Ubuntu Edge Smartphone With Dual-booting Into Android &Ubuntu
You all know what Ubuntu is. The makers of Ubuntu, the Linux Operating system, Canonical has announced a smartphone names as Ubuntu Edge. The first question that arises in the mind is Why? Actually why not, already many companies who are not in mobile business wants to try their hands in this. Then why not Ubuntu?
Actually, the images of Ubuntu smartphone has been leaked on the Internet. Looking at the images you will come to know that, the phone is rectangle in the shape. Talking about the specification, it comes with 4-5 inch 720p display. Canonical says that it has the "fastest available multi-core processor" along with 4 GB of RAM and 124 GB of internal memory, largest in the market.
Another interesting thing that will definitely catch your attention is that the Edge will be able to dual boot into either Android or Ubuntu Mobile and will be ‘fully’ integrated with the Ubuntu desktop OS once the smartphone is docked to a PC. Isn't that great. The Edge will also have an 8MP primary camera and a 2MP front-facing camera along with support for 4G Dual-LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4 and NFC. The smartphone will have a metal body and will be 9 mm in thickness. The battery will use silicon-anode technology.
Canonical has also launched a fund campaign on Indiegogo with the target of raising $32 million by 21 August and so far, in less than a day, the campaign has already raised over $3 million mainly thanks to users who are willing to buy the smartphone at launch for $600. Canonical was offering the Edge for $600 (Rs. 35,800 approx.) to the first 5,000 backers and it’s still available for $830 (Rs. 49,500 approx.) for everyone else.
Lets hope that this phone brings something new to people who wants to see dual booting.
Cheers!!!
