BQ X5 with Cyanogen OS - Coming soon!

[Chris_K]

Hey all,

The newly announced BQ Aquaris X5 is coming soon, exclusively to O2. BQ produces the third best selling smartphone in Spain & Portugal, and when you consider the devices that are sold in those territories, it's clear that BQ know how to make a phone, and the X5 is certainly a looker.

The X5 features a five inch screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon™ processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory with room to expand through an SD card. It also packs a pair of powerful cameras with a 13MP unit on the back and a 5MP selfie camera on the front.

What really makes the X5 stand out from the crowd is that it's running Cyanogen OS, a modified and customised version of Android that gives you more control and features. If you like the sound of that, you can find out more about Cyanogen OS here > https://cyngn.com/cyanogen-os

Although the phone should come with some very strong warnings for the unwary or inexperienced.....

Dual sim and a stock android version with 32gb and dolby sound too - impressive for 200 euros.

I don't know much about this but I thought rooting etc was against the rules
