Unfortunately this was not 100% true. The Oppo N1 will come with the company’s own ColorOS system, but at the same time users will have the option of installing CyanogenMod directly from the phone itself, without the user having to worry about rooting and installing a custom recovery or downloading and transferring files. The good news is that if this still sounds like a lot of work, Oppo has recently announced a limited edition Oppo N1 handset that will come with CyanogenMod preinstalled out of the box. It will also come with extras such as CyanogenMod stickers, packaging specially made for CyanogenMod, and a case that will feature both CyanogenMod and Oppo mascots.
Both the regular Oppo N1 and the limited edition model will be shipping internationally come December and both devices will be priced the same, so don’t let the “limited edition” tag throw you off.
