Ubuntu Touch Supported DevicesThis category explains smartphone devices and electronic computers that utilize the Ubuntu Touch OS. Ubuntu Touch is available on 78 different tablets and phones as of February 2022. Some Ubuntu touch supported devices are listed and explained below: BQ Aquaris E4.5
It is an Android smartphone from the BQ Spanish manufacturer that was published to the market in June 2014 as a dual-sim budget phone. This device shipped with many versions of Android, starting from the 4.0 version, and can be upgraded to the 4.4.2 (KitKat) version of Android. BQ selected not to skin the OS, and as such, it contains the unchanged "Google Experience". Ubuntu Edition BQ Aquaris E4.5 is remarkable for being the initial commercially existing phone to bring the Ubuntu Touch mobile OS. On 9 February 2015, BQ, in association with Canonical, released the Ubuntu Edition and started a gradual publication in European Union from an online flash sale series. Later, BQ would follow the same pattern as the Aquaris E5, first publishing it with Android and, after that, with the Ubuntu touch. BQ Aquaris E5
The Aquaris E5 FHD and Aquaris E5 are dual-sim Android smartphones from the BQ Spanish manufacturer that were published to the market in July 2014. These devices shipped with the 4.4 (KitKat) version of Android. BQ selected not to skin the OS, and as such, it contains the unchanged "Google Experience", as detected on the Google Nexus. On 9 June 2015, BQ, in association with Canonical, released the Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition. This phone relies on the Aquaris E5 hardware (using the 1280*720 screen), and it was sold only in the European Union. Remarkably, it is only the 3rd phone device to be sold using the Ubuntu Touch mobile OS after the Meizu MX4 and the BQ Aquaris E4.5. BQ Aquaris M10
The Aquaris M10 FHD and Aquaris M10 are Android tablets from the BQ Spanish manufacturer that were published to the market in October 2015. These devices shipped with the 5.1 (Lollipop) version of Android. BQ selected not to skin the OS, and as such, it contains the unchanged "Google Experience", as detected on the Google Nexus. Ubuntu Edition On 5 February 2016, BQ, in association with Canonical, released the Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition. This tablet is available in the Aquaris M10 FHD hardware (using the 1920*1200 screen) and the Aquaris M10 HD edition (using the 1280*800 screen) in the BQ store. It became the initial tablet to be sold using the Ubuntu Touch OS in April 2016. Convergence is one of the primary aspects of Ubuntu touch, which means the tablet contains both a "desktop mode" and a "tablet mode".
"Scopes" is another aspect of Ubuntu Touch, which are data screens where external data is produced for the convenience of the user. Users don't need to launch an application to find their favorite content. Rather, they can use the scope that can stop their searching, and every relevant information is shown. Apple may have replicated the "today scope" aspect from Ubuntu Touch as their new aspect for iOS 10. Fairphone 2
The Fairphone 2 is a dual-sim, and touchscreen-based smartphone developed to be repaired by the user easily. First, it was published in December 2015 and was the initial modular smartphone. It has since gotten both major software updates and hardware improvements, initially shipping with the 5 (Lollipop) version of Android and running "Queen Cake" Android 10 as of November 2021. It is the second device with the social enterprise Fairphone and the initial one designed by it completely. The device is ethically sourced using recycled materials, Fairtrade gold, and conflict-free minerals. It was mobilized in audited factories in good working conditions. Fairphone 2 DesignEthical considerations Fairphone 2 is designed to include a lower environmental impact as compared to mass-market smartphones, along with 5 year expected lifespan. The modular design permits components to be substituted individually. Several electronic devices have minerals (gold tantalum, tungsten, and tin) from DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo), used by rebel groups and armies to fund war within the country. Hence, a few manufacturers ignore every material from the DRC, but it decreases employment opportunities. The supply chain of Fairphone 2 is audited to make sure that these materials provide from mines that don't fund armed groups but support local communities to offer a replacement to conflict mines. In the DRC, the tin and tantalum ores come from conflict-free mines, the tungsten material comes from Rwanda, and the gold material comes from Fairtrade-certified mines. The phone contains tungsten, copper, and recycled plastic in addition. The Fairphone 2 is mobilized by Hi-P, in China, Suzhou, in a factory that has been audited to make sure that it matches high standards for the environment and working conditions. Hardware choice The Fairphone 2 is made to have a higher lifespan as compared to other phones. With the Fairphone 1, the primary challenge was an SoC (system on a chip) Mediatek MT6589 that wasn't used widely, and that didn't get long-term software support through its manufacturer. Fairphone selected the widely used Snapdragon 801 environment for the Fairphone 2. This SoC popularity should help manage the long-term support of Fairphone 2. Deliberately, Fairphone 2 didn't contain recent invocations, such as USB-C ports or wireless charging, ensuring fewer compatibility and lower price issues. Although, the modular design of this phone permits the Fairphone team to improve newer modules along with updated components. New releases of the modular design include cameras. The back of the Fairphone 2 is also equipped with a charging input and USB pin-out, permitting aftermarket back covers and enhanced capabilities. Modular design The first modular smartphone is the Fairphone 2, available to the public. The repairable, modular design is made to enhance longevity with an extra focus on enhancing product recyclability. The phone components are made to be replaceable, and users only require a screwdriver to substitute components of this phone. It's possible to substitute individual components in every module in addition. From iFixit, the phone got a 10 out of 10 scores for its repairability, the highest score that is ever offered to any phone. The phone is composed of 7 removable elements: the back protective cover, the bottom module (charging port, microphone, vibration, and loudspeaker), the top module (sensors, speakers, headphones, and selfie cameras), the rear camera module, the display assembly, the battery, and the main chassis. Except for an upgraded slim case layout, the initial module is set to be updated as the cameras, with a newer rear camera module (using a 12-megapixel camera and dual LED flash) and top module (using a 5-megapixel camera) and September 2017. Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition

OnePlus One
The OnePlus One is an Android smartphone assembled by OnePlus. Announced in April 2014, it's the initial product of OnePlus. This device was developed to favorably compare- in price, quality, and performance- to flagship devices by popular smartphone manufacturers. Also, it was supposed to be developer-friendly and received a huge range of custom kernels and ROMs through the community. The OnePlus One moved to most markets along with the pre-installed Cyanogen OS operating system, a commercial CyanogenMod variant. The device was first presented for sale on 25 April 2014 on the OnePlus website but initially needed prospective customers to gain an invitation before they could purchase it. Primarily, these invitations were distributed through contests by the company, a few of which brought attention for their controversial or unconventional nature. On 6 June 2014, the phone was available for normal sale. As of 20 April 2015, the phone no longer needed the invitation to purchase. PinePhone
It is a smartphone integrated by Hong Kong-based computer manufacturer Pine64, designed to permit the user to have complete control of the phone. Measures to guarantee it are: active mainline Linux-based mobile OSes, mobilizing the phone with screws, facilitating the disassembly for upgrades and repairs, and giving kill security/switches for its hardware components. The PinePhone moves with the Manjaro Linux-based OS with the Plasma Mobile graphic interface. However, other distros can be installed by customers. Brief History Pine64 sold some PinePhone editions marketed towards early adopters and developers. The phone worldwide shipped with some geographical limitations. The "Braveheart" version, moved in January 2020, was the initial openly available edition of the phone, giving a test firmware only so the user can check their devices before installing their OS of choice.
