We have heard lots of several news on based on interval of times from Cyanogen that it wants to take Android away from Google.Which looks difficult but cant say anything this issue has been serious the whole time. The company has just announced that it will launch a smartphone in partnership with BLU, which will not feaure any Google services.
Cyanogen is the Second heigest in the current market with billions of dollars invested in the project to create smartphone operating system to compete android operating system.
BLU is a US company that has launched a few budget Android smartphones in the country. Cyanogen will replace the Google services with its alternatives. The Google Play Store will be replaced by Amazon’s App Store which is some latest news, Opera’s capable browser will replace Chrome and Nokia’s HERE Maps will take the place of Google Maps.
The phone will also come with Microsoft’s digital assistant Cortana, powered by Bing instead of Google Search and voice features. We recently came across reports suggesting Microsoft has invested in Cyanogen and well, that might be true considering more Microsoft apps like OneDrive will be part of the release.Hope according to reports Microsoft is is investing with Cyanogen.
According to BLU’s CEO,Samuel Ohev-Zion, “When these other apps are deeply integrated into the phone, most of the time they perform better than the Google apps.” Kirk McMaster, Cyanogen’s co-founder also added, “We’re putting a bullet through Google’s head.”
Which is some cruel statement by CEO but google is not a small company to loose its share in market.Google will also over come with new features in future.
The device suppose to be launched later this year and we’ll have to see how well the BLU Cyanogen smartphone performs without the Google suite of apps.
