Ubuntu Phone seems to be ready to shake up the way we interact with our smartphones and the applications we have installed on them. Rather than separating all applications as with Android and iOS, Ubuntu Phone brings a revolutionary idea of "Scopes", which, as Cristian Parrino, the Mobile Vice President of Canonical, suggests, is a "game changing".
Ubuntu Phone seeks to integrate content and services via the "Scopes" which will integrate various applications and services in an easy to use interface, so users do not have to scroll through the icons on the screens.
For example, the scope "NearBy" (nearby) bring together local services centered around where you are and what you do, giving you advice on local restaurants nearby, and the weather in your area. Suffice to say that we no longer have to open disjoint applications or web pages to view all the information.
Act fast
It goes on sale exclusively in Europe for 169.90 euros Monday, February 9th during a flash sale . The site for the sale and exact time will be announced on the account Ubuntu and bqreaders Twitter.
If you want to get your hands on it, you have to be quick, because there will be only a limited number of devices BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition available Monday. Rodrigo del Prado, deputy general manager of BQ, mentioned that other flash sales, and greater availability in Europe will follow in the next two to three weeks.
Time will tell if this choice will pay off, and if Ubuntu Phone can attract the attention of iOS and Android users unhappy.
