OnePlus X (Unlocked) Review

The unlocked OnePlus X is a premium Android phone for an affordable price, but missing North American LTE bands and a frustrating invite-only setup makes it hard to recommend for U.S. users. Unlike the OnePlus One and the OnePlus 2, the new OnePlus X ($249; 16GB) isn't being advertised as a "flagship killer." Instead, it is aimed at shaking up the budget market. This compact, premium Android phone doesn't make any major hardware compromises—and it's easy to use one-handed. That makes it a rare commodity these days, but thanks to a pesky invite-only purchase system and the lack of key North American bands, the OnePlus X is difficult to recommend over rival unlocked phones like the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 4.7 and the Google Nexus 5X. Design, Display, and FeaturesThe OnePlus X has an attractive, premium build. It's essentially two slabs of glass held in place by a metal frame, similar in design to the classic Apple iPhone 4. It measures 5.51 by 2.72 by 0.27 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.86 ounces, making it easy to hold and use with just one hand. The Nexus 5X (5.79 by 2.86 by 0.31 inches, 4.8 ounces) is notably larger, while the Idol 3 (5.40 by 2.59 by 0.30 inches, 3.88 ou...

OnePlus is a relatively new phone maker to have come onto the global scene. But within a year of its launching the OnePlus One, the Chinese phone maker has been on the radar of not just the Android-modding crowd but also regular users who want an affordable phone with high end specification set.

"Good value for money"

In my point iof view, the One Plus One is a really good phone for the price it comes. Really smooth. Got two slots where you can either put 2 sim cards or you can put a sim card or a memory card. It is really light phone.
Pros:
  • Camera
  • Speed
  • Display
Cons:
  • Inbuilt storage should be increased

Phone looks good and functioned well

Phone looks good and functioned well. However the edges are sleek and quite prone to slip through hold. The LCD of the screen is broken and I cannot even repair it. The screen is cost is about 150$, it's better to buy a new one.

OnePlus X Review

Once again OnePlus shows that it can bring an amazing value to a product. In terms of absolute value, I would say that this phone is basically your 2014 high-end phone, with a design that would beat most 2014 Android handsets. This in itself is a feat.

Besides the Ceramic and its weirdly inflated price, it does indeed look like OnePlus has done it again, crafting a mass-appeal Android smartphone that's much better equipped than its low cost suggests.
