I'd have a Oneplus X over the 5X and 6P over the Oneplus 2. So all depends on how much you're happy to spend.

Completely different price ranges. OPX is amazing for under €300, if you have the funds for a nexus6 or OP2 go for them

One last question. Do you have to get it delivered to parcel motel?

I signed up for a new account last Thursday night about 12, had my invite by Sunday evening order placed Monday morning, phone in my hands yesterday afternoon.

Coming from a cracked screen nexus 4 were I had to rotate the phone to do anything on it I'm loving the new phone, still do the rotating here and there lol.

Dropped it already thankfully no damage any ideas on a case that feels grippy in your hand? The gel case that came with it is as smooth as the phone, not good.

Any idea how to remove the Google Search bar from the home screen…it's wrecking my buzz!

I went to Settings-Apps and just disabled the Google App. No other repercussions to disabling this as far as I can see. Any other bugs I mentioned previously were occurring before I disabled it.

Karbon case is decent, almost like a rubber feel to the finish so plenty of grip. It's pricey though with shipping etc!

Any update on the actual phone update? Anyone got it OTA? Reading reports on the oneplus forums that the update fixes the SDcard problem but creates others!

I thought the same regarding the flash. There is a flash option but it disappears when beauty or hdr mode are on, you just need to unclick whichever button is clicked and the flash option reappears

Ill try that, I had a feeling something was blocking it, with those modes on it may explain the soft very processed look so possibly a case of my bad.
Edit - thanks a mil that was it. The image quality is better also...thankfully I had my slr with me also for the important ones!

Its still not the best camera shooter I've used...

I installed the update via stock recovery mode an SD worked straight away. I haven't had any real issues since.

Just interested to hear what people think of their Oneplus X's ?! I've had mine a week and so far would sum up as such:

Pros:

Feels nice in the hand and seems good quality.
The notification button (on/off/priority) is very handy.
Price: €300 for a 16gb phone is pretty decent I'd say.
FM radio is very handy and something I use a lot-one of the reasons I bought it.
Screen quality is very good imo.

Cons:

To my mind the on/off and volume control buttons should be the other way around. Just a small thing I'm sure I'll adjust to but it's a bit annoying.
The sound quality from the speakers is adequate but nothing special at all.
The battery seems adequate but nothing special.


I haven't really tested the camera out much but it seems about what I'd have expected from a phone in this price range. I had a Gen. 2 Moto G prior to this. The phone died after 6 months! Despite that I really loved it considering it was €180. It was a toss-up between the Gen.3 Moto G and the Oneplus X. There's no doubt the Oneplus feels a bit more premium but a bit of me is still regretting not getting the Moto G! Front-facing speakers and water-proof capacity being the obvious advantages from my view point.

Ordered mine today, can't wait to get it. Thanks everyone on here for your opinions and sharing your experience with it, it was really useful in helping to make a decision!

It's a great phone for the money, yeah it had/has a few issues but they will be ironed out with updates. I really don't think you can get a better phone for under €300

With regards to the update, a poll on the OPX forum suggests that is has been rolled out to less than 10% of owners.

I realise you can do it yourself but as I am in no rush I'll sit it out. My phone is working like a dream to be honest. I find the toggle thing a bit tricky to slide but that's about it.

I absolutely love the display.

I just got an OTA for the OS - it mentioned SD card related fixes.
I don't have one at moment to tell if its cured any problems.

Oxygen version is 2.1.3

That is interesting. There was a feeling on the forums that they'd stopped the rollout due to various issues but obviously not. I'm not using an SD card yet so I might hold off from the ota if I'm offered it.

Just got the update there, installing now

Got the update also. Can move apps to the sd card now, can also see it under the Storage setting. Don't notice any other changes.

does your phone lags when scrolling?

The phone does seem to lag a little when fast scrolling alright, but video plays OK in Chrome for me.

celticsfan

I updated just a few mins ago..green screen when watching videos on Chrome..but to me honest I don't use Chrome for watching many vids,still its poor form though from Oneplus.. Haven't used it enough yet to say if I notice any lag

Just realised that I have the green video issue, tried the video on the first page of this thread, sound OK but green video. I had tried videos on the Irish indo page and they work OK.

Trying to buy this from the IE store using Irish biling address and same shipping address, phone says in stock.

"It looks like you are on the wrong store. Please select your country store by clicking the flag in the footer and selecting your country."

Any ideas?

Thanks but thats where I was, tried it again, same thing.

I think it might be where I'm working actually, I'm guessing they use a U.S. VPN.

Will try at home.

Same thing happened to me and I've heard it happening to others, it didn't prevent me from continuing with the purchase

As in you're hoping it would be delivered to work before you leave the company?

If yes, then I reckon so!
