OnePlus X Launched in India @ 16,999
OnePlus has launched its third smartphone - the OnePlus X. Meant to be the company's affordable offering, priced below its 'flagship killer' products, the OnePlus One, and OnePlus 2.
The OnePlus X, running OxygenOS based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Amoled display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC with 3GB of RAM and a 2525mAh battery. On the camera front, you get a 13MP rear shooter and an 8MP front facing camera.
As far as specs go, they’re impressive. Add in a metal framing, dual SIM support as well as mircoSD card support, the phone a no brainer right? Unfortunately things aren’t that simple. The phone is clearly competing with Xiaomi Mi 4 which offers a similar spec sheet at Rs 14,999, although with a 64GB storage option as opposed to 16GB storage on the OnePlus X and a higher capacity battery.
Priced at Rs. 16,999 for the Onyx variant, and Rs. 22,999 for the limited edition Ceramic variant, the dual-SIM smartphone will be made available via the company's much-criticised invite system, and will go on sale via Amazon India. It will release on November 5 for the Onyx variant, and November 24 for the Ceramic variant. OnePlus specified only 10,000 units of the Ceramic variant will be made available globally
The Ceramic variant weighs in at 160 grams, while the Onyx variant weighs 138 grams. Connectivity options include support for Indian 4G LTE bands, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, FM radio, and Micro-USB. The company is touting the OnePlus Radio app, as well as its new OnePlus Icon in-ear headphones.
