The official OnePlus website has teased a series of photos that show off the upcoming OnePlus 2's new USB cable.

OK, so "new USB cable" isn't the most exciting phrase in the world, but it does give us a glimpse of a new OnePlus 2 feature.

This is because the photos show a new USB Type-C cable, which means the OnePlus 2 will be one of the few smartphones to feature the new connection. In fact, according to OnePlus' official Twitter account, the OnePlus 2 will be the first flagship to use Type-C USB.

The benefits of USB Type-C are numerous – for example it's reversible, which means you can plug the cable in any way around and it will work.

It can also transfer data up to 10Gbps, which is much faster than standard USB cables, and it will also charge devices quicker.

So showing off a USB cable might seem like a little thing, but it actually has big implications for the OnePlus 2. Expect to lock eyes on the handset soon.
