The Aquaris E4.5 and Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition handsets are set to launch in India through Snapdeal. This follows on from two successful Aquaris Ubuntu Edition handsets launched in Europe earlier this year; the Aquaris E4.5 in February, and the Aquaris E5 in June.

Ubuntu is built to provide the Linux server to desktops, phones, tablets and TV operating systems. The Ubuntu project is publicly committed to the principles of open-source software development wherein people are encouraged to use free software, study how it works, improve upon it, and distribute it. There has been palpable demand for these Ubuntu Phones in India by Ubuntu fans since the Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition was launched earlier this year. India has long been, and continues to be, a priority market for Ubuntu, having had a successful and established PC business in the region for many years.

The sleek, 8GB Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition features a five megapixel front camera and eight megapixel rear camera with autofocus, dual flash and full HD (1080p) for super sharp video. It boasts a MediaTek Quad Core Cortex A7 processor and 1GB RAM for a faster experience.

The Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition comes with a host of impressive features including a 5’’ display with IPS HD technology, HD screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and 380 cd/m2 maximum brightness. The device features a five megapixel front camera and thirteen megapixel rear camera, equipped with high quality Largan lenses and BSI sensors.

Both devices will be available in black colour and come fully unlocked with dual SIM functionality so that users can select their operator of choice and can use SIMs from two different operators at the same time.The handsets will come with all the same great Scopes available on the European Editions along with new ones created especially with Indian users in mind. Some of the new Scopes on offer include Zomato, Star Plus, Zee TV, Eros Now, NDTV and Times of India.

The launch of these Ubuntu OS phones in india has given smartphone users one more OS to lay their hands on apart from the currently present Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.

The Aquaris E4.5 and Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Editions will be available for purchase by end of August from Snapdeal for Rs 11,999 for the Aquaris E4.5 and Rs 13,499 for the Aquaris E5.
