About OnePlus X
Design:
Everything starts with the selection of exquisite zirconia sourced from Australia. The 25-day process used to craft the OnePlus X Ceramic begins when the mineral is taken from its natural form and ground into finely-milled sand. From there, the zirconia sand is laid onto an individual mold, becoming a perfect canvas for the OnePlus X. It takes incredible heat to transform this canvas into a ceramic marvel. Very slowly, and very carefully, the zirconia molding makes its way through the kiln. Like pottery, the raw zirconia is baked at a temperature of 1,480ºC for 28 hours, and this process is repeated again and again until the ceramic is of the utmost quality.
