The world's very first Ubuntu powered smartphone, BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, will be out in the European market on Feb. 9, Monday. After many failed promises and numerous errors, the BQ Aquarius E4.5 smartphone will be unveiled very soon. Its display is unique and not similar to either the Apple iOS or Google Android smartphones, according to The Times of India.
The screen of the Ubuntu smartphone has 'scopes' which integrates different apps and services together in one place, so users do not need to keep scrolling through several screens of icons when trying to find the app to use. It has a 4.5 inched QHD with 540 x 960 resolution displays, a 5 megapixel front camera and an 8 megapixel rear camera, and a quad-core MediaTek Cortex A7 processor clocked at 1.3GHz and 1GB of RAM, an 8GB of internal storage, and a 2150mAh battery, Android Authority reported.
LTE is not yet available on this smart device at the moment, thought the specifications and features are not much a special aspect, all the mentioned elements of the Ubuntu smartphone is on sale for a relatively low price at $195 or €169.90.
The mentioned smartphone will be out on sale at the European market once launched next week. Canonical, the brains behind the Ubuntu OS, teamed up with Meizu and BQ last February and eventually will release the first Ubuntu handset.
BQ and Canonical have partnered with a number of European sellers to host a series of flash sales ad online, the first ad campaign will be released next week.
