BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition does things differently to Android and iPhone

five or something new I'm richer try no
mercy net that lists the BQ aquaris e5
Ubuntu Edition and a bun - is a new
operating system that does things a
little bit differently so one of the
interesting things about the bun - is
that it doesn't do much with the
hardware buttons it's all done on the
screen so this is a version of the phone
that's an existing Android model but
with a plenty software in it so we don't
actually have these Android familiar
icons in the finished version it doesn't
have a camera button for example it just
has volume buttons and a power button on
the side so the main difference between
a Bunty and Android and other types of
smartphone operating system is that it
will necessarily have apps it has scopes
and they're like home screens where you
can have different sources and services
and publications or pull into one place
so for example here's your today scope
which shows you the weather your
calendar appointments and recent
messages and recent news or what's xx
trending on Twitter that kind of thing
so here's your new scope which has the
headlines from different sources and
different publications so you can see
what's going on in the world and the
nother scope is nearby which has little
location services so for example you
pull in restaurant reviews if you were
hungry if you are on the move you could
see traffic updates and that and the
weather and that kind of thing one of
the clever things about scopes is they
combined sources that you might have had
to keep in different apps on other
phones so for example in the Photos app
you've got the photos that you've taken
on your camera itself then you've also
got your Instagram photos on the same
page so as well as being kind of home
screens you can have individual branded
scopes made by publishers and services
so here in the music service we can see
the music scope we can see seven digital
SoundCloud Songkick YouTube and so on
and if you want you can add lots of
different sources Grooveshark
YouTube and all the rest and then when
you click on individual one you will go
through to the actual branded scope so
for example here's the song kick one
allows you to see events in song kick
made by the publisher themself so winter
is controlled by swiping in from
different sides of the screen for
example if you swipe in from the top you
can control all your settings like
Network brightness battery settings all
that kind of thing if you swipe in from
the right you can move through all the
apps and scopes that you have open at
the moment swipe
the ones that you don't want and quickly
open up the ones that you aren't open
swipe in from the left for the launcher
which has all your favorite apps in
there for quick access or you can go
straight back to the home escape and if
you swipe up from the bottom you can
manage your scopes and change the order
they appear and show which ones you want
to show so another clever feature is
that when you get a new text message it
will appear in the notifications at the
top so you can simply tap on it and
reply straight away so this first of one
two phone is going on sale in a series
of flash sales throughout 2015 I'm rich
at home and this is the BQ aquaris e5
point five of them to addition
