It seems that OnePlus is stepping up its game, as a new device which it is purportedly working on has emerged on Geekbench, showing off powerful specs.
The leaked data also implies that a possible OnePlus 2 Mini is under way, touting a less than 5-inch display, probably designed for those who think that screens should not be necessarily big.
Specs-wise, benchmark results for this upcoming OnePlus handset reveal a 4.6-inch 1080p screen, 64 GB of storage, 4 GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 810 processor and Adreno 430 GPU. OnePlus is packing in a 13-megapixel rear shooter and 5-megapixel front-facing camera. To top it all off, this handset runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
However, the phone does not have NFC and HDR capabilities. The OnePlus 2 similarly does not come with NFC.
These specs seem to be similar to those of the OnePlus 2, except for the size of the display. The OnePlus 2 features a 5.5-inch screen.
At any rate, the leaked data gives us the impression that OnePlus might be on the right track, considering there is a good number of consumers who are interested in smartphones with displays less than five inches, such as Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s (which boast 4.7-inch displays). Some notable Android rivals include the Moto E 2015 and Sony Xperia Z5 Compact.
There is also little doubt any upcoming OnePlus phone is going to sweep up the market once it's released, since the startup has a big international fan base.
It's not clear, though, when the company will announce the rumored new handset, but we're guessing the announcement is imminent.
Not much is known yet about this new handset, since this story is only based on leaked Geekbench data. As such, it's smart to take it with a grain of salt.
In the meantime, leaked OnePlus 3 renders earlier suggested that the phone will be equipped with a 1080p display and Snapdragon 820.
