If you are planning to buy Oneplus X and are confused due to issues faced by existing owners, we share our experience with the phone. We have compiled a list of eight questions that potential buyers have been asking others and answer them for you. If you have any more questions, please do ask us in the comment section below.
Is the battery drain issue prominent?
We managed to get average battery life. With moderate usage, the phone lasted a day.
Does the phone have heating issues?
When playing games, we did experience the back panel heating up. But it was manageable.
Can I move apps to SD card?
We tried this with a few apps but we couldn't. We got a message that OS prevented moving of apps to the SD card.

Is the operating system full of bugs?
We didn't experience any major bugs such as the phone reboot or apps crashing.
Is camera quality a deal breaker?
For some it can be, especially those who rely a lot on their phones to click pictures.
Are colours over saturated?
No. The AMOLED display actually makes the colour stand out. But the whites have a slight bluish tinge. We wish OnePlus had provided options to adjust colour and temperature.
Are there issues with call quality?

In our usage, we didn't face any issue with the call quality.
Are the recently produced phones better than the previous ones?
We were unable to compare the quality of the phones from different production batches. But it seems unlikely that there is any difference. To fix minor software issues, OnePlus has been rolling out updates.
