Micromax’s sub-brand Yu Televentures has been offering Cyanogen OS exclusively in India since November 2014, but that may not be the case for much longer. Lenovo is all set to introduce the ZUK Z1 in the Indian market, with the phone also set to offer Cyanogen OS 12.1.
Speaking to Gadgets360, Lenovo’s head of product marketing Anuj Sharma had this to say:
It [the deal] was there before that’s what I was told by Cyanogen team. But the team now said its ok now. So we are going ahead with the launch.
Based on the statement, it looks like the exclusivity agreement between Micromax and Cyanogen is no longer valid. As for the ZUK Z1, Sharma mentioned that the 64GB model will be available in the country, and that it will be priced aggressively.
