Priced at Rs 16,999, OnePlus X fulfills anyone looking for a great performing mid range phone. It has a stunning design, great display and good software along with great performance.

The OnePlus X may lose some of the OnePlus 2's glamour with no fingerprint scanner and cut-back performance, but it's still a smooth operator that's impressively slim and light, with a sharp, seriously good AMOLED display and a dependable 13-megapixel camera proving highlights.

Thin and light; Strong value; Vibrant screen; Expandable storage; Decent battery life

If you're looking to buy a cheap phone off-contract, and you're willing to wait a bit to get an invite, definitely buy this phone. It has the best specs for its price range, and it's an extremely well-built device.

The OnePlus X is a relatively compact slice of smartphone loveliness for ￡200. No, it's not the fastest phone in the world, nor is it the best in any category, but it's a good all-rounder.

OnePlus came extremely close to creating the perfect phone with the OnePlus X, especially considering its exceptionally low price point of $249. That gets you solid performance with solid battery life, a fantastic screen, and a clean Android experience.

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.

Build quality trounces near-priced competition; microSD expansion; AMOLED screen delivers deep blacks

With a track record for making stellar handsets at incredibly low prices, OnePlus is one of the hottest smartphone makers at the moment. With the OnePlus X, the company continues this legacy, providing consumers with a genuinely impressive mid-range handset.
