Mumbai: Chinese Smartphone manufacturer OnePlus recently launched its latest device—the OnePlus X. The handset is priced at Rs 16,999 and is currently available on Amazon’s website via invite.
The OnePlus X sports an elegant look on the outside and is designed sleekly. Unfortunately, the OnePlus X, like most other modern-day handsets, does not come with a removable back panel. This can lead to numerous problems when you want to replace or repair a single component.

However, there is no need to worry, as there is a way to open the OnePlus X to remove and replace damaged components. A video put up on YouTube by JerryRigEverything demonstrates ways to repair/ replace screen, battery, and charging port.

Moving on to the second part: durability. The OnePlus X is a fairly low-budget smartphone when compared to the likes of other smartphones like the Nexus, HTC, or Samsung. As a result, no one would expect the OnePlus to even distantly replicate the toughness of other high-priced devices in the market.
However, another YouTube video by JerryRigEverything points out that the OnePlus X is a lot tougher than you can imagine.
