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 a
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
With a premium body and solid internals, what we have is a device that might be OnePlus's most compelling yet. It is certainly not without its flaws, and may not be future proof, but for now, the OnePlus X is one of the best bang for your buck smartphones...

The $249 price tag, An excellently built body that feels like it's worth much more than the price tag, A MicroSD slot! That will be nice when the Marshmallow upgrade comes
OnePlus' awful invite system, Anorexic 6.9mm thickness could have been expanded to fit more battery, It's missing a few things, namely NFC and 5GHz and 802.11ac Wi-Fi, The navigation buttons don't light up? Seriously?, The glass is fragile, and it's easy
Despite the shortcomings, the X is a phone you will want to feature on any sub-$250 buying guide The OnePlus X is definitely among the better looking phones I've used this year. I also love that the phone's easily usable in one hand, but at the same ti...
Bad camera, day and night, So-so display, Limited LTE support
It seemed like a dream on paper: The specs of the company's excellent debut flagship squeezed into a smaller, well constructed shell. In reality, OnePlus has cut some corners here. The X suffers in the camera and display department, and for some reason d...
I believe that like me many of you are really shocked by the outcome of this camera shootout. I went in to this photo challenge believing that each phone would be capable of fairly similar photo quality, but the results speak for themselves. In last pl...
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
Camera is just bad in most situations, Battery life was all over the place, LTE could be spotty in the US, No NFC, Final Thoughts, There's a reason the list above is almost all positives and a few negatives, but those few negatives could be a huge deal br
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...

Excellent fit and finish at a manageable size, MicroSD expansion, Useful software improvements, Competitive price
Extremely slippery, Subpar camera, Lacks important LTE bands for the US, Aging chipset,
At its base price, the Onyx edition of the OnePlus X comes in just $80 cheaper than the OnePlus 2. The larger model outshines it in virtually every sense, from processor to power pack, so the natural question is: who'd buy the X when they could get the...

Thin and light, Strong value, Vibrant screen, Expandable storage, Decent battery life
Last year's hardware, Fingerprint and scratch magnet, No NFC
Getting ahold of a OnePlus handset has always been a challenge, but the company is using the launch of the X to trial a more streamlined system that shortens the invite period (whilst extending the validity of individual invites), ensures there are more o...
