Meizu MX4: first photos with Ubuntu Touch

The Ubuntu operating system is becoming a better choice because it is considered a very light and extremely effective operating system on any computer that is something old. Most of these people also know that this OS is about to reach smartphones, but today we have very few details.

 According to recent rumors should not miss much time to launch the new Meizu MX4 Touch carrying the Ubuntu operating system, a project we know for several months thanks to the collaboration between the Chinese company and canonical.

 Today is news again thanks to a first picture has released gsmarena blog, where we can see how the device running under the operating system Ubuntu Touch is shown. In the picture, which we show below, you can see what the main application screen. It is another example of how development has been changing details to prepare for an upcoming official release.

 Ubuntu Touch is a variant of Ubuntu Linux, which is designed for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Developed is because for a long time, and Canonical even wanted to bring a smartphone with Ubuntu Touch on the market, which was to be financed by crowdfunding. Unfortunately, the crowdfunding campaign, however, was a flop, so you reoriented him, and put on other manufacturers as partners, which should implement the first Ubuntu Touch smartphones. Meizu was next to a smartphone Spanish manufacturer of the first partner, and showed earlier this year Meizu MX3; on an early version of the Linux distribution was used. However, the development work was delayed for a long time, as proved to be the port due to the driver to be difficult. In the meantime, the project of Meizu was then postponed indefinitely.

 But now the subject Ubuntu Touch is currently playing, especially after a contract has been signed by Meizu and Canonical, which promises a release of Ubuntu Touch for Meizu MX4 for the start of 2015. Meizu is, however, porting the system not only on the MX4, but also customize the interface and establish its own ecosystem of apps. First results are now available on a leaked image showing a Meizu MX4 with Ubuntu Touch and the fitted surface. Can clearly be seen here that one puts on its own icon set, and the color is much brighter and friendlier implemented. The picture definitely makes you want more, and shows that Meizu is probably correct purely depend on the development of Ubuntu Touch at the moment.

 We hope that the strengths of the desktop version of Ubuntu, ie the speed and efficiency can arrive intact to mobile terminals, and hope that Canonical is able to get through this partnership an operating system for mobile able to get a large share of the market, since now it is dominated by Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
