Once every two weeks or so, Ubuntu is a topic of discussion in the
world of smartphones. Everyone wants an Ubuntu superphone, not just
customized software running on existing hardware. Well, Rahul Sharma
imagined such a device and created the Ubuntu Eon Superphone by
Canonical.
The tagline for the product is “the first canonical surprise”, since
the phone is developed by Canonical itself, in this theory. The handset
you see here is made from a blend of polycarbonate (front), while the
back is all chrome. The back side has a beautiful design and has a
specifically engraved Ubuntu logo. Specs of this Ubuntu smartphone
include the Ubuntu Touch OS, LTE, a 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and
2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM.
There’s also a 5 inch Full HD display on board with oleophobic
coating and Gorilla Glass 3. AT the back we’ve got a 13 megapixel camera
with optical stabilization developed by Nikkon lenses. The front camera
is a 3.2 MP unit with 720p capability and we’ve also got SRS premium
Surround sound and the usual sensors. Finally, we’ve also got a HDMI
port for extending the Ubuntu experience onto the desktop.
The
Ubuntu phone you see here measures just 6.7 mm
in waistline, has augmented reality, gesture recognition, 64 GB of
internal storage and a 3000 mAh battery. I really enjoy this design. Do
you?
[Thanks
