A few hours back, OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu kind of confirmed the existence of the OnePlus X. Now, a new model model has just passed China’s 3C certification website, and it could very well be the OnePlus X.

The model OnePlus E1001 was spotted on the Chinese Quality Certification website. While the certification doesn’t reveal the name or the specs of the device, considering its timing, we expect this to be the OnePlus X model.

Things are really getting interesting this month. After the CEO’s teaser about a device named X, Oneplus also started sending out invites to the media in India for an event called “the Next Big Step”. This particular event will be hosted by the company’s GM in India, Vikas Agarwall as well as co-founder Pete Lau. So, it could be for the launch of the OnePlus X.

Considering these hints, we could very well see the OnePlus X in the next few days, most likely at the event on October 12.

As for the specs, we can expect the phone to feature a 5-inch display and Snapdragon 801 / Helio X10 chipset on board. The pricing is expected to be around $249. We will keep you guys updated with more information in the coming days. So stay tuned.

Late September, our factory sources had revealed that OnePlus was going to release its second smartphone with the name OnePlus X. They also said that the company will release the phone as soon as October. Now, it looks like, our sources were bang on target as OnePlus is slowly revealing more details about a launch event this month.

First of all, OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu posted a new teaser on his Weibo page late last night. And guess what, it shows the letter X. So, we have very good reason to believe that the name OnePlus X is almost confirmed.

Secondly, OnePlus has started sending out invites for a new launch event in India next week on October 12. According to the invite, the event will be hosted by the co-founder Pete Lau and Vikas Agarwall (GM of OnePlus India). The event is titled, “The Next Big Step” and is most likely for the launch of the OnePlus X handset.

Although the company is yet to directly confirm the launch of OnePlus X at the event, given the timing of these teaser and the event, there is a very good chance that we will see the OnePlus X pretty soon.

As for the specs, our sources had revealed that the OnePlus X will come with 5-inch display and Snapdragon 801 chipset. While recent rumors have also said that the display will be of 5-inches, they claim that the chipset inside will be the new Helio X10 MT6795. We will have to wait and see which one turns out to be true. As for the pricing, you can expect the phone to retail somewhere around $249.

Anyways, since the event is only about a week away, we expect more information about the handset (hopefully pictures too) pretty soon. So, stay tuned.

Even though the OnePlus 2 is still not readily available for purchase to the customers, rumors about the new model, namely OnePlus X have already started to come. OnePlus CEO, Carl Pei had confirmed earlier that the company would release another device before the end of the year. Now, our factory sources reveal a few more details about this upcoming OnePlus X.

First of all, OnePlus is said to have redesigned the new OnePlus X to make it a bit more beautiful in appearance. To be honest, not everyone liked the new OnePlus 2’s design. However, the renders that we have seen of the OnePlus X with the dual cameras do look promising. Its a lot more premium looking than the current OnePlus 2. Also it comes with a fingerprint sensor at the back. While we are not sure whether the above renders will be used as the final design, our sources confirm that the upcoming OnePlus X will feature a new design.

Another thing revealed by our sources is that the phone will feature a 5-inch display. Also, under the hood, the OnePlus X will come with Snapdragon 801 chipset. Yes, it looks like the company is planning to put this year old flagship chipset inside its new device, which is exactly what ZUK did with its first smartphone. This should help the company cut down the costs and price it aggressively for the budget mid-range market. As for the pricing, earlier rumors indicate it should be around $249.

Finally, we may see the OnePlus X as soon as next month, i.e. October. This once again coincides with the information leaked earlier. So, we may really see the device launch pretty soon.

This news comes from credible factory sources, so its likely that all they will turn out to be true. Hopefully, in the coming days, we will get more information about the new OnePlus X. So, stay tuned for more details.
