My favorite site for this kind of info is Notebookcheck. What you can do is search the processor that is inside of your phone (or the phone you want to buy) and then it shows a collection of benchmarks for that processor, and that will include your phone, or the phone you want to buy. It can get kinda tricky if you are looking at older phones because after a while the benchmarks get updated to newer versions and you will not be able to compare across generations, but still it's better than nothing.
The Snapdragon 690 inside this phone is roughly the same performance as your Galaxy S9, but the Snapdragon 690 has a slower GPU, roughly half the speed as your S9
Maybe it's not as much of a concern at this price point, but OnePlus has gone on the record that this phone will never be updated beyond 2020's Android 11 (it ships with 2019's Android 10) and that all support (even bug fixes) will be dropped after 2022. Just a heads-up.
I've had this phone for 5 days now. I had a One Plus 6 before I got this. It does have pretty low specs which makes sense for a budget phone but it still gets the job done. I can game just fine and iPhone users don't complain about how blurry my pictures are anymore. There was a better deal in my opinion earlier this month where you could get it 10% off with a free pair of one plus buds which I'm loving so far. Basically one plus version of air pods.

Would this be a significant upgrade from an iPhone 6s Plus?
The snapdragon 690 is somewhere between the Apple A10 found in the iPhone 7 and the Apple A11 found in the iPhone 8. So yes it's an upgrade in performance. It's also an upgrade in battery life.
But in general if you like iOS, then this phone is not worth upgrading to, you should either keep your phone, or look at the iPhone SE 2 (I'd choose the 128gb version for $450). It basically blows the pants off this phone in terms of performance.
This phone is a good value for Android users, though.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to a technologically challenged person like me. I looked at the new SE but I the screen is too small for me. Performance, battery life and a bigger screen are all important so I think I may pull the trigger on this! repped
Anybody know of a good site that lets you see benchmark comparisons between various phones? I've been using GSM Arena but not all phones have a benchmark and those that do sometimes don't use the same benchmarking software. It's hard to tell how this phone compares to say, a Galaxy S9 just by looking at the chipset name or processor speeds.
I'd recommend: www.nanoreview.net
Gives all the information you could ask for on both CPU/GPU and has head-to-head on every spec. Very useful site.
Read the OP. Unlocked with no carrier bloat, unlike the freebie Metro offering. Just like almost all phones on manufacturer sites, if not all.
How are you spelling unlocked? I searched "unlocked" at the beginning of this post and the first 5 "unlocked" are advertised cellphones and then there's mine.
Got in on the metro deal with one LG stylo 6 and the Oneplus n10. Started out liking the LG more but after a few days I'm really liking N10. Its a very smooth phone and I am impressed with the camera quality. I might just buy the unlocked version

For example the Galaxy S9 has the Snapdragon 845, here is the Notebookcheck page for that processor. https://www.notebookche
And the newest processor that Notebookcheck has is the Snapdragon 865, here is that one https://www.notebookche
Here is the Snapdragon 690 in the Nord N10 https://www.notebookche

Would have been nice to see this on the heading OP.

I've found no site that compares my daily driver Samsung A5 to my new Nord 10 like this one.

Security updates? I think it's for a year. Do your homework.

Feeling the same way. Thinking there might be a cheap 120 Hz phone later this year, or early next? My OP6 will easily last till then!
Any issues activating this on Verizon?
How would this compare to the Google Pixel 4a?
Yeah it's in network options. Change the preferred network to 4G LTE
