Elegance, distilled
Designed to make all your phone content easier to access and your
apps more immersive – every edge has a specific purpose, making all your
apps, content and controls instantly accessible, without navigating
back to the home screen every time. And the Ubuntu phone fits perfectly
into the wider family of Ubuntu interfaces, alongside the PC and TV.
It's a uniquely, beautifully converged experience.
Ubuntu uses simple natural swiping gestures from the edges of the
screen to make it easier than ever to access your content and switch
between apps. Every edge of the phone is used, letting you move faster
between apps, settings and content.
Favourite apps
A short swipe from the left edge of the screen is all it takes to
reveal your favourite apps. There’s room for everything you use daily,
available instantly from the welcome screen or any application. Ubuntu
lets you switch faster between running and favourite apps than any other
phone.
Always running
Page either left or right from the home screen to see the content
you use most. A full left-to-right swipe reveals a screen showing all
your open apps, while a swipe from the right brings you instantly to the
last app you were using. Switching between running applications has
never been quicker or easier.
Going back
A swipe from the right edge takes you back to the last app you were
using; another swipe takes you back to the app you used before that.
It’s natural to keep many apps open at once, which is why Ubuntu was
designed for multi-tasking. No other smartphone lets you switch between
applications this quickly
Content, not controls
Swiping up from the bottom edge of the phone reveals app controls.
You can hide or reveal them instantly, which means they don’t take up
room on the screen, leaving you free to focus on the stuff
that matters. Immerse yourself in your photos, web pages, music, messages and apps
Just tell your phone what you’re looking for and watch the results
come in. If it’s a person, you’ll see data from your email and phone
contacts alongside Facebook friends and followers on Twitter. Looking
for music? Ubuntu doesn’t just search your phone. It also searches
online retailers including Amazon and the Ubuntu One Music Store,
putting the whole world of music at your fingertips, alongside your
personal collection.
Your phone will find it, let Ubuntu do the work.
We bring the world to your fingertips, and organise it all
beautifully. Swipe from the home screen to filter your searches to apps,
people, music and so on. Swipe from the top to see your incoming
messages. Everything is stylish, elegant and crisp.
Ubuntu reinvents the inbox, giving you quicker access to all your
emails, texts, calls and social media posts. See every message as it
comes in and reply in an instant; just swipe down from the top when a
new one arrives and respond directly to Facebook, Twitter, email, SMS
and good old-fashioned telephone calls.
The Gallery makes it easier than ever to organise, find and share
your photos. Every shot is instantly uploaded to your Ubuntu One
personal cloud account, making it available on all your devices –
including those running iOS, Android and Windows.
