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.

Still using my X as daily phone. Was going to get a pixel 4a but gave up waiting and pre-ordered a Nord. Would definitely have preferred a smaller phone though.

    It was the only OnePlus device I actually wanted to buy for me 😬

          hopefully they wont abandon Nord, like they abandoned the X. While Oeplus 2 enjoyed updates later, X didnt get enough.

            Here’s to hoping OnePlus releases a “Z“ for Nord With the same size body but larger display

                OnePlus used to be a trend-setter. A leader. Now it's settled by ehmm...competitors like Xiaomi. Never settle? Meh

                  The red and white background in the picture opening the article is a little tricky with the hidden symbols of crosses and svasticas.

                    OnePlus X > OnePlus Nord everyway

                      One little mistake: the oneplus 2 wasn't stuck with lolipop, but with marshmallow

                          Few points
                          1. OnePlus is bigger brand now
                          2. Marketing or hype is better now (Still OnePlus X had no competition for its price/specs. Nord has few competition but marketed better)
                          3. In India, once Jio became huge, ppl got dead cheap internet access and got into mobile reviews etc.

                              The marketing campaign made the difference

                                One of my friend is still using oneplus x because it still works fine and most importantly because of the form factor. She like the size of the phone

                                  OnePlus X had a top CPU and no software support. What a shame from Oneplus.
