OnePlus sets release date for X smartphone

PanARMENIAN.Net - Following leaks last month, Chinese smartphone upstart OnePlus just put out a teaser Wednesday, October 14, for the rumored OnePlus X — its second device of the year — alongside an October 29 date for a London event when we can expect to see the device unveiled, VentureBeat reports.

Based on the earlier leaks, it’s possible we may see a phablet device (likely with a 5.5-inch display) priced around $250 with a fingerprint scanner and dual-cameras round back. The Shenzhen-based company took the wraps off its $389 second-generation flagship device, the OnePlus 2, back in July. Chief executive Carl Pei already confirmed there would be a second device launched this year.

For now, you can check out our thoughts after spending a month with the OnePlus 2 here, as well as our initial review of the phone here. As to the OnePlus X, we’ll need to wait a few more weeks to finally learn what the disruptive smartphone maker from the Orient has up its sleeves.
