OnePlus X in Champagne Gold heads west next week

The smaller, more affordable OnePlus X is sold in China with an extra color option that nowhere else in the world has access to. But that will change on December 22 when OnePlus brings the Champagne Gold color option to western markets, meaning that people are no longer forced to choose the standard Onyx model.

The Champagne Gold model of the OnePlus X has white front and back panels while putting the signature color on the trim. That back panel, though, can be changed from glass to a premium ceramic for a few more dollars.

Unlike the flagship OnePlus 2, OnePlus is still requiring invites to purchase the OnePlus X. So try and get your hands on an invite soon if you plan on purchasing the OnePlus X in Champagne Gold. Although the phone does look great in Champagne Gold, I’d like to remind everyone that using it here in the United States isn’t a particularly seamless experience. It’s definitely something to consider when spending $249.
