Details on the OnePlus X, OnePlus's third smartphone, may have been prematurely leaked online ahead of the company's planned unveiling, scheduled for Oct. 29.
Oppomart, an online retailer for smartphones made by Asian brands, posted specs for the OnePlus X. The product listing was quickly removed, but not before Times News took a screenshot for posterity.
According to the listing, the OnePlus X will be a 4G LTE device and feature a 5-inch 1,920 x 1,080 resolution display (full HD), a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, 16GB or 64GB of internal storage, and a 2,450 milliamp-hour battery.
The OnePlus X will also reportedly come with a 13-megapixel back camera and a 8-megapixel front-facing camera.
Naturally, it will run the company's OxygenOS, a version of Android 5.1 Lollipop. OxygenOS comes with a customizable tweaks, but for the most part is as close to stock Android.
OnePlus is desperately trying to prove itself to be a formidable Android phone maker. The company's recent OnePlus 2 was a solid phone, but it was no "flagship killer," despite all of the hype.
If the $250 pricing for the OnePlus X turn out to be accurate, OnePlus could have an instant hit on its hands, especially in many Asian markets, where budget phones are a boon.
One of the reasons why people flocked to pick up the original OnePlus One phone was primarily because it was so inexpensive. The new OnePlus 2 is great, but it also starts at a higher $329 ($379 if you want the higher storage model). The leaked specs for the OnePlus X aren't the latest, but honestly, it'll be plenty for the usual assortment of web browsing, messaging, watching videos and playing casual games.
