At the MWC Conference held today, Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu, said during his visit that the first Ubuntu mobile phone will be released this fall and will "be exceptionally powerful in some fields ", but there are inevitable "weak points"-but it is definitely "better than" Microsoft in terms of software.The meizu MX3 and BQ Aquaris smartphones of Ubuntu versions will be available in the third quarter of this year.
Shuttleworth said: "Our first-generation mobile phones will definitely surprise you in some fields. However, compared with Android and iOS platforms. But when consumers get their hands, they will surely be amazed at the excellent app catalog of this mobile phone and the improvement in some fields ."
"Although there are currently no 0.65 million applications in our app marketplace, you do not have to worry about using the app when the first generation of Ubuntu mobile phone is released ."
When asked why Ubuntu will cooperate with meizu and BQ in China, Shuttleworth replied:"Many of our partners are well-known vendors. However, when we launched Ubuntu mobile phones, these large mobile phone manufacturers were only a small part of the future development of the ecosystem. Therefore, the reason for our cooperation with the two mobile phone manufacturers is that the original intention of both parties is the same and they share a common pursuit; on the other hand, both companies can find the right time to launch the right devices within the right time. The two companies finally attracted us to work closely together because they both have a keen perspective on the mobile phone market and are not afraid of difficulties, obstacles, and persistent pursuit of devices, in the future market, we will be able to launch appropriate deployment for appropriate groups of people in the appropriate time."
