OnePlus is launching a new smartphone -- the OnePlus X -- on Oct. 29.
While the company tried to be cryptic -- its recent tweet announcing a London event on that date has very little info besides an image of a large "X" -- it's not that hard to put the pieces together. The company CEO Carl Pei announced in August a third phone would be launched this year, and a post on OnePlus' Chinese blog straight out announced that a phone under the name OnePlus X is indeed coming Oct. 29.
While no details about the OnePlus X have officially been released, a recent FCC filing, spotted by The Verge, showed a 5.5-inch phone that looks like a combination of iPhone's current and previous designs -- not very original, but pretty likable in our opinion.
Not all specifications were revealed, but we know that that device comes with a 1.9GHz processor, and (unsurprisingly) supports LTE, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi and FM radios.

In an earlier tweet with the same #PowerfullyBeautiful hashtag, OnePlus posted an image that reveals even less -- a piece of crumpled paper, perhaps -- with the message "More than meets the eye." We certainly hope so.

OnePlus' mission is simple enough: The company aims to offer premium smartphones at a reasonable price. While its last smartphone, the OnePlus 2, is a solid device, shipping delays have somewhat marred the company's image, prompting Pei to publicly apologize to customers in September.
