The originalOnePlus Onewill receive its serving of Marshmallows sometime in Q1 2016, viaCyanogen Inc. Despite thepublic breakupbetween OnePlus and Cyanogen, Steve Kondik’s company continues to support the OnePlus One with updates, asper its original commitment.
Kondikrecently revealedthat Cyanogen targets a release for CyanogenMod 13 (based on Android 6.0) by Christmas. However, this tentative ETA refers to CyanogenMod, the community project, while the commercial Cyanogen OS 13 will only follow suit in 2016.
Concerning its semi-officialOxygen OSbuild for the OnePlus One, OnePlus said it will offer an update “when the time allows.”
Moving on to this year’s devices, founder Carl Pei said that theOnePlus 2will get a Marshmallow-based build of Oxygen OS in Q1 2016. Pei specified that the update won’t bring a custom fingerprint API, as some users have requested; instead, the firmware will make use of Google’s standard fingerprint sensor API, which is built into Marshmallow.
As for the newOnePlus X, OnePlus is not ready to offer any information at this point.
OnePlus – like other Android OEMs – found itself in an embarrassing situation early this year, when itfailed to deliver on its promiseto bring Lollipop to the OnePlus One within 90 days of its official launch. This time around, Carl Pei and the team seem to be taking a cautious approach, which can’t hurt the young company,by Pei’s own admission.
