Most people comment without understanding what they were saying. People saying i can't install Android apps on the Ubuntu phone is like saying i can't install Android on apple OS. That is not smart because is different ecosystem. Apps are developed in their own ecosystem and for the record Android started somewhere. People are getting so ignorant they think Android or Google play store should be on every ecosystem. If you interested in Android phones that is your choice. Leave the Ubuntu phone for the smart ones

Anonymous, 27 Apr 2016i know what will you do.
you'll root it, unlock boot loade... moreWell, in Ubuntu you use sudo for admin rights, no need to hack or root at all. As for the bootloader, it is already unlocked thus you can indeed install Android if you want to.
This is true for Meizu mx4 at least.

This is a great first release handset. Go hard or go home.
Didn't really want to get a Windows phone as I have 2 desktops running Ubuntu and 2 latops running peppermint and the other is duel boot windows and Ubuntu..... I think this will be perfect..... The price though.

Meizu wants to test that is actually real demand of the operating system Ubuntu. In my opinion will not be successful. This phone has features top off the OS.

I appreciate the company for the way they respond, primarily wish of the people. If the company found that there is a demand in this segment of UBUNTU OS, then perhaps this is so. Personally, doubt that demand was so great that to occur under this OS (endangered) for smart phones.

Not a very North American friendly phone (especially not here in Canada). All the frequencies are wrong. Do they do this on purpose or is the licensing just too expensive? That's a shame, I would have scooped one of these up just for "geek cred".

There is no playstore for Ubuntu version. I'd rather prefer the Android version.
