While
there have been reports about Cyanogen releasing the Cyanogen 12 OS
running on the Android 5.0 Lollipop in the coming weeks, here’s an
official confirmation that it will be made available in India, too.
While responding to a query on Twitter, OnePlus Co-founder Carl Pei
revealed that the new CM 12S update will be rolled out as on OTA
update.
It
will also be made available for OnePlus One smartphone users in India
as an over-the-air update, he further said. It still remains to see if
the company will release the new update, considering the ongoing tussle
between Micromax and OnePlus.
If
you remember, before the launch of the Yu Yureka smartphone (a new
venture by Micromax which will focus on Cyanogen OS based smartphones),
the company had gone to court to get OnePlus One’s smartphones banned in
India (the latter had then newly launched in India via Amazon.in).
The
entire episode painted both Cyanogen and Micromax in bad light, as
Indian users who were planning to buy OnePlus One felt that they would
no longer get OTA updates from the company.
However,
soon after in a blog post, Cyanogen said, “to clarify misinformation
out there, the OnePlus One will get OTA firmware updates for all global
devices, including global devices for our users in India.”
OnePlus
One has received accolades and the company recently announced 16GB Silk
White OnePlus One model in India, available exclusively on Amazon.in
for Rs 18,999.
