Those of you who have been eagerly awaiting an official OnePlus Two announcement might not have to wait much longer, as OnePlus has announced through social media that it’s looking to “shake up the tech industry” on June 1st. We know that the company is definitely working on a successor to the OnePlus One, and we know it’s going to be released “later in the year,” so there’s a good chance that this may be the OnePlus Two announcement we’ve been waiting for. However, the company has teased us like this before only to unveil some unrelated product, so don’t be surprised if this turns out to be something other than a new smartphone.

Last year, the original OnePlus One was made official back in April. Here we are at the tail-end of May and suffice to say, we’re probably a little overdue for a One followup. Now, OnePlus never committed to a yearly release schedule for their devices, so it’s not like they’re actually “late.” But with OEMs like Samsung, HTC, LG and Sony already playing their hands for this year, OnePlus has to do something and quick. If we had to give them credit for anything, it’d be keeping their cards so close to their chest. After several mini announcements this year (like OxygenOS) we may finally have a date for actual new hardware. OnePlus is once again teasing an event on their Google+ page, but this time it looks like it could actually be the OnePlus One followup we’ve been waiting for and not some new portable battery charger or anything like that. The startup posted a photo of the original One being erased along with the tag line “we think it’s time for a change.” If we were betting men, we’d say a OnePlus Two is almost certain. Of course, this is OnePlus we’re talking about here, so we wont get our hopes up lets we find ourselves blindsided by a new OnePlus color or denim battery cover.
