A mobile phone and a tablet with Ubuntu. Those are the two products that BQ presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. A mobile, the Aquaris X5 Plus, which is situated in the upper area of the midrange but with arguments to try to gain a foothold in this segment. The impressions were good during the short time they could try. More complicated it has the tablet, Aquaris Ubuntu Edition M10, which has good ideas but competes in a field cannibalized by the iPad and the Surface.
The Aquaris X5 Plus comes with interesting news in the section ‘ hardware’. Those responsible are a CPU Octa-Core Snapdragon 652 and Adreno 510 GPU, according to officials of the Spanish firm, are mounted so that both pieces can access the RAM simultaneously.
talk may sound like Latin but first impressions with the terminal, hipervitaminada Aquaris version X5, are more than satisfactory. That phone architecture translates into a terminal that moves with ease, both applications that demand powerful graphics and navigation.
You also can not detract from the exterior of the X5 Aquaris Plus, home to some interesting secrets . It will have a fingerprint reader, although the version we’ve seen yet not incorporated; has metallic finishes in black, silver and pink gold, and has an improved able to detect distortions in the sound recording to prioritize exposed to extreme wind or background noise microphone. Abandoning plastic suits him great.
The rear camera 16MP, comes on the heels of a native camera application and a sensor that allows detection approach is responsible for locating element highlight the image to process approach and shot faster. The camera has a ‘flash LEDs capable of emitting light warm or cold, depending on the situation. That ‘flash’ has disappeared from the front camera, 8MP, which opt for illuminating the display -of 5 “Full HD-to create a similar effect.
In this section, you can suffer greatly against other phones that have camera its greatest asset. The OnePlus 2 is one of those examples, at a similar price, offer better benefits.
The Aquaris X5 Plus will come with Android 6.0.1 and a preview of “close to the summer” release date in words of those responsible for the Spanish firm. The price has not been confirmed, but will be below 400 euros, and will hide a final sales pitch that will make you very attractive from the competition: the battery, 3100 mAh. We could not test it thoroughly, but it should go more than a day of ample way.
This battery is one of the best ambassadors of the phone against rivals midrange segment having increasing more competition terminal aspect ‘premium’ and the cost of moving about 300 or 400 euros
This tablet aims ways
the tablet market is a very ungrateful sector beyond iPad and the Surface Pro. Bq will not reinvent the wheel with Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition has presented but, at least, he has shaped a team with interesting ideas.
the tablet, the first in the world with Ubuntu, is intended for dual use, both touch format as if it were a PC, as it recognizes when a keyboard and mouse plugs and change its interface to a traditional windowing environment. Convergence is the new fashion industry, and big names like Microsoft, Apple and Huawei want to lead that market.
“It’s not a workstation,” sources have said the firm, who wanted to leave clear that the machine can develop a lot of work “that focuses on navigation and light office.” What yes it is clear is the fact that Android continues to leave a large place to the operating system of Google in the slope of the tablets, which never managed to materialize.
One of the most interesting additions the M10 Aquaris Ubuntu Edition, the Spanish company added in the ‘smartphone’ Aquaris E4.5, they are called ‘scopes’. It is a kind of aggregators which combine different content: pictures, music, videos, news. They are a traditional feature of Ubuntu that simplifies the user experience. Why look for a picture that we do not remember if we go to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram you can have them all together, and sorted according to the source, in the same tab?
In a first test, both the touch version as the desktop operating smoothly and is easy to use, so the fact come with Ubuntu default should not be a problem for a user unaccustomed to Linux. The move appears to be more focused on the niche ‘linuxero’ that catch new users.
The Aquaris Ubuntu Edition M10 has still no release date or price. Bq ensures that hit the market “in the second quarter” and will look similar to M10 released in late 2015. Price The tablet will feature a 10.1 “screen, quad-core MediaTek processor 1.5 GHz, 16GB storage, 2GB of RAM and a 7,280 mAh battery.
