Smartisan OS

Smartisan OS

Smartisan OS is an Android-based smartphone platform developed by Chinese company Smartisan.[1] It is a custom ROM for smartphones and potentially tablet devices.

Name

The CEO of Smartisan Co., Ltd., Luo Yonghao, said on Sina Weibo that "Smartisan" is a portmanteau of "Smart" and "Artisan".

Development

Smartisan OS was unveiled on March 27, 2013[2] at China National Convention Center. It will compete with MIUI from Xiaomi and FlyMeOS from Meizu in the Chinese cellphone market. But the current version is still in development and has several bugs. The first public beta is available from June 15, 2013 and it will initially be compatible with Samsung Galaxy S III plus a few other devices, followed by Smartisan's own hardware next year, after which no third-party devices will be supported.[1][3]

Hardware

In May 2014 Smartisan Co. introduced their first smartphone, the Smartisan T1.[4] A year later on August 26, 2015, Smartisan U1 is announced with Smartisan OS 2.0 taking on likes on OnePlus 2 and Meizu M2 Note.[5][6]
