Mobile phones have always been evenly distributed between Apple and Google, but this situation will change since 2014. Mobile phones with Ubuntu as the operating system will be available, and the main selling point is that the Code is completely open, there is no need to worry about the leakage of personal data through backdoors. Apple's iPhone is a completely closed system. Only Apple knows whether there are backdoors in it to collect users' personal data.

Mobile phones with Ubuntu as the operating system will be available, and the main selling point is that the Code is completely open, there is no need to worry about the leakage of personal data through backdoors.

Apple's iPhone is a completely closed system. Only Apple knows whether there are backdoors in it to collect users' personal data. Most of Google's Android code is open, but a few are under the control of Google. Ubuntu is a open-source operating system, and all code is open to the public. Canonical, the parent company for Ubuntu development, has established a telecommunications Consulting Group (Carrier Advisory Group, CAG). Up to now, eight Telecommunications companies have participated in the development. They will support Ubuntu development for smart phones. Canonical said that Members will be able to access the information of the Ubuntu smart phone version and the device manufacturer's plan, but also have the opportunity to become partners when the official release of the Ubuntu smart phone.

Members of the CAG include Deutsche Telekom, Everything Everywhere, Korea Telecom, Telecom Italia, LG UPlus, Portugal Telecom, SK Telecom, and Spanish international Carrier. Canonical released the Ubuntu for Phones Mobile Phone platform in January 2013 and listed two hardware requirements, showing that it will support both low-level and high-level smartphones. The Ubuntu for Phones Developer Preview version was made public in February 2013.

Mr. David Wood, chairman of the CAG, once served as a director of Symbian and Open Mobile Alliance and has 25 years of experience in Mobile devices. Wood says the industry is still looking for an independent platform that can drive innovation. Ubuntu not only attracts user experience, but also experienced developers, however, CAG will have a sufficient opportunity to influence the Ubuntu blueprint and enjoy the potential of this emerging platform. The CAG will hold regular meetings to learn about key functions and development of the Ubuntu platform, the topics discussed also include customization of manufacturers and telecommunications carriers, portability of the developer ecosystem and applications, support for HTML5 standards on the platform, performance, compatibility, inclusion of programs, and revenue sharing Mode, Payment standards and mechanisms, and positioning in the consumer and enterprise market. Another fully open-source operating system, Firefox OS, will be available almost in the near future, and there will inevitably be a New Situation in the mobile industry.
