I was ready to crown the OnePlus X as one of the best budget smartphones of 2015. Compared to other $250 unlocked devices, it's more powerful than the Motorola Moto G , more beautiful than the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 and runs a more updated OS than the Huawei P8 Lite .
The inexpensive OnePlus X is fast; beautifully designed and has some nifty customizable features
The glossy handset is slippery and has limited compatibility with key LTE bands in the US
