OnePlus today announced its third handset, the OnePlus X. The X is a stylish and yet affordable handset that runs OnePlus’ OxygenOS platform (modified Android 5.1).
The X is formed by a metal frame and two glass panels, and OnePlus plans to offer a limited ceramic variant in select markets later in the year. The X features a 5-inch full HD screen and is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
The main camera has a 13-megapixel sensor and features a 0.2-second focus speed. The front camera has an 8-megapixel sensor and Beauty Mode for improved selfies. The phone will be sold in two main radio variants, including a U.S.-specific version with support for LTE Bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8, but not Bands 12 and 17 (700MHz).
The phone goes on sale worldwide Nov. 5, and the U.S. version will follow on Nov. 19. The OnePlus X costs $249 and is sold unlocked. Consumers who want to buy a OnePlus X will need to request an invite.
Invites are required to place orders. OnePlus did not say when the OnePlus X will actually ship.
