its not that simple to get manufactors to release open drivers or specs.

If that ubuntu phone releases full open source its probadly X86 HW only because Intel is the only company who may have open GFX drivers...

edit: whoops I guess thats why they name it edge:

That means Canonical also will include a fan for free to your ubuntu phone
