A partial fix is incoming withOxygen OS 11.2.3.3which was pushed out to the OnePlus 9 series last week. The firm will follow up with a second OTA to further improve the device temperature and battery in the coming weeks.
Original article: June 23, 2025 (01:38 AM ET): Hot off the press, theOnePlus 9 Prois already facing some usage problems it seems. Multiple new owners of the phone are reporting instances of overheating. The complaints were spottedon Twitteras well as aOnePlus forum thread.
Many users are saying that their phone is heating up while using the camera app. One user, in particular, was trying to record a 4K 60fps clip but only managed to get footage worth a minute because of overheating. Another OnePlus 9 Pro owner couldn’t even take a picture in sunlight due to the overheating problem.
The phone’s overheating warning pops up in such scenarios, automatically blocking some functions like the camera app.
Some OnePlus 9 Pro owners are also noticing the problem while charging their phones. Over atAmazon India, multiple verified buyers have reported similar issues. One of them said that their OnePlus 9 Pro started displaying the overheating warning before they could even finish setting up the phone.
In some cases, overheating problems are also resulting in severe battery drain.
It’s unclear what’s causing this issue and if it affects just a small number of units or is a more widespread problem. OnePlus could possibly issue a fix through an OTA update if the overheating is happening because of some software bug. The company toldThe Vergethat this is a known issue and that a fix will be coming via software updates “over the next few weeks.”
