You can buy the OnePlus X in North America today (but only if you have an invite)

If you’re lucky enough to be the owner of a OnePlus X invite, you’ll be happy to know you can now buy one in the United States and Canada. It’s running for $249.99 before taxes, and you do get a pretty decent smartphone for that amount.

In case you missed our hands-on coverage earlier in the year, “decent” means exactly what it is: there aren’t many of the typical “bells and whistles” you’d want in a smartphone. There’s no USB Type-C or fast charging, no WiFi AC, and we still don’t have NFC despite earlier rumors suggesting OnePlus would include it.

But you do get a phone that has flagship-like power thanks to a Snapdragon 801 chipset, bloat-free OxygenOS, and the beauty to rival any smartphone on the market to date. If your budget is locked squarely at $250 then there may not be a better smartphone to get, so once you have your invite (sign up for one here if you haven’t already) be sure to place your order over at their website.
