The most anticipated OnePlus 9 series will arrive by the 1st week of March. The series will consist of  3 phones: the regular 9, 9 pro, and the new 9 lite which could be the 1st OnePlus phone with 'lite' in it's name. The 9 series have major improvements in the camera quality over the 8 series, which had above average cameras, but not flagship level.

OnePlus 9 pro

This year, the 9 pro will have QHD+ 120hz curved screen with adaptive refresh rate and a punch hole cutout for the selfie camera. The phone will come with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 888 SoC for snappy performance. The cameras come with big upgrades as OnePlus have partnered with Hasselblad for optics and Google for camera software. There will be no unwanted cameras this year like the photochrom lens that the 8 pro had. The selfie camera will also have major improvements. 

OnePlus 9

The regular 9 will have a similar screen like the 8T from last year with 1080p resolution and 120hz refresh rate. Snapdragon 888 will also power this phone as OnePlus never let their cheaper phones lack performance. Cameras consist of a main lens, ultrawide and a telephoto lens or an unwanted macro camera/depth sensor. This year OnePlus will add wireless charging to the 9, but it will not be as fast as the 9 pro. 

The complete lineup will have Oxygen OS 11 on top of Android 11, the alert slider, stereo speakers and any sort of water resistance rating. The 9 lite will be a toned down version of the vanilla 9. 


OnePlus will face major competition this year from other brands like Samsung and Apple with phones like the S21/S21+ and iPhone 12/12 mini, and the camera quality will alone decide if people will buy a OnePlus instead of a Samsung, but in other terms OnePlus phones have the best in class performance, great build quality, and Oxygen OS which my favorite UI of all times.

When it comes to over-hear noise cancelling headphones, Sony leaded the industry with their wh1000 series. And now, the competition just got more stiffer as Apple introduced the Airpods Max. The latest and greatest noise cancelling king the wh1000-xm4 costs $350, but can be available for around $300, but Apple just dropped the Airpods Max with a price tag of $550, which got people thinking about it. Lets compare them to see that if Sony will remain the king or does Apple take the crown? Apple AirPods Max takes it from Sony in terms of build quality. Apple uses high quality stainless steel for the body, aluminum for the earcups and memory foam for the headband. They are superior materials in every way compared to plastic used in Sony. But dont take it wrong, the xm4 is also really built well and is really comfortable to use. In terms of sound quality Apple uses custom built 40mm drivers and they sound extremely good. The H1 chip inside both earcups provide computational audio with adapt

Qualcomm and Google announced their collaboration to simplify and bring 4 years of Android updates to smartphones powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Under Project Treble devices running on Snapdragon chipsets (from SD888 onwards) will receive security updates and new android versions for the next four years.  Project Treble will enable OEMs to upgrade their devices to the latest Android versions without worrying about Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset specific software. This is a huge leap in terms of android updates which is not always guaranteed in the Android world. OnePlus provides android updates to their devices for 3 years and recently Samsung also started providing 3 years of updates for their flagship devices. This will be divert some Apple customers into Android space because from the coming year Android smartphones with Snapdragon chipsets will be getting long term software support just like iPhones and increase the longevity of Android smartphones from 1-2 years to 4+ wit

                                                                        Credit: Getty images for Samsung Samsung received a lot of hate due to the performance disparity between last year's Exynos 990 and the Snapdragon 865 which were used in Samsung flagships. The Exynos not only lacked performance in CPU and GPU department, but also was not power efficient and had thermal issues compared to the Snapdragon 865. Even the Snapdragon model clicked better pictures due to its better Image Signal Processor (ISP). Samsung has listened to our complaints last year and has introduced the new Exynos 2100 this year in their S21 series. The chip has the same cores and core configuration as the Snapdragon 888, but all the cores are clocked at higher frequencies than the 888. They are using the latest Mali G78 GPU from ARM for graphics processing. In an in-depth testing of both the Snapdragon and Exynos models of the S21 ultra by Gary from SpeedTestG , the results were quite interesting. The Exyn
