oneplus has decided to follow in the footsteps of Apple Google and Samsung and really it's a smaller less powerful version of its flagship smartphone the oneplus 2 released first in August is 5.5 inches and comes packed to the brim with the most up to date components the oneplus X on the other hand is slightly less powerful but it's supposed to be a design for a smart phone this is the oneplus X onyx what really sets it apart is its design it feels really great in the hand from the the display to the glass backplate which is a first for oneplus all the way just to kind of the sides and how it feels in your hand is really great comes with this new slider on the side where you can go from having no notifications a mute button to priority only to having basically all notifications opening the flood the oneplus X has a more expensive variation called the oneplus X ceramic version the ceramic version they're really touting as a design first smartphone and they say they imported zirconia Sam from Australia to make the ceramic backing you can tell us a little bit different than the normal one plus X onyx version because have a different hue it's a little bit more reflective and it feels nicer in the hand it's heavy in material in a way that only the iPhone 6s really feels like the oneplus X ceramic version doesn't offer anything more than the the Onyx version save for a slightly different edges the different backplate but kind of the haft when you hold it it's really being built as a device that you'd pay extra for just because it has a nicer design for the first time the oneplus X will have expandable storage it's been a complaint for oneplus devices in the past and something they've addressed with this new device it's a nano SIM slot right here but it will also take a micro SD card up to 128 gigabytes they're saying you can also use that extra micro SD slot as another nano SIM slot meaning if you want to phone numbers if you're that kind of person that has two different phone numbers you can put two different nano SIM cards in here but most people will probably want the expandable storage so that's a good plus if you know you didn't want to spend a little bit extra for the 64 gigabyte version of the phone the oneplus X has a 5-inch AMOLED display on the component side the oneplus X comes with a Snapdragon 801 processor and three gigabytes of memory that puts it slightly lower than the oneplus 2 which came with a Snapdragon 810 and four gigabytes of RAM but for most smartphone users it won't matter that much one big change with the oneplus X is that the invite system they're known for it's now going to only be one month long so after one month they're going to have certain windows of time when you can order the phone and get it immediately the oneplus x onyx version will be available in the u.s. starting November 19th for 249 USD the ceramic version is only going to be available in Europe and they don't have a release date for that yet they say before Christmas and it's going to cost you 379 euros the company won't yet say whether or not the ceramic version will be available anywhere else outside of Europe one of the biggest questions with oneplus is will it ship on time the oneplus 2 was delayed for a few weeks and the invite system has always been a little wonky it leaves a lot of consumers angry because they can't get their hands on the phone and they wait eagerly for a chance to preorder it and then they miss that window
