OnePlus Teases Dec 17 Announcement
Just hours after leaked images of a purported OnePlus One Mini began popping up all over the web, OnePlus has posted an image on its Google+ page teasing an announcement for today, December 17. But before you get too excited, we’re almost certain this wont be a new smartphone for several reasons.
When a company teases a product announcement shortly after a big leak, it usually means that leak is about to become official. But we’re not so confident with this one. Rather than a new smartphone, we’re expecting a new accessory instead perhaps an official battery case.
“Need a reason to be excited for tomorrow? We’ve got 10,000,” reads the message posted to Google+. At first, it sounds like OnePlus is teasing yet more invites to buy the OnePlus One, but the accompanying image – which you can see above – suggests new hardware is one the way. We clearly see the outline of a device with what appears to be four LED lights.
Xiaomi has a 10,400 mAh external battery pack on the market already, so this wouldn’t be a stretch in terms of capacity for such an accessory. Of course, we might be way off here and this could be something else entirely. Either way, we’ll find out today.
