OnePlus X review - now completely invite-free
This is a shame, especially after the excellent camera on the OnePlus 2 , and it rather brings down the handset as a whole. The OnePlus X has a lovely screen, great build quality and excellent battery life, but when its performance levels are roughly on par with other smartphones in this price...

Featured Review: OnePlus X
There's a reason the list above is almost all positives and a few negatives, but those few negatives could be a huge deal breaker for some. Still for $250 it's very difficult to be overly critical of a device that's built this well and performs nearly as well, all with the latest build of OxygenOS...
Pros:
- Low price
- high value
- Fast device
- great multi-tasking
- Amazing build
- AMOLED screen
- Size of the device
- Dual-SIM
- good network band support even in the US
- OxygenOS with plenty of tweaks
- FM Tuner
- MicroSD card support
Cons:
- Camera is just bad in most situations
- Battery life was all over the place
- LTE could be spotty in the US
- No NFC

OnePlus X review: An inexpensive phone that doesn't feel cheap
As a company, OnePlus is a bit frustrating to follow. It's manage to produce two outstanding Android phones in the last two years, but it's still a gamble trying to buy one. Sign up to gain exclusive access to email subscriptions, event invitations, competitions, giveaways, and much more.

OnePlus X review
OnePlus had a happy 2014 thanks to its first phone, the OnePlus One , but 2015 was harder, with only a lukewarm reaction to the OnePlus 2 . The Chinese company then brought out the OnePlus X towards the end of the year to see it into 2016 – and it's a phone with an even more attractive price tag...

OnePlus X review: Affordable, but no ace
OnePlus has a formula: make phones affordable. We're huge fans of the OnePlus 2 handset , which effectively carved a new standard by delivering near-flagship quality for a middling ￡239 price-point. With the OnePlus X, however, the formula has been tweaked.
Pros:
- Build quality trounces near-priced competition
- microSD expansion
- AMOLED screen delivers deep blacks
Cons:
- Graphical limitations in this configuration
- no NFC
- no fingerprint scanner

Priced at just $250, a premium body and good internals make the OnePlus X quite a steal. Of course, OnePlus' infamous invite system does return, but small windows for open sales will be available, before gradually becoming free from requiring any invitations.
Pros:
- - Sleek
- accessible design - AMOLED display leveraged well via Dark Mode and Ambient Display - Performance still reliable
- even if not blazing fast - Return to microUSB port
- at least for now - Battery above average - Expandable storage - Great price
- makes it accessible for just about anyone
Cons:
- - Snapdragon 801 really showing its age - Lack of NFC
- wireless charging
- fast charging - Camera is inconsistent
- especially video - Software still needs polish
- somewhat buggy - Lack of LTE bands makes phone not futureproof in US

Cons:
- Short battery life
- Mediocre cameras
- Heavy for the size
