Ukuthetha nge-smartphone yokuqala eya kuba ne-Ubuntu ngokusemthethweni, kwaye ithi inkqubo yokusebenza eya kuba nayo iya kuba yi-Android isenokubonakala ngathi i-paradoxical, yinyani. Nangona kunjalo, inyaniso kukuba oku kuya kuba njalo. Ngeli xesha, iCanonical yenze isindululo kwi ubuntu edge, eya kuba neenkcukacha zobugcisa eziphezulu, kunye ne-Dual-Boot, ngoko iya kuba ne-Ubuntu kunye ne-Android.
Uqinisekisa njani ukuba i-smartphone enoBuntu inokuba nazo zonke izibonelelo ze-Android zokuqinisekisa ukuthengisa? Ewe, impendulo ilula kakhulu kunokuba ibonakala, ukuyithengisa ngeenkqubo zombini ezisebenzayo. Ukuba uyamthemba ngokwenene u-Ubuntu ukuba yinkqubo yangoku kunye nomgangatho ophezulu wokusebenza, yenza yonke ingqiqo emhlabeni. ICanonical yenze isiphakamiso se-smartphone entsha, kwaye ukuba bafumana inkxaso eyaneleyo baya kuyisa phambili. Oku kuya kuthiwa ubuntu edge kwaye iya kuba nescreen se-4,5-intshi enesisombululo se-1280 nge-720 pixels. Yinkcazo ephezulu, kodwa ayisiyo Full HD. Ngale ndlela inokugxekwa, kodwa inyaniso kukuba akunjalo, kuba injongo mhlawumbi ibiya kuba kukuthoba iindleko eziya kuveliswa ngumkhusane wolu hlobo.
ubuntu edge Iya kuba neenkcukacha zobugcisa ezingenazo nee-smartphones zokugqibela kwimarike. Ukuqala, kuya kuba ne-4 GB RAM. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, oku kuphawuleka kakhulu, nangona kunokuba kukuvumela ukuba kuqhutywe zombini iinkqubo zokusebenza ngexesha elinye, ukuze ngamnye kubo aqhube nge-2 GB ye-RAM. Nangona kunjalo, imemori yangaphakathi iya kuba yi-128 GB, ngoko sele sithetha ngezinga eliphezulu kakhulu. Basenokuba bafundile ukuba yintoni edla ngokwenzeka ngeeprojekthi ezisekwe kwi-crowdfounding-based, kwaye bayazi ukuba ukusungulwa kuyakuhlehliswa iinyanga ezininzi. Ezi nkcukacha ziya kuqinisekisa ukuba i-smartphone ikhoyo ngoku. Iprosesa iya kuba yi-multicore, kwaye kulula kuyo ukuba ihluke ngokuxhomekeke kwiiprosesa ezithwalwa zii-smartphones zomzuzu.
Ikhamera iya kuba yi-8 megapixels, leyo, kunye nesikrini, iya kuba ngowona mgangatho umbi. Nangona kunjalo, isenobuncinci ukuba i-smartphone iqhube kakuhle kakhulu. Bangabheja ngakumbi kumava akumgangatho ophezulu womsebenzisi, ukuvumela ukufikelela kwizicelo, izaziso okanye useto ngeentshukumo ezimbalwa ezilula. Ukongeza, bathetha malunga nokwenzeka kokudibanisa i-smartphone kwimonitha, imouse kunye nekhibhodi, ngaloo ndlela ijika ibe yikhompyuter enobuntu. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, inokuba sisiganeko esinekamva elininzi, nangona okwangoku ixhomekeke kakhulu kwindlela eqhubela phambili ngayo.
