The Linux Ubuntu operating system is a longstanding project for the company Canonical Ltd., founded by South African Marck Shuttleworth Canonical has created a unified ecosystem Mobile-Desktop, a bit ‘like Microsoft to be clear, but progress to today turn out to be a very satisfactory.
MEIZU was very active part in this project, participating with vare compilations of demos and rumor on the smartphone with Ubuntu on board, even in the days dell’MX3.
Today the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has released a teaser rather curious and interesting on its Facebook page. The image alludes to a new operating system that will be called Flyme or Yunos and that, in all probability, will be presented at MWC this year which, remember, will land in early March in Barcelona.
Instinctively we thought Ubuntu Touch, which we hope to see soon in the devices of mass production. This intuition is supported by rumors of an Ubuntu MX4 that will be marketed in the first months of 2015.
The flagship device of MEIZU was repeatedly candidate to have experience Linux on board and, in this sense; we may have some pleasant surprises in March, as we stand before a MX4 or MX4 PRO that, in addition to offering hardware high-end, would bring with it a new OS. It is not, however, exclude the possibility that MEIZU present one completely new smartphone to be launched on the world market of Mobile.
In any case, this is important news, Ubuntu Touch promises a desktop complete with the final design of a phone or a tablet with Ubuntu running connected to a larger screen, it is a TV or a laptop PC. In any case we are talking about talking about experiments, the “full desktop convergence” still has the sign “work in progress” in plain sight, there are still many hardware requirements to satisfy, but the new generation of mobile devices has the potential to Linux is that the ecosystem can lead to good results. In short, then the first smartphone with Ubuntu on board and we are sure MEIZU is already gearing up on the launch pad.
