Bad news for those who were waiting for new updates to Ubuntu Touch, at least in large part of the Nexus family. And is that Canonical has announced that from now on, only receive official support for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013) mobile terminals operating system. Thus, the initiative arose as an alternative to Android changing a strategy for the future will it work?
The company has justified this decision on the grounds that his desire to centralize all its resources in the most recent hardware. However, these statements are somewhat contradictory, when you consider that unlike the Nexus 4, yes you will still have support 5 does the Nexus has never come to be included within the project , despite being a much newer model.
Thus, the devices lose official support for Ubuntu Touch are Galaxy Nexus – terminal where the operating system debuted – 7 first generation Nexus and Nexus 10 . It appears that for now, the Nexus 4 will reference hardware for optimizing the system as a Nexus smartphone version while 7 (2013) will be for tablets.
Fight
operating systems
The truth is that this story is not too optimistic for the future that can have Ubuntu Touch. Recall that the project, unlike other platforms that are committed to have their own terminals, based its growth creating alternative ROMS for models on the market and available . When compared with other projects like CyanogenMod 11 which features support for 65 devices, Ubuntu Touch gets bogged down with two leaves doubts about the path it will take about Canonical.
Now with Android and iOS dominate the market for mobile operating systems, Windows Phone as the third advancing BlackBerry system and a weakened have not stopped new alternatives arise as Sailfish OS and terminals Jolla. Will you need Ubuntu Touch take the final leap to hardware if you want to be part of the pie?
