves on all sides of the device this does come with a curved display but let's put that aside and see what else we have in here so unlike the oneplus 9 the pro at least in the morning mist comes with a soft gray case it's matte rather than glossy and it has the never settle logo down there too note the large camera cutout it's also a bit larger to accommodate the new camera setup in the box we also get that new usbc to usbc charge cable and the 65 watt warp charge brick is also included so no need to go out and buy a separate charger with any of the new oneplus 9 devices it also has all of the paperwork and letter from pete lau but again i couldn't seem to find the oneplus sticker so maybe you will have more luck with your own retail box if you do plan to order this device at this early stage though after powering on and whizzing through the basic setup i must admit i'm already feeling an affinity towards
The smaller oneplus 9 rather than the pro i think the color and the flat display might be big sellers this time around but yeah it's still a relatively early unboxing to give you some first impressions we will have some further thoughts and a full review plus comparisons with the oneplus 8 and 8 pro in the coming days
