World’s first Ubuntu Phone

The world’s first Ubuntu phone – The Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition – will be made available at BQ.com across Europe through a succession of Flash Sales over the upcoming months. The BQ Ubuntu smart phone, which places substance at the heart of the experience, is the ideal balance between cost and qualifications and will be of 169.90 Euros.

The present smart phone sales are dominated by iOS and Android, and they make it difficult for new manufacturers to launch themselves. The Windows Phone was launched a long time ago but it has still not been able to establish itself in the market. The problem that surrounds the ambitions of new operational systems is the need for a competent and accommodating app network. Without apps, consumers would not hold up the new OS. The Linux-supported open resource OS Ubuntu attempts to address this dilemma in a different way. The world’s first Ubuntu phone would not have applications. In their place, it will have a new consumer ecosystem called Scopes.


The slim design and four and a half inch screen of the 8GB Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition comes in the color black. It features a 5 mega pixel front camera and an 8 mega pixel back camera with auto focus and double flash and full HD (1080p) for a really sharp video. The rear camera is also fitted with premium quality BSI sensors and a Largan lens. It features a MediaTek Quad Core Cortex A7 mainframe working at up to 1.3 GHz and 1GB RAM to increase the rapidity and efficacy of the device.
