If the arrival on the market of a Meizu smartphone OS Ubuntu was almost certain, both Meizu and Canonical companies formalized their partnership last November, we were still waiting for official confirmation. Indeed, rumors are made more and more about it from the beginning of the year, but no information could not allow us to say anything.
An expected global launch
This confirmation came today because Meizu has announced on his Weibo account that MX4 Ubuntu would soon be formalized. The posted image also indicates the URL of the international website of Meizu, confirming a worldwide launch.
And according to the Android Headlines site that would have taken direct contact with Meizu, the presentation of the MX4 Ubuntu would even place next week, since the smartphone would be presented by Canonical during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. After bq and Aquaris E4.5, the Chinese manufacturer would be the second to market a device running Ubuntu.
If the rumors gave the impression that the first smartphone Meizu to operate under Ubuntu would be the Blue Charm (also called m1 mini), due to its lower price, it seems that the manufacturer has preferred to showcase this new OS is in delivering to its flagship of it a year ago.
