OnePlus X Teased Ahead Of October 29 Launch

OnePlus X is likely to include NFC (Near Field Communication) connectivity, as well as a decent 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back along with a 5-megapixel selfie camera in the front.

While supply problems and a frustrating invite system continue to dog the otherwise decent OnePlus 2 phone, the company is ploughing ahead with another launch.

It’s official, and reservations are filling: on October 29, OnePlus will kick off a launch event for its newest handset dubbed the OnePlus X (otherwise known as the OnePlus Mini). A teaser image on the company’s blog confirms the announcement by featuring an “X” on a set of images. Chief executive Carl Pei already confirmed there would be a second device launched this year.

OnePlus was founded in 2013 upon the idea of creating industry-competitive smartphones at a much more reasonable cost than its large-brand rivals. The display is a 5-inch IPS unit with 1080 x 1920 resolution and 401 ppi.

Although we thought the OnePlus X and OnePlus Mini are the same device, rumor has it that they are entirely different devices.

It will sure be exciting to see the new smartphone and its promising capabilities so stay tuned to follow all the latest news on this and many more hot topics. The listing had not detailed the price or availability, but had apparently revealed all the key specifications of the OnePlus smartphone.

As we wrote yesterday, Synaptics’ ClearForce is a technology built into the digitizer of the smartphone.

The company is using an invite-only model to sell its entire smartphone portfolio, which presently consists of the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2.
