The X has received generally positive reviews. We gave it a score of 73, praising its build quality and raw performance, but not enjoying its weak camera or lack of US-friendly LTE bands. Our review roughly lines up with the critics' average of 75. About the LTE bands issue: it's missing support for Band 12 and Band 17, which makes it almost entirely a 3G-only phone on AT&T and T-Mobile (and of course it doesn't support Verizon either). For those in Europe or elsewhere, though, the OnePlus X might be the compromise between price and features you've been waiting for.
