Even last year, Cyanogen was only a group of developers who created an unofficial firmware CyanogenMod-based operating system Android. Now it's a full company with great prospects and a huge number of employees.
Cyanogen previously worked with companies and Oppo OnePlus to release smartphones preloaded with firmware CyanogenMod, and today it was announced that Cyanogen with India's largest smartphone maker Micromax will produce devices based on CyanogenMod. It is reported that the first devices in this firmware will be presented before the end of this year.
Recall that Micromax is working with Google, and have recently been presented with the first available smarfony platform Android One.We also know that Google intends to purchase Cyanogen, but it abandoned this seemingly tempting offer. The Director-General Cyanogen Kirt McMaster says that they will continue to develop on their own and plan to become the third most popular mobile ecosystem. It seems that the company decided to start with one of the largest markets in the world - India.
