from the looks of their website it is just a forked jolla but there is cyanogen mod listed as OS...

http://oneplus.net

From the stats and the price-tags, this could hit Samsung and HTC pretty hard (Apple is no competition at the moment)

  • CPU Qualcomm© Snapdragon™ 801 processor with 2.5GHz Quad-core CPUs
  • GPU Adreno 330, 578MHz
  • RAM 3 GB LP-DDR3, 1866MHz
  • Connectivity
    • GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
    • WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
    • LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40
  • Wi-Fi Dual Band (2.4G/5G) 802.11 b/g/n/ac
  • Bluetooth 4.1
  • NFC 65T (software card emulation, payment methods and multi-tag support)

A fork? In what sense? At a first glance, OnePlus doesn't seem to have anything in common with Jolla.

It's just HW. It runs android. And every time i use an android phone i feel like i am using windows xp in a way. :/ So i don't care. + its huge. Even the current jolla feels big in the hand. The main point of owning a jolla is the OS. Of course since this runs CM it should be easy to get it to run jolla.

@Camil B jung startup trying to make a difference, website has several style elements the same with jolla's - they differ alot sure and it seems they will have alot better start than jolla BUT it seems they are the hardware guys and jolla are the software guys so how about them meet?

no competition to the s* we get ;) Another bloated 12hour-3100mAh drainer with no real innovation OS wise and max. 2years updates if any... But thanks for the heads up, you are right, it looks forked design wise.

Cheaper than Jolla.

Competitor. OnePlus is a Chinese manufacturer, and as you mention in the question, the phone runs CyanogenMod, not Sailfish. So the phone has nothing to do with Jolla. More details on The Register.

@vgrade did some great steps with porting SailfishOS to the Oneplus One.

See this Thread for more information.

Customer: If someone have followed Oneplus story he had figure out that now Oneplus is building own Andorid OS because had been in trouble with COS on Oneplus One years ago. So an agreement with Jolla for the firmware could be a great merger. Oneplus have a great hardware and very competitor of Samnsung, Apple, Huawei. I think that a indipendent firware like Sailfish could be a gold mine for Oneplus.

PS: Oneplus has a bad way to improve his devices. It hasn't time to continues firmware updates of all his devices. So having a company like Jolla lets oneplus focus only in hardware

It seems to be an Oppo subcompany, Oppo is the one and only accionist of OnePlus, the OnePlus One is very similar to the Oppo Find7. Maybe it is a comercial movement by Oppo,so it is a competitor, but more for the android flagships than for Jolla. Pd: And it is to big for me :)

https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ : PureOS currently is GNOME-based and our great experience with working with GNOME as an upstream as well as GNOME’s OS and design-centric development model.

Good luck with that..
