If the OnePlus 3 looks like a OnePlus X, I'd buy it
I would. The way I see it, the OnePlus X has one of the most beautiful designs of a piece of consumer electronics hardware, ever. And if the OnePlus 3 followed a similar aesthetic, I’d buy it outright.
Now, that’s not to say the OnePlus 3 won't look good – or that a OnePlus X2 won’t arrive later in the year with a similar design. But leaked photos suggest the OnePlus 3 doesn't have much in common with the OnePlus X, from a physical standpoint. And it's a crying shame.
The OnePlus X is, essentially, a small piece of touch-sensitive black glass with a metal rim. But it looks like how I imagined future handhelds would look when I was a kid. It's ominous. Threatening. It could turn on you at any moment.
But it also has something of a magical appearance. Run your thumb along its side edge: it’s like stroking Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. Cradle it in your hand – you’re massaging the Mona Lisa.
The OnePlus X is right in so many ways; the hardware and price point are bang on. And if OnePlus had have managed to achieve this look with stronger internal components (even with the necessary increase in price this would require), I can’t see how it would have been anything less than ridiculously awesome.
Somewhere along the line smartphones stopped being cool, you know? But this, the OnePlus X, this handset put the X back into seXy phones. I just want to hold it and pretend its Ziggy from Quantum Leap’s evil sister. All. Day. Long.
So that’s it. When devices like the OnePlus X – or Nextbit Robin (yep, you heard me) – come along, you stand up and take notice. All signs indicate it’s the OnePlus 3 will have a new look, but I want you to picture it for a second: an ultra-thin, ultra-powerful, ceramic, OnePlus 3. That would have been really something.
That's all. I would buy that. Do you like the (rumored) OnePlus 3 design? Or would you have preferred it to look like a OnePlus X? Let me know in the comments.
No way. No how do I want a glass back on my next phone. It's not a piece of sculpture, it's a tool, a useful device, that should be designed for touching, holding, and, unfortunately, dropping. Give me some texture to reduce slipping and fingerprints anyday over a once shiny, now smudged or cracked monoslab.
Love my op2. It's the first android phone which I have kept for more than 6 months and am still in love with it. It made me forget my i6. If op3 comes with 6 gb ram then I will switch otherwise I'll stick to op2 till op2. Quality of op is top notch. Updates are a bit slow but cm13 takes care of it.
On the flipside of this, if the OneX had the innards of the 2 or the 3.... Until very recently I had still clung on to my HTC One M7. The M8, M9 and even M10 (or 10 or whatever) just seemed to get bigger and not much better. The same can be said for the OnePlus1, 2 and even 3 - they've gotten a little better but far too much bigger. In the end I plumped for the Nexus 5X
I like the design of OnePlus X and I found Moto X (1st Gen) to be the best phone for single handed usage( or maybe it fits my hands perfectly) and I also like the design of Mi 5. So, if there is a phone which is as powerful as the flagship phones and good for single handed usage I would definitely buy that. I found iPhone SE to be too small and overpriced. And, OnePlus is the one of the companies who can make a phone like that which is still affordable. I wish if they create a 5.5 inch OnePlus 3 then they also make a smaller version of it having all the same hardware not some old processor like OnePlus X. Or I should say create a iPhone SE killer with a screen size of 4.7-5 inch.
My name is Anabel Christopher from Australia and i want to use this means to announce to the whole world the existence of strong power to cast any love spell by Dr keke Odin living in USA. i have always doubted love spell because i have been scammed severally by fake spell casters. i almost lost hope until i met a friend who introduced to Dr Keke Odin and gave me his number. i then called him and explained my relationship problems to him. he assured me that he will help me cast a love spell to get my Ex Lover back and that it will take two days and after which my Ex Lover shall return back to me on his knees. i decided to try him because the source of his contact was very legit. to my greatest surprise after all the long suffering, within 48 hours of contacting Dr Keke Odin, my ex lover Christopher came back to me begging me and now we are happily married. Dr Keke Odin resides in USA but i have promise to castigate his strong powers to the whole world so people who need his help can contact him for help. he is very strict and straight forward with his work and he does not delay work. you can contact him through through the following means

That's a pretty shallow analysis and reason for phone purchasing.
Me too . , Love the OPX design.
? I assume you are on the payroll of OnePlus?
then you can perhaps explain why they send out this"beautiful" phone with a cheap looking protectie casing? this silicone shield takes away all the oh's and ah's...and transforms this X-gem into an ordinary rock..
Well! If 1+3 ever comes in One+X alike body, it must be a truely bazel free phone in order to achieve the screen size 5.5". I wouldn't buy a phone with less than 5.3" nor larger than 5.6" over size phone that is hard to fit into my pocket. 1+1 & 1+2 are the reason propel me from owning one were both had a too long body in size. Also, no NFC is another reason I shy away from.
The leaked photos of OP3 are purely ugly. While I am fine with the front, the back makes it look horrible. However there is some hope as there is no oneplus logo on the headset which suggests that it is just a prototype and not the final design. I also completely agree that OP3 should be "an ultra-thin, ultra-powerful, ceramic" phone
unfortunately the OPX is a rather poor, dated phone, I'd rather have better specs than decent looks.. (I did have 1 but got rid and got an Honor 7 instead)
I don't care too much about design. I don't like thick phones though. As long as it's well built, I'm good. Specs to me are more important and well optimized.
Oneplus X design is far better than presumed Oneplus 3... I love my Oneplus X and I decided to buy a new oneplus 3 for my wife but after seen some leaks, I'm not sure about it... design can ruin the device....
It is a beautiful and well-equipped phone
I'm waiting for the price OnePlus 3
Who cares? Really. Design is design. Cannot wait for a piece of technology where the design comes with a practical purpose. But all this noise about subjective bla bla is a tiring bla bla. IMHO. Bla.
