Ukukhuluma nge-smartphone yokuqala ezoba no-Ubuntu ngokusemthethweni, nokusho ukuthi uhlelo lokusebenza oluzoba nalo kuzoba yi-Android kungase kubonakale kuyindida, kuyiqiniso. Nokho, iqiniso liwukuthi lokhu kuzoba njalo. Ngalesi sikhathi, iCanonical yenze isiphakamiso se ubuntu edge, okungaba nokucaciswa kobuchwepheshe okuphezulu, futhi nge-Dual-Boot, ngakho-ke izoba no-Ubuntu ne-Android.
Ungaqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi i-smartphone enoBuntu ingaba nazo zonke izinzuzo ze-Android zokuqinisekisa ukuthengiswa? Nokho, impendulo ilula kakhulu kunalokho kubonakala, ukuyithengisa ngazo zombili izinhlelo zokusebenza. Uma uthembela ngempela ukuthi Ubuntu buwuhlelo lokusebenza lwesimanje kakhulu futhi olusezingeni eliphezulu, kwenza wonke umqondo emhlabeni. ICanonical yenze isiphakamiso se-smartphone entsha, futhi uma bethola ukwesekwa okwanele bazoyisa phambili. Lokhu kuzobizwa ubuntu edge futhi izoba nesikrini esingu-4,5-intshi esinesixazululo esingu-1280 x 720 pixels. Inencazelo ephezulu, kodwa akuyona i-Full HD. Ngalo mqondo kungase kugxekwe, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi akunjalo, njengoba inhloso cishe kungaba ukwehlisa izindleko ezizokhishwa isikrini salolu hlobo.
ubuntu edge Kungaba nezicaciso zobuchwepheshe ezingenakho ngisho nama-smartphones asezingeni eliphezulu emakethe. Okokuqala, izoba ne-RAM engu-4 GB. Ngaphandle kokungabaza, lokhu kuyamangalisa impela, nakuba kungaba ukuvumela ukusebenzisa zombili izinhlelo zokusebenza ngesikhathi esisodwa, ukuze ngayinye yazo isebenze ne-2 GB ye-RAM. Kodwa-ke, inkumbulo yangaphakathi nayo izoba ngu-128 GB, ngakho-ke sesivele sikhuluma ngezinga eliphezulu kakhulu. Kungenzeka ukuthi bafundile ukuthi yini evame ukwenzeka ngamaphrojekthi asuselwa ku-crowdfounding, futhi bayazi ukuthi ukwethulwa kungenzeka kuhlehliswe izinyanga eziningi. Lezi zici zizoqinisekisa ukuthi i-smartphone imanje okwamanje. Iprosesa ingaba yi-multicore, futhi kulula ukuthi ihluke kuye ngokuthi ama-processor aphathwa ama-smartphones okwamanje.
Ikhamera izoba ngama-megapixel angu-8, okuthi, kanye nesikrini, kube ikhwalithi embi kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, isenabo ubuncane be-smartphone ukuthi yenze kahle kakhulu. Bangabheja kakhulu ngolwazi lomsebenzisi lwekhwalithi ephezulu, okuvumela ukufinyelela kuzinhlelo zokusebenza, izaziso noma izilungiselelo ezinomnyakazo embalwa olula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, baphinde bakhulume mayelana nethuba lokuxhuma i-smartphone kumqapha, igundane kanye nekhibhodi, ngaleyo ndlela iguqule ibe yikhompyutha enobuntu. Ngaphandle kokungabaza, kungaba umcimbi onekusasa elikhulu, nakuba okwamanje kuncike kakhulu ekutheni uqhubeka kanjani.
