First CyanogenMod Phone Available Now

First CyanogenMod Phone Available Now

The folks at CyanogenMod are credited with creating the most popular custom ROMs for Android devices, but they have moved far behind cooking custom firmware. While they still do that, CyanogenMod has now incorporated the company and has diversified its operations. The first ever CyanogenMod phone, built in collaboration with Oppo, is available now. It will be the first smartphone in the world to ship with CyanogenMod flavored Android pre-installed. The smartphone is available for purchase starting today.

The first CyanogenMod phone passed the Google compatibility test recently, which means that it has access to all closed source Google applications and services, including the Play Store. It would feel like just another Android device, which runs CyanogenMod 10.2 based off of Android 4.3. The smartphone itself is an Oppo N1, which touts a 5.9 inch 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM, 16GB onboard storage, a 13 megapixel rear camera and a rear touch panel. There’s no LTE support though, so don’t expect to access 4G high speed data through the device. The CyanogenMod Oppo N1 costs $599 and is available through the Oppostyle website, its in stock right now though shipping will take more than a couple of days, given the fact that Christmas is just around the corner.

    Nokia Normandy Leaks In All Its Colorful Glory

    Nokia Normandy Leaks In All Its Colorful Glory

     

    It was back in the second week of November when we first heard about a number of devices that Nokia was reportedly working on. Code names of several devices were leaked, Nokia Normandy being one of them. It is believed that this might potentially be the company’s Android powered smartphone, though Nokia itself hasn’t confirmed or denied that as yet. Little is known about this device right now, apart from the fact that it bears a resemblance to the Lumia 520 but doesn’t carry a Windows Phone logo like all other Nokia WP devices. Its also missing a dedicated camera button, LED flash and the capacitive buttons.

    The picture of the Nokia Normandy that you see posted above has been leaked by infamous Twitter personality @evleaks, who has a pretty solid track record when it comes to leaking information about upcoming products. @evleaks hasn’t confirmed as yet though if the Normandy is going to be an Android or a Windows Phone device, according to a previous rumor it might run an alternate version of Android, one that’s not connected to Google services. It remains to be seen if this device ever makes it to the market, particularly prior to the close of Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia’s devices and services division. One can’t think of a reason good enough to compel Microsoft into releasing an Android powered device.
