OnePlus is going to announce a new smartphone today, say rumours.

UPDATE: OnePlus One has announced that the 16GB and 64GB variants of its OnePlus One smartphone will be available without invites forever on Amazon.in, starting 20th April.

Carl Pei, Co-founder and Head of Global, OnePlus, says: “This current shift from an invite system to a non-invite system is a big step, one from which we will learn a great deal before the OnePlus 2 launch, with invites, in the third quarter of this year”

In addition Three OnePlus One accessories, the JBL E1+ earphones, OnePlus One (White) flip-cover and the OnePlus One premium matte screen protector will be available on flat 50 percent discount until April 23rd, 2015  

OnePlus tweeted a couple of days ago that the company will announce something new on April 20th. OnePlus said in its tweet ‘From here on out, anything could happen’, which has left everyone speculating. It's rumoured that OnePlus could launch a more budget friendly smartphone today. 

The rumors around a more affordable version of the OnePlus One started making the rounds after the Ubuntu Leakster team leaked an image of a smartphone. From the leaked images the phone looks more or less like the OnePlus One but with a single LED flash. Rumors suggest the said phone could be a more affordable version of the current OnePlus One and could be called OnePlus One Lite.

OnePlus is expected to launch its OnePlus Two smartphone later this year. The current and only smartphone from the phone manufacturer, the OnePlus One, is still a very good phone to buy.  The company recently released its own Oxygen OS ROM for its OnePlus One users.  OnePlus also launched a mini drone recently which leaves a lot of ground to speculate about today’s launch.
