This half-off deal for the OnePlus 9 is perfect for Android enthusiasts

We have a complicated relationship with the OnePlus 9. The phone came to life in 2021 with roaring performance at an attainable price, but was cut down at every turn from the cameras that weren’t as good as the OnePlus 9 Pro’s all the way through to the OxygenOS 12 update which injected Oppo’s ColorOS sensibilities into a user base that found it difficult to embrace. There are maybe a couple of reasons you’d want to pick one up these days — maybe it’s for your collection, maybe it’ll be a cheap spare, maybe it’s ripe for ROM hacking — but you’d obviously want to get it for the right price. That right price may finally be here, right now.
