I am with Lukasz. I have been critical at times on certain topics but I consider the current Ubuntu phone state very usable.
The battery issue hasn't occured for over a year. The silent call issue maybe happened once or twice over the last year. I -like all of us I assume- do have my own set of bugs that i wish had been fixed a long time ago. But it is certainly not like androids are without bugs. The GPS sat-nav app with uNav is always spot-on now and a delight to use. Both phone and tablet connect to bt keyb & mouse which is quite usefull on occasion, sometimes connecting a large screen to the M10. Musicplayer, Telegram, Calendar, Browser etc do the job. Owncloud/NextCloud support is a real blessing etc.. But the most important thing is that I know pretty much what code is running on my phone and what my apps are doing with my data. That gives me the best feeling about this OS. And is not something I can get on any other phone that is on par with the Ubuntu touch platform. I am still using the Meizu Pro5, the M10 tablet on a daily basis. The phone is my daily driver and although I am plagued by the odd unity crash (which is not nice, but I still need to investigate myself) it certainly does not feel like a frustrating experience. Apart from these devices, I fire up a second hand Nexus5 with the UBports image regularly. This, I have to say, is the best performing UT phone I have used ever. (besides the Meizu Pro 5, I used to own a N4, a BQ e4.5 and a Galaxy Nexus. so I feel I am in a position to make that call :) ). In smoothness the Nexus5 outperforms the Meizu easily. A big, big hattip to Marius for this. The only reason I am not using it as a daily driver is the lack of dual sim, which i can't do without. I think I heard Marius state (some time ago) that once there is some kind of snap beta for phones, he would be happy to try porting that. This I guess means that besides the porting effort, would mean either rebuilding for a 32 bit platform for one of the current UBport phones, or else choosing a new 64 bit capable device and do a new port to that. So my question to Marius and the other devs at UBports is: is this still something you guys would want to do given a Canonical provided x64 beta snap image on a phone? And to Canonical: Would it be possible on -lets say- the Meizu Pro 5 to get a snap image out there that the community (starting with the UBPorts guys) could run with? (Possibly after the 17.04 release?) I believe it could be really beneficial to both if we could build an active alpha/beta testing community around an actual Ubuntu snap based phone. Cheers, Mathijs
