OnePlus has been promising its own Android software for a while, and that’s exactly what it delivered to kick off 2015. The new custom ROM, which is currently in alpha, is based on pure Lollipop and can be flashed using the TWRP custom recovery.

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 tomorrow, December 17. But before you get too excited, we’re almost certain this won’t be a new smartphone for several reasons.

One of the best things about the original OnePlus One is that its excellent design managed to pack a 5.5-inch display into a device that is more compact that some 5-inch smartphones, but the upcoming One Mini may not be quite as sleek. These purported images of the new device give us what could be our first glimpse at its 5-inch display and massive bezels.

The popular OnePlus One is on sale again without an invite, and you can get yours in time for Christmas if you order now. Don’t wait around too long, though, becaue this is a limited-time offer that’s only available while stocks last.
