Unannounced OnePlus handset gets pictured at the FCC

Before the end of the year, OnePlus will launch its third smartphone ever, and the second one of 2015, to complement the OnePlus 2 in its portfolio. The new device will probably be smaller than the OnePlus 2, and it may be called either OnePlus X or OnePlus Mini.

Not long ago a purported full list of specs for the OnePlus Mini got leaked, and now a new OnePlus handset passed through the FCC. And, unlike what usually happens at the US-based regulatory agency, this time we even get a picture of the phone.

The model number for the device you see above is One E1005. This particular version comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, an FM radio, a 1.9 GHz processor, as well as support for LTE bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 and quad-band GSM. As can be seen in the image, it has a microUSB connector and not a USB Type-C port like the OnePlus 2. It also sports a metal frame, and a back that’s either plastic or glass. Its dimensions are supposedly 139.7 x 55.8 x 6.85 mm, but if true it means this will be one oddly long and narrow device.

These are all the details that the FCC has made public, but they do sort of match up with the idea of a smaller OnePlus phone coming soon. In fact, the Chinese company has already scheduled an event on October 12 in India, which is when this handset could become official.

LastPass Joins LogMeIn, But Not Everyone Is Thrilled About It

LastPass, a service to help people remember their passwords, announced on Friday that it is joining LogMeIn, a remote computer access company. While both companies have unsurprisingly touted the deal, LastPass customers don’t appear to be too happy about the news and many have shared their dismay online. The reaction, though obviously not ideal for LastPass or LogMeIn, is not all that surprising considering the fact that the deal involves individuals’ highly sensitive information—passwords—being moved over to a new company they may know very little about.
