Tomorrow begins the MWC in Barcelona and with it both Canonical and BQ and Meizu will present their smartphones with Ubuntu Phone. There are more and more devices with this operating system, although not as many as there are with Android, yes they are very varied devices with various functions and various prices. Tomorrow this may change and something new will be seen, but today we can say that smartphones are the next four models we present to you.
Yes, you heard me right, there are four. On this occasion we haven’t caught the first terminals in the Nexus family which were used as a test side. We have decided this because first they are terminals only with Android and secondly because they are devices that are no longer sold in the market.
