First impressions of BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition

The BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is the world’s first Ubuntu phone, and I have had one for some days now. I shared my thoughts with Mister Mo, and he asked me to share my first impressions of the rare smartphone.

I am not a writer or a blogger, so bear with me: this article is not a detailed one. Let’s start with the key specs of the phone before I jump into my thoughts.

BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition: My first impressions

  • Not brilliant battery life – quite poor, actually. Which is no surprise, considering the measly 2150mAh capacity of the battery
  • The Keyboard is annoying to type on. It has one of the worst, if not the worst, autocorrect I’ve ever come across
  • But I love Scopes. I am still trying to figure out how to add an app to the Apps scope
  • The rear camera isn’t too bad. I am yet to try the front one. I wouldn’t expect much, though.
  • HERE Maps isn’t offline, but at least there’s a map service available
  • I should also add that it is pretty easy to find your way around the phone.
