Meizu MX4 was originally an Android phone, equipped with Ubuntu system, the best description of the feeling of using Ubuntu phone should be - interesting

During the NWC, Canonical introduced a mid-to-high-end smartphone with Ubuntu: the Meizu MX4. The Meizu MX4, originally an Android phone, sells for about $450 overseas. Previously, Canonical cooperated with domestic mobile phone manufacturer Meizu to jointly launch a smartphone equipped with Ubuntu system (Meizu MX4). The configuration of this phone is the same as the configuration of the BOC version, which uses Mediatek chip solutions, does not support SD card expansion and the battery is not removable. The 5.3-inch, 1080P display is still impressive at $450. Unlike super flagship models like Apple or Samsung, the Meizu M4X is neither too thin nor too light, and it feels more like a handheld device that combines the advantages of robustness, quality and balanced performance.

The best way to describe the experience of using an Ubuntu phone is - fun. Unlike other mobile operating systems, Ubuntu phones do not have a "main menu" or "back button", except for the power button and volume button, all interactions are done through the on-screen menu. To return to the home screen, simply swipe from the left edge of the screen to display the user's favorite applications /Scopes, then click on the Ubuntu logo at the bottom left to return to the home screen. Swiping from the right side of the screen shows the application switcher.

While Ubuntu phones have the usual apps and Settings menus, the biggest difference is the software system "Scopes," which are HTML5-based Web apps and native QML apps that combine various services into specific types of screens, such as music, videos, and news. This is one of the selling points of Ubuntu phones. The user experience is very different from Android/iOS.

Overall, the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu edition did give me some surprises, switching between different apps is very fast, and the photo is very fast (image quality is very high). But it took me more time to get used to whether I really liked the "Scopes," which are vastly different from other mobile systems. But the main problem is that with the Meizu MX4 and other Ubuntu-based phones coming to market, there are still very few apps available. Unless millions of consumers suddenly decide to buy an Ubuntu phone, the problem will continue.

Brief summary

If you want a more open mobile device with iOS or Android and are satisfied with relatively simple functions like taking photos, browsing the web, listening to music and watching videos, then the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition is a good choice. The Meizu MX4 Ubuntu version is expected to be available in Europe in April, and Canonical expects it to cost the same as the Meizu MX4 Android version with the same specifications, at $450.
