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

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 - 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

When OnePlus founder and CEO Carl Pei first showed off the new X in our Manhattan office, I was impressed. Nice glass design, kind of a hybrid iPhone/Xperia look. The textbook definition of "premium." But it's really what he said next that got me. "It's 250 bucks." Wait.....what?
Pros:
- The look
- People have describe the OnePlus X as an iPhone 5 look alike and honestly, I don't see it
- I think OnePlus has added enough of its own personality to make it stand out, especially in the sub $300 range
Cons:
- When you really scrutinize the spec sheet
- there is a lot missing you might actually want: NFC
- fingerprint reader
- 5GHz wifi support
- only 16GB onboard storage (with expandable storage but without Android flex storage)
- and USB Type-C.

Straight Up
The OnePlus X is not another flagship killer, we have the OnePlus 2 for that. Instead OnePlus decided to take a break from the high profile smartphone game and brings us a stunning mid-ranger capable of delivering on both looks and performance.

The OnePlus X is probably the first time that OnePlus has really deviated from their design language. Yes, the OnePlus 2 was different from the OnePlus One in a few obvious ways but the basic shape, ergonomics etc remained quite similar.
Pros:
- Brilliant Display
- Great Ergonomics and Design
- Good Build Quality
- Hybrid Dual SIM Slot
- No Overheating
Cons:
- Slippery Back
- No Backlighting for Capacitive Keys
- No Dual Band WiFi and 802.11 ac Standard Support
- Feeble Loudspeaker
