The next generation smart phone is upon us. Ubuntu Edge will be one of the first smart phone designs to cross the barrier between personal computing and personal telephone use, giving users a pocket computer that is able to make phone calls. Design no doubt takes after the ground breaking iPhone design; attention to detail, practical durability, and sleekness, which Apple prides themselves on. Software development for the Ubuntu Edge however, will fall far far away from the distribution and authentication norms currently visible with the iPhone and Apple App Store. The operating system on the Edge will likely mimic that of the Android OS, giving users hack-ability and customization opportunities; the roots of open source Linux software.
The Ubuntu Edge case will be precision engineered and will feel like a good solid peace of hardware. The canonical logo, circle of friends, is elegantly embossed on the rubberized backing of the smart phone. Size wise, the Edge is slightly smaller than a Samsung Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It is slightly larger in size than the Apple iPhone 4.
It will have the fastest multi-core processor on the market, as well as boasting 4 GB of ram and 120 GB of storage, excellent for carrying around music, videos, and applications. These incredible hardware specifications will allow the phone boot a fully functioning Ubuntu OS as well as Android, making it the first dual-booting device on the market. The Ubuntu Edge will also come with an 4.5" HD Screen at 1280 x 720 pixels protected by a super hard Sapphire Crystal display. It has an 8 mega-pixel low light camera on the back and a 2 mega-pixel front camera.As far as the connectivity is concerned it will have 4G LTE, 802.11 N Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.
