There are two smartphones: the OnePlus Onyx X and X OnePlus Ceramic. Both are almost identical, but they were made ​​using different materials. In addition, the second version is a limited edition.

Under the hood
The OnePlus X has a thickness of 6.9 mm, and is the thinnest smartphone that the company has done so far. There is a weight difference between the two versions, since the model weighs 138 grams Onyx, while the Ceramic model weighs 160 grams.

OnePlus decided to use an AMOLED screen on the X OnePlus, which measures 5 inches and full HD resolution, or 1920 x 1080 pixels.

A reliable 801 Snapdragon processor with 3 GB of memory (RAM) powers the smartphone, and there are only 16 GB of internal memory to fill you up.
