OnePlus announces two variants of OnePlus X

OnePlus today announced the new OnePlus X, a handset that emphasises design over specs. The handset will be available in two variants, one with a sheet of glass on the back and one with a ceramic backing.

The glass backed version will retail for $249 or £199 and will be available from November 5th. The ceramic version will cost £269 and will be released on November 24th. The ceramic handset is the more exclusive of the two; just 10,000 handsets are being manufactured, and it won’t even be released in the U.S.

Both models are 140 x 69 x 6.9 mm, but they differ in weight. The onyx glass version weighs 138g, while the ceramic one is a little more hefty at 160g.
