Ubuntu Touch – First Impressions on Volla Phone
My first impressions of Ubuntu Touch running on the Volla Phone.
I show a general overview of the system.
What do you think about Ubuntu Touch?
Is it too cumbersome? How about performance?
Would you rather choose Android than Ubuntu Touch?
this keyboard make me wanna puke wash it please
so expensive. even windows phone was around 250$. sorry but for a smartphone light with such limited features plus open source os, you shouldn't sold it for 400$. between 150$ and 200$ like pinephone is more decent.
Can you confirm the addition of google contacts in the contacts app in Ubuntu Touch?
It seems like all Linux phones are slow.
Does Anbox work on this phone?
Great video. Can I ask if this phone can do something as simple as phone calls and texting?
Has anyone been able o get a usb dac working on UT or sailfish?, it works normally on android, I really want to make it work as mediatek sound is just awful.
Hi Leszek, is it possible to install Volla OS in a phone with Ubuntu Touch? Have you seen any phone running Volla OS? How compatible is VOS with android open source ?
If you merge anything with google, it’s google I don’t want it?
It's a bit on the slow side still I see, I remember trying it in my nexus 5 around the time Sailfish 2.0 came out, seems it hasn't improved much
In fact I find ubuntu on a phone to be surprisingly sexy! Obviously it could be faster to open native apps but this probably comes from the old hardware.
Wow, what a horrible display!
Great video. I’m using Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 5 & 7. They’re in great condition, but they are 8 years old. The Volla Phone seems like a great alternative, but I don’t think it’s sold in North America. One thing I learned from this video is that Ubuntu Touch supports a fingerprint reader. Never seen anyone demo that on Youtube before.
Leszek great video, thanks! Are you gonna try KDE Mobile at some point as well?
👍.
FTR When you are in carousel mode you can swipe down on and application to close it. It was bugging me when you said you couldn't go back to the desktop with an open app and how many you had open uncessrily. 😉
