*Design*
The OnePlus X has smaller profile than other OnePlus’s two models, and a slightly different design to boot. It’s weight around 138g and 6.9mm thick, so it’s sufficiently lightweight and compact . Encased in metal edges, which sounds like a fantastic combination on paper and back of the phone is made of glass.
*Hardware*
5-inch Full HD AMOLED display(1920×1080), 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot, CPU Snapdragon 801, GPU Adreno 330, 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera, 2525 mAh non-removable battery, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, and Bluetooth 4.0.
*Software*
Runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with OxygenOS. Most people don’t need to know how an outdated Android 5.1 runs and works, but if you need a recap, it’s fast. There’s Material Design everywhere, and OnePlus didn’t really change anything, especially in the aesthetics department.
*Battery*
Battery life on the OnePlus X is also fairly middle-of-the-road. With medium usage I managed to squeak out an entire workday on a single charge. You won’t be going multiple days with the OnePlus X, but if you’re used to charging the device at night and keep a spare charger around during the day for emergencies, you’d manage with its smaller battery.
*Performance*
With its 3GB of RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 to push only a Full HD(1920×1080) display, the OnePlus X performs as well as you’d expect. Switching between apps, web browsing, playing music and heavy multitasking are all a breeze for the phone, and gaming performance is right where you want it. OnePlus’s OxygenOS doesn’t layer much else on top of the software, so you’re also dealing with a near stock version of Android, which uses very few system resources.
