OnePlus X is not a middle range smartphone insisted by the company's co-founder Carl Pei saying, "We still don't have a good way of categorizing this type of device," he told The Verge.
"We're never going to make a phone for $100 or $150. Our goal is always to make really great products, and at that price point it's not possible. You can't afford to make it using these materials," he added.
