For fans of CyanogenMod that have been eagerly waiting on news regarding the pure CyanogenMod phone i.e. the Oppo N1 with CyanogenMod loaded, Christmas may have come early, almost literally. Oppo announced on their Twitter account earlier today that the Oppo N1 with CyanogenMod preloaded has been compatibility test suite (CTS) certified, meaning that the CyanogenMod Oppo N1 will be able to use the Google Play Store to install apps. This makes the Oppo N1 the first phone running CyanogenMod to get Google’s blessing to use its app store.

This is huge news for CyanogenMod fans, particularly those who are getting a little tired of sideloading apps. Oppo also announced that this version of the N1 would be launching on Christmas Eve, December 24th, and while no mention was made of the pricing, we can’t see it straying far from the price of the vanilla Oppo N1 at $599.
Who’s now definitely considering the Oppo N1 CyanogenMod phone after hearing this news? Let us know what you think.
