Will Ubuntu Smartphones have what it takes to take on the might of Android and iOS? Well, sure they do!
Even as the world awaits the arrival of the first Ubuntu-powered smartphone with baited breath, the question is will the have enough fire power to give a nail biting competition to the likes of Google's Android and Apple's iOS? Canonical recently cooled expectations for a major Ubuntu Touch phone launch this year, saying a large OEM probably won't release a handset running the open-source OS this year. However, this year we should see the first Ubuntu smartphone launched with demo devices most at Mobile World Congress.
Here are three reasons why Ubuntu smartphone(s) will change the game for good:
1. One device to rule them all
A complete office experience is what we are talking about! A high-end Ubuntu smartphone should be able to get you through the day with ease, so just forget about that chunky laptop. A desktop-like experience can be achieved by getting of those pico projectors.
2. App support
The popular Linux distro already has a thriving eco-system. All it needs to do is optimizing these apps for a small screen experience. Many of the popular mobile apps have been already announced for Ubuntu Touch.
3. Great hardware
In its crowd funding campaign, Canonical was trying to build a top-notch smartphone with best specs possible, since Ubuntu is a solid platform that requires solid hardware. If Ubuntu smartphones use quad-core chips to ensure great user experience, clearly we won't be surprised at all!
