OnePlus X Now Available In The USA and Canada With An Invite

The Onyx variant OnePlus X is priced at Rs. 16,999, while the Ceramic version is priced much higher at Rs. 22,999.

For those looking at purchasing it without an invite, the phone has been on sale via pop-up events in a number of cities across the globe such as Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, Hong Kong and Los Angeles.

Previously, if you wanted to fix your OnePlus device, you had to ship it back to China, but now that the company is pairing with a USA company to handle repairs, the turnaround for Return Merchandise Authorizations (RMA) and repairs should be much quicker. Interesting, the device comes with an alert slider on the left-hand side, similar to the OnePlus 2. We need to remind you that this has lower specs than the OnePlus 2 flagship.

In the camera department, both the OnePlus X and the OnePlus One feature a 13 MP rear sensor. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset at at clock speed of a quad-core 2.3GHz processor along with Adreno 330 GPU, paired with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM.

It’s unclear if following the first run of the OnePlus X future devices will feature different material builds. Although, do make a note that OnePlus X camera comes with large 8MP module on the front, which is larger than 5MP module on OnePlus 2. For larger display and battery, the OnePlus X is a good option. The camera on the X also has phase detection autofocus that according to the company can focus on anything in under a second.

Talking of connectivity, the OnePlus X still lacks NFC that is present in the Oneplus One.

At the price of Rs. 16,999 for the Onyx variant, the smartphone is attracting many OnePlus One fans. Although, there is a catch, the SIM slot that comes in the OPX is hybrid, which means you can either use both Nano SIMs or use one SIM and a microSD card.
