The Motorola Edge+ (2023) offers a larger storage space and is a newer model, which could mean longer support and updates. It also has a slightly better battery life, a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals, and a higher megapixel count for its main and telephoto cameras, suggesting potentially better photo quality. On the other hand, the OnePlus 9 Pro, while older and with less storage, has a higher screen resolution which may mean a sharper display, a slightly lighter body, and could be more cost-friendly. It also supports wireless charging at a higher speed—something to consider if you value quick wireless charging. Both have glass backs, OLED screens, and HDR video capability, and run on Android. If you prefer newer technology and superior camera capabilities, and don't mind spending more, consider the Motorola. However, if budget is a priority and you still want a quality device, the OnePlus 9 Pro could be the better choice. Give Feedback

DigitalTrends

Joe Maring | May 2023
"Just about everything I want in a high-end Android phone is here. The Edge Plus looks and feels [sic] great, the display is outstanding, performance is rock-solid, the software is organized and helpful, battery life is phenomenal, and it doesn’t take too long to get the phone back to 100% when it does eventually die. The best part? You get all of that for hundreds of dollars less than similar phones from Google and Samsung."

"The OnePlus 9 Pro offers phenomenal performance, a vastly superior camera to the brand’s previous smartphones, and a variety of top-end features that make this a serious contender for anyone who’s in the market for a premium Android handset.The 6.7-inch 120Hz QHD display is among the best we’ve seen on a smartphone, with plenty of detail, strong brightness, and a variety of other tweaks. If you like to watch a lot of video on your phone in particular, this is a great option."
