    From the 9th February 2015, Canonical's partner, BQ has announced that Ubuntu Touch will be pre-installed and can be purchased on-line. This phone is intended for the European market only.

    Meizu has finally confirmed that it plans to use an MX4 device to present the Ubuntu system at Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona (March 2 and 5). This phone is intended for the European and Chinese market only with April as an expected release month.

    Specs

    Quad-core 2.2 GHz Cortex A17 processor and a quad-core 1.7 GHz A7 processor, and the two are used in tandem or separately, depending on needs.

    It also comes with a 5.36-inch Sharp/JDI display, at a 1920 x 1152 resolution, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and a 20.7-megapixel back camera (2MP on the front one).

  2. The BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is now availble in the BQ web shop for the EU-European market, but still the only model with Ubuntu pre-installed.

    EDIT: Some days ago the BQ Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition has been released.
