With the end of Cyanogen, the companies that've released smartphones running Cyanogen OS must now find another way to support their devices. Today Wileyfox has revealed its plans.
Wileyfox says that it plans to release a “purer” and “enhanced” Android experience to its devices that are currently running Cyanogen OS. This software will be released via an over the air update to all Wileyfox devices.
No other details of Wileyfox’s software plans have been revealed, but the company says that it plans to begin updating all of its devices to Android 7.0 Nougat by the end of the first quarter of 2017.
This is all good news for anyone that’s already got a Wileyfox phone or has been thinking about picking one up. It’s no surprise that Wileyfox is planning to move away from Cyanogen, but it’s good to get some concrete information from the company itself, especially with the news that Android 7.0 Nougat updates are right around the corner.
Now we just have to wait for Wileyfox’s “purer” and “enhanced” version of Android to begin rolling out so that we can learn exactly what it entails.
