OnePlus has just teased a special event taking place at CES next year. The company has never been a part of CES till now, so it makes this special event their CES debut. CES is one of the biggest technology trade shows in the world, so for them to want to debut something there now must mean they’ve got something interesting to reveal this time.

Now, the teaser doesn’t really have much information on it. There’s the ”OnePlus Special Event” headline, the dates of their CES display (January 7-10) and the name of the venue. Nothing here really hints at any specific product, so it’s unclear what the company has in store. Even the type of event isn’t clear, it might not even be a conference for all we know.

It’s a little too soon for the OnePlus 8 and 8T, as the mainline series is traditionally launched in May or June, while the T series tends to drop in September to November. It also seems far too soon for a refreshed OnePlus TV series though, as its first range launched in September.

One possibility is that we’re looking at the OnePlus 8 Lite, which was leaked earlier this month. The timing of the announcement fits really well, and a new device is something worth hyping. The teaser also features shades of orange, brown, and yellow, which may be a reference to the company’s line of McLaren special edition devices, though we doubt it.

OnePlus does have a history of hyping announcements in bits and pieces. Therefore, it’s likely we’ll hear more from the manufacturer as we inch closer to CES 2020.
