Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth recently revealed at the CeBIT exhibition in Germany that the first Ubuntu mobile phone will be available this year and will be very affordable, even lower than many fans expected. The first Ubuntu mobile phone will be manufactured by meizu and BQ and will be released this fall. Shuttleworth said in an interview that mobile phones will not target iPhone users because they have a high degree of loyalty. This means that the Ubuntu mobile phone is positioned as an Android user.
He said that the development of Ubuntu mobile phones has greatly benefited from Google's successful experience. He said: "The Price of Ubuntu mobile phones is between $200 and $400, which is a mid-range product. Android was initially not designed and built for your personal computer. Although we started a little late, this has also become a huge advantage for us, so that we can have enough experience to learn from before doing a thing, and then firmly walk out of our own path."
"I think consumers will be very excited to get a private computing device that acts as a TV or wearable device," he said. This will all become part of the Ubuntu mobile system and will be very exciting. The service intention of the Android system is very obvious, but new things are constantly added over time. If you have a clear understanding of Google's business model, I do not think that the success of the Android system depends entirely on the system, but Google provides a wide range of service extensions ."
