Flashback: OnePlus X marks the spot where the Nord found treasure

26 July 2020
The X is OnePlus' smallest and cheapest - but still very capable - phone. It pioneered AMOLED screens and glass backs to the company.

Sort by:

And they were both terrible with loads of corners cut.

    JDK, 26 Jul 2020Wait, was the galaxy s5 and the oneplus X released at the s... moreThe X was actually released a couple of months after tje S6. But I get why you got confused, Qualcomm announced the 810 just 2 months after the 801 was released, they were shaken by the apple a7 relea

      What I like about the X is that it has FM Radio, and I always listened to it a lot even to this day. It's just a shame that the new Nord doesn't have that feature. But since the Nord doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack to act as an antenna in the first place, I guess that's not really a surprise.

        Oneplus has been such a great, what a shame they have turned into such scammers this year the 1000holed 8pro with green tint. The 765gpu 450euros nord and yet another airpods copycat that only update with oneplus phones.
        After losing Huawei from Trump decision, Sammy for their greedines to only sell the inferior exynos chips on Europe, now we are losing oneplus too as an option...

            CompactPhones5ever, 26 Jul 2020You're right on the release date difference but the po... moreYeah. Although, the oneplus nord technically has a 5G capable snapdragon 845, which was released 2.5 years ago. The oneplus X used the chipset released at janurary 2014, released at october 15th, or 2 years ago.

              JDK, 26 Jul 2020Wait, was the galaxy s5 and the oneplus X released at the s... moreYou're right on the release date difference but the point is exactly the same, OnePlus X had absolutely insane price/performance ratio (virtually unrivaled at its time) while Nord is "alright" deal at best. The main difference between X and Nord was that while OnePlus X focused on making the best product possible for the lowest possible price, Nord focuses on advertising. Different categories in principle, can't be compared.

                Dometalican, 26 Jul 2020MicroSD card, headphone jack, and no dumb punch hole for st... moreYeah,and the NORD has an outdated design like the double punch hole on the screen.

                  Or, was the galaxy s5 released last year and the year the oneplus X was released its price stayed the same or was lowered?

                    JDK, 26 Jul 2020I just have a question, how exactly do you think that onepl... moreWhat guy before me said but mostly the very basic fact that OnePlus X had a flagship CPU for lower midrange price while Nord has a midrange CPU for upper midrange price.

                    In other words: OnePlus X cost 250$ and had a chip that could be found at phones that cost 700$ (e.g. Galaxy S5). Nord is 449$ and has a chip that can be found at phones that cost 230$ (iQOO Z1x). This fact itself disqualifies these two phones from even comparing.

                      All this talk is too early... If Nord don't screw up on the update support that already a trader (better) vs OnePlus X. No point on this hardware spec talk when is unusable.

                            The oneplus Nord will be a failure due to wrong pricing,they should have priced it 100$ less...

                              One plus x was the best android phone design, sadly the software had a lot of errors,

                                I find it offensive to even remotely compare the glorious OnePlus X to the pathetic Nord.

                                    Had one. Didn’t liked. Was so warm all the time. Was very happy when I sold it. :)
