The hardware for the first-ever Ubuntu Phone is made by Spanish manufacturer BQ. The phone is called the Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, and it’s a midrange phone with modest specs: 4.5-inch IPS display with 960×540 pixel resolution at 240 ppi, 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (plus a microSD slot), and a 2150 mAh battery. The main camera is 8 megapixels, the front one is 5 megapixels. Other than power and volume keys, there are no physical buttons, so photos are snapped by simply touching the screen. On-board software for the camera includes HDR, geotagging, and a 3×3 grid for helping with shot composition.
The Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is currently available in Europe only through online “flash sales,” so if you want one, you have to be—or know somebody who is— a) based in Europe and, b) very quick. Considering the price tag is €170 ($193.60), it’s actually a pretty good deal, even if you’re just interested in experimenting.
A second—and more technically capable—smartphone showcasing the mobile version of Canonical’s open source operating system is expected to be unveiled at the upcoming Mobile World Congress taking place in Barcelona in March. It will be an Ubuntu-loaded version of the Meizu MX4, and it will be available across Europe in April, and in China the following month.
