We are doomed to fail to raise funds. UbuntuEdge is also worthy of respect.

About a month ago, in July 23 this year, the famous Linux publisher Canonical announced on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo that it had launched a fund-raising program of up to $32 million for the super mobile phone UbuntuEdge. The fund-raising plan stipulates that, within 30 days from that time, the mobile phone will be produced if the fund is raised for $32 million. If the target is not met, all previous donations will be refunded to the user. What is crowdfunding? Crowdfunding, or Crowdfunding, refers to group buying and pre-purchase,

What is crowdfunding? Crowdfunding, or Crowdfunding, refers to a way to raise funds for the masses through group buying and pre-purchase. Crowdfunding requires that appropriate funds be raised within the specified number of days. If no pre-store funds are raised at the specified time, this crowdfunding operation fails, all funds will be refunded to each donor.

In an interview with Canonical, Leonard Tsai mentioned the concept of a "super mobile phone-

"Our target market has a special place called" ultra-high-end ". This ultra-high-end actually refers to what iOS and Android cannot achieve at present. The reason is that many mobile phone hardware has started to develop from quad-core to eight-core, some people have even begun to discuss whether they want to configure a smartphone with 16 cores and 2-4 gb ram in a year. But what kind of applications will be fully utilized by such high hardware specifications and solutions?

This is where Ubuntu is powerful and powerful, because we also have desktop and enterprise-level solutions that can be placed in the mobile operating system. In foreign countries, there is a new concept called BYOD and Bring Your Own Device. The main idea is to use the mobile phone as a PC and can carry it with you. That is to say, the so-called "ultra-high-end" smart phone solution is specially configured for top people and early audiences of business people or enterprises. This is also a part that cannot be achieved by other operating systems ."

Ubuntu Edge

It is understood that Ubuntu Edge supports both Ubuntu and Android systems, that is, after the corresponding base is inserted, it can be directly used as a personal computer fully integrated with the Ubuntu Desktop version. The machine will use the fastest multi-core CPU, 4 gb ram, and 4.5 inch GB storage space, and the screen will be 1280 720 x sapphire crystal clear screen. Ubuntu Edge will have a rear 8 million pixel low light camera, while the front camera will be 2 million pixels.

Ubuntu Edge has built-in GPS, speed sensor, gyroscope, distance sensor, compass, and barometer. It supports MHL interfaces, dual-band LTE + dual-band 802.11n, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC. Using a stereo high-definition microphone, this dual-cell phone can be recorded by a microphone with active noise reduction processing. In addition, the machine also uses a silicon anode lithium battery.

From this point of view, Ubuntu Edge can also be regarded as a mid-to-high-end mobile phone with a slight leader in some parameters.
