Development and launch[edit]
Shortly after the launch of the OnePlus 2, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei hinted at the launch of a new device at the end of 2015 when interviewed at one of the popup events in New York.[8] After months of speculation by the media, the OnePlus X was officially unveiled on 29 October 2015. It was subsequently praised by reviewers and critics alike for its elegant looking design and high quality build.[9][10] The price of the phone was announced at $249 for the unlocked version, making it a relatively affordable phone.[11]The Ceramic version of the phone comes in at $399 and features a ceramic back baked over a 25-day manufacturing process, which OnePlus claims is the first of its kind for a smartphone material.[12][13]
Four days after the release of the phone, the company also released an extended warranty programme called On-Guard for users in Europe and India. It gives new OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X users coverage from device breakage, liquid damage, accidental damage, and vandalism among others.[14][15] The On-Guard extended warranty can be purchased along with the device for an additional fee that entitles the user of the handset to free service and repairs for a period of either 12 or 24 months, depending on the warranty plan purchased.[16]
Release and distribution[edit]
Invite system[edit]
As with all other OnePlus phones released thus far, the OnePlus X requires an invite to be purchased.[17] Despite heavy criticism over the invite system, OnePlus has claimed that it is necessary practice for the startup to manage product flow and prevent overstocks from occurring, hence the implementation of the system on all its phones.[18]
Open sales[edit]
OnePlus has announced open sales for the OnePlus X after the initial month of sales that is strictly invite based.[19] Open sales will allow buyers to purchase the phone without an invite, and will be held every week on specific dates of December that are yet to be announced by OnePlus.[20] Open sales are also held in OnePlus' pop-up events in various cities held by company employees.[21] The company is also keeping Open Sales events every Tuesday in India, while keeping invite-system intact for rest of week days. Starting from 28 January 2016 it is completely invite free.[22]
Specifications[edit]
Design and hardware[edit]
The design of the OnePlus X features a smooth glass back with textured aluminium bezels which provides a good grip on the frame of the phone.[23] Both versions of the phone feature a dark glass back reminiscent of the glass back on the iPhone 4.[24] The phone inherits the alert slider first found on theOnePlus 2 which toggles between All, Priority Only and No notifications.[25] Due to the smaller form factor of the phone the internal battery is smaller compared to the OnePlus 2, coming in at 2,525 mAh compared to the latter's 3,300 mAh battery.[26] The lower price of the phone also meant that the fingerprint sensor previously present on the OnePlus 2 has been omitted along with other features like optical image stabilization and swappable back covers. Oddly, the USB Type-C connector of the OnePlus 2 has not been carried over to the OnePlus X and the phone uses the micro USB instead of the newer USB-Type C connector.[27] OnePlus has released textured back covers for the OnePlus X which resemble the styles of the swappable StyleSwap Covers for the OnePlus 2 with Bamboo, Rosewood, Black Apricot and Kevlar backs.[28]
With a 5" AMOLED 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, the OnePlus X is a departure from both the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 which featured a larger 5.5" LCD panel with the same resolution.[29] Despite the smaller form factor, users still have the option of choosing between hardware capacitive buttons or on-screen customisable navigation "soft keys".[30]
The OnePlus X is available in Onyx and Ceramic versions with each sporting different unique backs and a slightly different colour.[31] Manufacturing the ceramic version requires a process which is 25 days long and the company has stated that it will have a limited run of only 10,000 units.[32] The ceramic version is slightly heavier at 160 g (5.6 oz) and it will only be sold in Europe and India as announced by OnePlus.[33] Despite being a design-centric device as advertised by OnePlus, the phone packs quite a punch with relatively powerful internal specs which is similar to last generation flagships like the OnePlus One and LG G3.[34] The OnePlus X features 16 GB of internal storage with 3 GB LPDDR3RAM and the handset is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 32-bit quad-core chip clocked at 2.3 GHz with an Adreno 330 graphics processor.[35]
Other features include FM radio and a dual SIM (nano SIM) card layout with 4G LTE compatibility which can be swapped to include a micro SD storage card in the 2nd SIM slot for the adding of removable storage.[36] As with the OnePlus 2, NFC is not available on the OnePlus X.[37]
The OnePlus X has been tested on the AnTuTu Benchmark test and it yields a score of 45000+ points, on par with similar devices powered by the Snapdragon 801 quad coreprocessor.[38]
Unlike the earlier OnePlus 2, since OnePlus X does not support any 700 MHz LTE frequency bands (namely, LTE Band 12 and 17, used by T-Mobile US and AT&T LTE networks, respectively), rural and indoor reception may be poor in the United States, especially in the case of T-Mobile US network, where LTE Band 12 is the only sub-1 GHz coverage option.
OnePlus X was also released in White (Champagne Edition) for other countries like India, after keeping it exclusive for home country China. Other than color difference, there isn't any difference in the device.
Software[edit]
