The OnePlus X was an Android smartphone developed by OnePlus. It was released on 29 October 2015, three months after the release of the company's second flagship, the OnePlus 2 on July 27.

The OnePlus X was available in three design options: Onyx (black), Champagne (white), and a limited edition Ceramic version. OnePlus has stated that the Ceramic OnePlus X will only be released in Europe with a limited run of only 10,000 units. The OnePlus X originally required an invite to be purchased, but as of January 28, 2016, invites are no longer necessary to purchase the device.

Shortly after the launch of the OnePlus 2, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei hinted at the launch of a new device at the end of 2015 when interviewed at one of the popup events in New York City. After months of speculation by the media, the OnePlus X was officially unveiled on 29 October 2015. It was subsequently praised by reviewers and critics alike for its elegant looking design and high quality build. The price of the phone was announced at $249 for the unlocked version, making it a relatively affordable phone. The Ceramic version of the phone comes in at $399 and features a ceramic back baked over a 25-day manufacturing process, which OnePlus claims was the first of its kind for a smartphone material.

Four days after the release of the phone, the company also released an extended warranty programme called On-Guard for users in Europe and India. It gives new OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X users coverage from device breakage, liquid damage, accidental damage, and vandalism among others. The On-Guard extended warranty can be purchased along with the device for an additional fee that entitles the user of the handset to free service and repairs for a period of either 12 or 24 months, depending on the warranty plan purchased.

As with all other OnePlus phones released thus far, the OnePlus X required an invite to be purchased. Despite heavy criticism over the invite system, OnePlus has claimed that it was necessary practice for the startup to manage product flow and prevent overstocks from occurring, hence the implementation of the system on all its phones.

OnePlus has announced open sales for the OnePlus X after the initial month of sales that was strictly invite based. Open sales will allow buyers to purchase the phone without an invite, and will be held every week on specific dates of December that are yet to be announced by OnePlus. Open sales are also held in OnePlus' pop-up events in various cities held by company employees. The company was also keeping Open Sales events every Tuesday in India, while keeping invite-system intact for rest of week days. Starting from 28 January 2016 it was completely invite free.
