It's worth pointing out that the OnePlus X sold by Geekbuying and others on Ebay is the Chinese model, and does not support the 800MHz 4G LTE band. This means O2, Tesco & Giffgaff users will not be able to connect to a 4G LTE network using this model. The 1800- and 2600MHz bands are supported, so users of other UK mobile networks should be fine.

malky39 to Joshm74

I was going to go for the mi4c, but full uk4g bands, European support if something went wrong, and the supposed stong build quality of the one plus x won it for me

OnePlus X seems to have a lot better spec compared to the OnePlus Two, however OnePlus Two has a 3300mAh battery whilst OnePlus X has a 2525mAh one. It's obviously not as big as a OnePlus Two, but a lot better for those who find 5 inch phone enough these days.

How does it have better specs than one plus 2? It's their flagship phone lol.

No it doesn't. The oneplus 2 is the superior phone.

I did look at it briefly but its just a little over my budget, although I like the fact that it'll be getting the Marshmallow update.

The 800 MHz band only matters to brands using O2?

Did a 4G scan with my mobile last week and found:
O2, Vodafone and 3 at 800 MHz
EE running at 1800 MHz
No network was running 2600 MHz

IMO 800MHz is a must for 4G in the UK

Is this the ceramic version? And would this come with a UK or EU plug? Thanks

smigol

6 Nov 15 #15

I have no idea, you'll need to contact the seller directly.

dreamypuma

6 Nov 15 #16

I doubt you'd get a ceramic version at that price, let alone in white.

From what I can gather, the white is exclusive to China and the ceramic (exclusive) was sold out yesterday on the UK Oneplus site.

Ordered my Onyx yesterday from Oneplus, should be delivered in about 10days. Would love to get my mits on a white UK spec unit for the wife, but doubt that's going to happen. She may need to settle for Onyx too.

Apart from the the missing 4G bands, won't these also have Chinese firmware?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S5 for the same price so wondering what people think of the comparison between the 2. I think i made the right choice.

StonedSte to Lanius

6 Nov 15 #40

The S5 has the same snapdragon 801, a slightly bigger screen and has a heart beat sensor. In fact the only thing the Oneplus X beats it on is the extra 1gb of ram, so yes you made the right choice :smirk:

tariq3877 to Lanius

7 Nov 15 #44

I my opinion u made the best choice. These half accessed phones are useless I happened to bought one few months ago and then realise I can't use hotspot function and unfortunately no help was found anywhere on manufacturer's site.

Where on earth did you get a S5 for sub £200? :confused:

pazuzu17

6 Nov 15 1 #18

Great phone - on paper. The reality of owning said phone is a lot less sweet. Also, any self respecting Android user wants a 'pure' Android experience...no bloatware whatsoever. Nexus 5x is the current Android King - still.

bob_regis to pazuzu17

6 Nov 15 1 #19

I agree but would miss the SD slot for Plex.

raklos to pazuzu17

Starting from £339.... Can't really compare. Pound for pound opx is one of the best

Vatman95 to pazuzu17

6 Nov 15 #27

Oxygen OS is as close enough to pure. The Nexus 5x lacks two important features of the X, dual sim and expandable storage.

sm-1991 to pazuzu17

6 Nov 15 #36

The best feature about this phone is the double SIM card slot and micro SD slot.

helllraiser to pazuzu17

22 Nov 15 #81

the new nexus is a rip off for its new price tag. any self respecting android fan will also know cyanogen or other custom ROMs fair even better than stock android. ( more features and more control) the nexus 5x was never a king. the old nexus 5 yes.

I have a Note 3 - love big screens (it's 5.7). Anyone know a decent phone with an even bigger screen?

trionkidnapper to idturner

6 Nov 15 #41

I moved from the Note 3 up to the Nexus 6. always felt a little bit of regret at having done so as I now think 5.7" was just right.

although I hated touchwhiz and had CM on the Note anyway, I wanted the new Nexus 6. never really felt like an upgrade. the new Nexus 6 however looks very nice.

lg g pro 2 and its dirt cheap and can be updated to lollypop with lg update tool on laptop.i paid 130 new.its 3gig ram.snapdragon 800 which is still very capable even now and has 5.9 inch screen full hd.serious bargain.great camera also.

