Meizu's Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition will be available for pre-order at MWC

If you fancy a sleek iPhone-ish looking smartphone running an operating system that's not Android or iOS, Chinese smartphone maker Meizu may have just the thing.

Meizu PRO 5 Ubuntu Edition Review

Despite Nokia ex-CEO Stephen Elop's boasts, the smartphone market has indeed become a two-horse race between Android and iOS. Of course, just because those two have pretty much cornered the mobile market doesn't mean there is no room for others,...

If I were to grade the Meizu PRO 5 right here and now, I’d probably have to very unwillingly give it a barely passing mark, or even flunk it. It has actually decent specs and a sleek design, but most things go downhill from there, whether you judge the...

Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition review

Beautiful design and build ; Large, vivid screen ; Nice ideas in interface

Slow performance ; Lack of decent apps ; Pointless - there's an Android version

While the majority of MWC 2016 is focused on Android-powered smartphones, Canonical wants to prove that Ubuntu is just as good as iOS or Android, and can work on a high-end smartphone. We went hands-on with the Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu edition at MWC 2016,...

While we're impressed with the spec and build of the Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu edition, we're not quite sold on the Ubuntu operating system - not just yet, anyway. We only had a limited time with the smartphone at MWC 2016 and with any new operating system,...
