The first smartphone with ubuntu os has arrived in Europe.
The Aquaris E4.5 will be offered 169.90
euros, or roughly US$195, across the continent.This unique launch strategy was conceived as a way for the developers to gauge demand and respond to early feedback before offering the phone to a wider audience.
The phone's Linux-based operating system was developed by UK-based Canonical, while the handsets were developed and produced by BQ, a technology firm based in Spain that already has produced an Android variant of the hardware.
This samrtphone with Ubuntu Edition is aimed at the midrange handset market in Europe.
It features:
a 4.5 inch screen
dual SIM support
front 5 megapixel camera
8 megapixel rear facing camera.
Support apps written in the HTML5 web programming language or QML code.
Even with the relatively attractive price point, the Aquaris E4.5 could still face numerous problems, not the least of which is that the marketplace for smartphones remains highly contested, with scarce opportunities for the smaller players.