But stock Android vs Touchwiz.

Looks like he made the wrong choice.

dreamypuma

7 Nov 15 #45

The S5 and OpX are aimed at two completely different audiences. The OpX focuses on a quality crafted finish, with a near stock android experience. It is fashion orientated. Whereas if I was in the market for a phone that was made of cheap plastic with bloatware and gimicks, the S5 would tick the boxes.

The OpX is not about brute power. For a fairer comparison, to the S5, look at the Op2

The scratchy 4G compatibility is dealer breaker for me.

Once you've used 4G, you'll never want to go back to anything else.

martyn_3000 to jeffjack

7 Nov 15 #55

On a £200 phone... It features a premium build, fast processor and great screen - It's amazing they have been able to do all that for only £200.

Adding a finger print scanner would of bumped the price up close to the OnePlus 2, which isn't where they want this phone to be.

bob_regis

7 Nov 15 #53

Got one with an invite. Anyone know where to get screen protectors and covers from?

martyn_3000

7 Nov 15 #54

I'm pretty sure it's only the EE and 3 that will be able to take advantage of 4G on this phone.

O2 and Vodafone share 4G masts at the moment, and I'm sure they are only using 800mhz.

StonedSte

7 Nov 15 1 #56

I think you might have had a bang on the head mate as 99% of people would buy a Android phone based on hardware specifications and not what GUI skin has been applied to it.

hawkwind

sorry but the invite has gone. :disappointed:

TypicalAsianFindingDeals

7 Nov 15 #58

Erm no... people don't buy smartphones based on specs. They buy it for the experience, how well the hardware and software go well together. That's why the iPhone sells so well.

So based on the experience of the smartphone, the Oneplus X is much better than the S5.

mrsmalls

7 Nov 15 #59

I do like this phone and the price. Mainly for it's dual sim capabilities. But it's dual standby not dual active :disappointed: Does anyone know of any up to date phones that are dual active ?

finbaar

8 Nov 15 #60

Completely wrong. Most serious Android users WILL have their favourite skew, be it touchwiz , sense, cm, Nexus etc. No way would I own a Samsung again. The S5 is still a good phone for some but when compared to the OPX it is old and probably won't be supported past 6.0.

finbaar

8 Nov 15 #61

You are right. EE and 3 use B3 VF and O2 use B20. 3 have started rolling out B20 for very limited VOLTE (not data) and all 4 networks have B20 spectrum that they will use eventually. But for now if you are on 3 or ee then B3 is enough. Where I live the only LTE we have is ee B3 anyway and I am on 3, so it's theoretical for me (until I make a trip into the civilised world)

Paradroid888

8 Nov 15 1 #63

This is an awesome piece of hardware, but I'd recommend anyone thinking of buying takes a look at the oneplus support forums. The software side isn't looking that clever. A few complaints about OxygenOS bugs and lack of updates for the Oneplus One which is only last years model. Moto X Play might be a better bet

deathtrap3000

8 Nov 15 1 #64

It says the SD card uses the sim2 slot. Does that mean its either dual sim or expandable memory?? Or will both the sim card and memory card fit in the slot at the same time??

dealmeup to deathtrap3000

8 Nov 15 #65

Either 2 sims or one sim + SD card.

doctor_vadgers

8 Nov 15 1 #66

Be aware that there is an issue on the OnePlus X at the moment with the SD card access not working properly. 'should' be only a software fix whenever OP get round to releasing it.

Set mine up this morning (I got mine through an invite).

Initial reactions - had to reboot twice just for it to recognise my Wifi network.
Also Play store kept crashing so had to start all over.
Annoyingly the hardware buttons for home/back etc are not lit which means I have gone back to using the software buttons.

Very smooth and fast - although I am hardly a poweruser.

I have come from a HTC One M8 and this one does feel "better".

Any questions please ask away.

Strange thing I have noticed...

If I hold the phone in landscape mode with the power button on the bottom I get a few annoying pixels when watching movies on Netflix on the left hand side of the screen (about a 1/3 of the way in). If I flip the phone with the power button on the top this completely goes away.

Hmmm...strange.

Plus SD Cards do not work (yet)!
