The UBports team will port Ubuntu Touch to OnePlus 3
If all goes according to the UBports team’s plans, OnePlus 3 may unofficially be powered by Ubuntu Touch. Ubuntu developer,ย Marius Gripsgรฅrd from UBports.com told Softpedia that they had acquired a OnePlus 3 and would soon be porting Ubuntu Touch onto it.
Gripsgรฅrd has already put aย special pageย UBports.com website where he has codenamed his upcoming venture as “op3.”
One Plus has recently released its latest flagship iteration, OnePlus 3 smartphone. OnePlus 3 boasts a pretty decent configuration with 5-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with Full HD (1080×1920) resolution and a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 chipset.
The smartphone is powered by Dual-Core 2.15 GHz Kryo and Dual-Core 1.6 GHz Kryo CPUs, as well as the Adreno 530 GPU. Marius Gripsgรฅrd has told us that he is thrilled that OnePlus 3 has 6 GB of RAM, which makes the device perfect for convergence.
For connectivity OnePlus 3 has Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.2 LE connectivity, A-GPS, GLONASS, and BDS GPS support. It has 64 GB internal storage, a 16 MP f/2.0 front camera capable of 2160p@30fps video recording, and a fingerprint reader.
If you are Linux fan, you can also run Ubuntu mobile OS on it. We will be posting a separate tutorial for the same.
