OnePlus announcing new smartphone October 29th

OnePlus has been busy teasing a new device on social media today which will be officially revealed at the end of October.

OnePlus has today announced via their Twitter account that they will be revealing a new device on October 29th. The picture shows an illuminated ‘x’ symbol, making it pretty certain that the device will be the rumoured OnePlus X handset. The smartphone is expected to be a cheaper, more mid-range value handset that includes a lesser 1.9GHz processor (either the Snapdragon 801 or a MediaTek chip) and smaller 5.0-inch screen. It’s rumoured to include a dual-rear camera and will retain the fingerprint sensor found on the larger OnePlus 2. This means that although it’s expected to be pitched as the cheaper handset, it may still have pretty impressive performance relative to price.

Either way, we’ll know more very soon.
