BQ Aquaris 4.5 – First Ubuntu Phone
BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition – The 1st Ubuntu Phone
Officially launched last 11th of February 2015 by the Spanish mobile phone manufacturer BQ.
The Price. €169.90 (around SGD $260)
The good. Well Ubuntu Phone is finally out after what seemed like ages of waiting, and rampant rumors of it not ever coming out after several months of delay.
The bad. It cannot be bought normally at the BQ online store or anywhere else in the world. It is only sold via a series of what they dub as “flash sales”. These flash sales are for limited quantities only and at a limited time (say a few hours and until supply lasts).
