OnePlus X versus its more direct, comparative competition

OnePlus X front

As we have indicated en Android Ayuda el OnePlus X It is a totally official Android terminal, and it comes with some interesting characteristics that make it an internal option in the market, although it has really important competition in the mid-range segment it is targeting. Therefore, it is a good idea to know how this model is compared to its “rivals” today.

I wanted to "play" with the chosen models (I'm sure not all that are, but they are all) so that you can see how OnePlus has moved when choosing the components that make up the new phone. The fact is that they have been selected very varied options, but in all cases there is a common element: the processor is from Qualcomm, since we believe that it is the most successful taking into account the Snapdragon 801 that is from the game in the OnePlus X.

The design cannot be evaluated in a table (which we leave at the end of the article, and which I hope you find useful), but except for the HTC One A9 of which recently o, little are able to offer what has been known in the model of the Asian company: finished in metal, something that until not long ago was banned for mid-range models and that, as you can see, this has ceased to be So. By the way, the Motorola model chosen (which is not the Moto G, since it falls a bit short for the OnePlus X), is not exactly the one that offers the best options in this section, since it is even surpassed by the BO Aquaris M5.

Differences in hardware

Where the OnePlus X stands out compared to its rivals in the market is in the RAM, since this model integrates 3 GB, a brand that only the Xiaomi Mi 4 is capable of reaching and shows that this model is still very much in force. As far as the processor is concerned, the choice of Snapdragon 801 It is not a mistake at all, this is well shared and has nothing to envy to Qualcomm's own 6XX range, so despite the possible surprise, it is not badly “played”.

Front of HTC One A9

The new OnePlus X complies in the section of the camera, with capable sensors, but it must be said that on the front the Motorola Moto X Play has no rival at least in terms of resolution. Of course, you would have to check the photos that are obtained with the new model to see if it is capable of offering what the HTC One A9 is capable of doing, which behaves excellently.

Other small details to assess are that the battery charge of the OnePlus X is really good considering that its thickness is only 6,9 mm (the best of all, long). By the way, OnePlus has also done a great job in terms of weight, since this phone is the lightest, so it comes to correct what many criticize of the 5,5-inch model from the same manufacturer. Of course, the absence of NFC is something that should be valued.

Conclusion and table

The truth is that on paper, and without testing the OnePlus X, it does not seem that it is a bad model for the mid-range market, but there is something that must be considered: the invitation system, so it is not as simple as going to a store or website and getting it, as is the case with the rest of the models compared. In addition, there is not a very large difference in hardware with respect to the price offered by the OnePlus X as it happens in the high range and, this, can be a small handicap.
