I don't have any experience with the brand either but the device looks good. I checked the specs of the Android MX3 and it has an Exynos 5. I doubt that the Ubuntu version will be using the same chipset.

Well, phonearena says MX3 may come to US in 3rd quarter. Could the Ubuntu phone and MX3 for US be the same? Hmmmm, A little before the Note 4 would arrive. Perhaps a tough decision lies ahead....

Question: how is the brand. never seen a device from Meizu
In China queues form whenever a new Meizu is released.
I've never seen a Meizu in the flesh but I think it's regarded as the prestige brand in China.

Agree with vetsin, dont see Ubuntu Touch running in any chipset different than Qualcomm ones at the moment ( Bear in mind the whole development has been done mostly on the Nexus 4).

"Ubuntu has already been adapted to run on chipsets using ARM and Intel x86 architectures, with the core system based around a typical Android Board Support Package (BSP).

In short, if you already make handsets that run Android, the work needed to adopt Ubuntu for smartphones will be trivial."
I think it would be a bit of a PR disaster for Canonical if their first flagship device was an existing Android handset that had its specs reduced because Ubuntu couldn't cope. Any positive reviews would be drowned out by the crowing of Android fanboys.

OMGUbuntu emphasises the word major but that distinction got lost on some of the other sites.
