As reported by us earlier this week, OnePlus One is set to be launched in India exclusively on Amazon India. This has been a great news for Indian consumers as getting a OnePlus One was a tedious affair altogether. However things have steered from their usual course as CyanogenMod has granted exclusive rights for its software i.e. CyanogenMod OS in India to Micromax. What this means for OnePlus One and prospective buyers, read on to find out.

As stated on the official OnePlus One blog, Cyanogenmod has entered into an exclusive partnership with Micromax in India due to which, OnePlus One can’t continue with its usage (at least in India).

As a workaround, Cyanogenmod has promised their own ‘software solution’ based on Android Lollipop which will release in February 2015 along with a promised 2 year software support after release. They also suggested that OnePlus will continue to provide the same bloatware free, robust and customizable user experience to the user. Only time will tell how this will fare out.
