Some quotes from the article:

"Rather amusingly, Shuttleworth's phone was running a "weeks-old" version of Ubuntu Phone."

"Canonical's engineers told me that they'd been trying to upgrade Mark's phone but hadn't yet found an opportune"

"It was slower and buggier than the tethered MX4s"

"There were quite a few slowdowns as I moved through the phone's menus—juddery"

"the software just hasn't been optimized yet for the new SoC."

"Ubuntu Phone OS lost its rather cool ability to become a desktop PC when docked."
So they can't even maintain a charger?

I'm liking the attitude of this Sebastian Anthony.

I'm surprised they could've even got it booting considering the MTK 6595 in there, with a locked bootloader, no sources, and no documentation.

So the Ubuntu OS has become another "me too"... okay.
