No specifics are known about the rumoured smartphone but it will most likely be a budget Android phone with an aggressive price-tag.
To remind you, Cyanogen Inc. had earlier worked with OnePlus to release a CM-powered smartphone. The ROM-maker had also released a manufacturer-sanctioned CyanogenMod ROM for Oppo’s N1 smartphone.
In related news, Cyanogen Inc. recently got a prospective acquisition offer from Google, which the company turned down and is now using as a leverage in Series C funding round talks. It is eyeing a valuation close to $1 billion. With no revenue or even a revenue model to show for, the alleged acquisition offer is the sole option for the company to use in the funding negotiations.
