What
comes to your mind when you hear the word oxygen? Well, yeah, it is fair to say that
everyone thinks of the oxygen we breathe and all that stuff. But we are surely
not going to tell you the fundamental reaction of oxygen because that'll be
awful, instead we are going to talk about the new Oxygen OS announced by
OnePlus recently.
OnePlus One is one of the hottest topics
recently with all the stuff going on with OnePlus and Cyanogen. It has been now
revealed that OnePlus has come up with their own OS "Oxygen". All of
this started with OnePlus posting a teaser which was an image of the periodic
table on their Wiebo account. Some thought that it was regarding their new back
cover made up of metal or something.
On
Friday, they revealed that they are going to name their new ROM as Oxygen which
reminds me of the competition they held a while back where they asked us to
suggest a name and looks like they have come up with this one. Speculations
about OnePlus launching their own OS started with their spat with Cyanogen
after the delay of release of OnePlus One in India, after which the fact that
OnePlus One turns up in U.S without Cyanogen branding on them just confirmed
it.
There
were rumors that Oxygen could be available for download on 12 Feb but for now,
you can only expect further information as they have revealed nothing about the
product up to now. What this ROM means to OnePlus is clear from their comments
and why not, now they are not dependent on others, now they have a software
that is open, that can be customized, that is free of bloat and also
unnecessary features.
