Cyanogen OS No Longer Exclusive to Micromax's Yu in India: Lenovo
Cyanogen back in 2014 announced an exclusive partnership with Micromax that led OnePlus to remove the Cyanogen OS branding from its OnePlus One smartphones just ahead of the India launch. Cyanogen last year parted ways with OnePlus after several months of rough weather in their relationship, and the Chinese OEM has since been releasing smartphones with its own custom ROM - OxygenOS.
Micromax's Yu Televentures subsidiary on the other hand has been releasing Cyanogen OS powered Yu handsets ever since. However, it seems the exclusive Cyanogen-Yu deal no longer exists as Lenovo will be soon launching a Cyanogen OS-powered smartphone in the country.
The Chinese company has confirmed plans to launch the first smartphone under its online-only sub-brand - the Zuk - in India which will be running Cyanogen OS out-of-the-box and will see light of day in the second week of May. Ahead of the launch, Gadgets 360 met Anuj Sharma, Head of Product Marketing - Lenovo, to talk about the company's strategy for the new sub-brand.
