OnePlus names its first CyanogenMod Phone, promises 'best' specs

[sincity]

Android lovers can already get their hands on one pre-rooted Android Phone and soon they'll have options with another from OnePlus.

OnePlus, Cyanogen's startup manufacturer partner since late last year, announced on Google+ that it will release a smartphone for next quarter.

The first device OnePlus teased on its Facebook page describes the One – a name sure to cause HTC some grief – as "built using only the best components and 2014 flagship specs, both inside and outside."

That's not a lot of specifics to work with, but the smartphone upstart noted the One handset would come with 9 band LTE support. This includes LTE Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/39/40/41 to help mobile users keep calling and calling around the world.

If the phone comes to the US it will likely come to T-Mobile, which runs on LTE band 4, meanwhile, AT&T users surf on bands 4 and 17.

Root the day

Of course other than wireless LTE spectrum options, the phone's most notable shipping features is CyanogenMod. Thus far the Google sanctioned rooted operating system only appears on the Oppo N1.

Oppo N1's CyanogenMod 10.2, allows user to fine tune a rooted version of Android 4.2 making the OS lighter, more secure, and completely customizable. Meanwhile, Google's blessing CyanogenMod users can also access the Google Play Store to download apps instead of manually loading them on.

OnePlus claimed that its version of CyanogenMod won't be the same rooters are used to seeing. Instead it will feature "new, specially customized features and new exciting elements to the CyanogenMod experience."

Again, OnePlus wasn't ready to release specifics on its handset just yet. But the early teases are tantalizing, we'll have to wait and see if the device-making youngster can deliver later this year.
