Ubuntu for Phones vs Android Jelly Bean Comparison | Pocketnow

Ubuntu for Phones is the newest official platform on the market … sort of. It’s only available as a developer preview, and Canonical, the firm that created the platform, has yet to iron out some pretty large kinks. Android is the reigning champ. Ubuntu for Phones and Android Jelly Bean go toe to toe in this David and Goliath comparison video.

  • Seems like Ubuntu is not that responsive like iOS or BB10. Still, it's faster and much more beautiful than Android.

    I would say: BB10 > Ubuntu > iOS > Android

  • I thought a robot was talking the whole time.

  • Hi miss something very important, whats up with google play? There is an ubuntu market or something like that or what? Are compatible android apps with Ubuntu phone?

  • how did you put ubuntu touch on that phone  and what phone is this ?

  • they keep going oh you plug in keyboard and mouse and screen its like why would I want to try and use my phone or my tablet for this they are meant to be portable not hocked in like a PC. So the just get a PC they go the phone and tablet contain the same tech as your PC they do not they arnt as fast and the hard drives and sd cards arnt

  • they keep going its not a lock screen and its this new invetion its a dam lock screen you have to go to that when you go to use the phone and then just like android you can use password or no password

  • Here, latency is more a function of the hardware than the software.  You're not comparing apples to apples.  My Moto G is the fastest thing I've used, because it has a quad-core CPU and plenty of dedicated RAM to keep it going.  It can multitask and isn't handicapped by a one-button function as the Samsung on the video.  It's not the best phone for certain things, like taking a picture, but my point is that the latency isn't going to change as much of a function of the OS.

  • No way I'm going to be rocking an OS with a gay name.. Jelly bean.. What's next? Snow flake?

  • Ubuntu is for people who want to learn while android is for people who prefer the name ios is for the simple people

  • 1. you can get tons of free great launchers and lockers in the app store 
    2. navigating thru android is actually not that hard 
    3. there's probably gonna be an ubuntu laucher soon, under development or probably a prototype or even out there now
    4. that ubuntu os seems to look like combination of ios, bb os, symbian, windows and android, so they're already EXISTING features

    that seems like a great o.s. but it seems to be just reflections of what other developers have already done, just saying

  • I'm definitely gonna buy ubuntu phone when it comes out. The reasons are, ubuntu OS offers a different interface than the other OSes that already came out in the market (firefox os, android, iphone, blackberry). For me, it's much friendly looking, and easy to use. The second reason is that when you hook up this device to an external monitor, you get a complete working PC (running ubuntu for computer) and what I mean by that is that the interface will be like a PC interface, not a smartphone interface running on a big monitor like android which isn't nice to look at.

  • Ubuntu… First thing is that the touch screen's latency is really big comparing to android, while android has the biggest latency amongst, iOS and Windows Phone 8.

  • Se ve interesante, si lo instalo en mi Galaxy Note 3 y por alguna razón no me gusta… puedo regresar a Android o es mas complicado de lo que parece?

  • I would really like to try a Ubuntu phone

  • Ubuntu es un so, no trae en su sistema navegador, si lo trae en celulares es por que los demas lo hacen, para usar internet en ubuntu se usa firefox, el so esta pensado asi

  • i would want a lock screen for security .never mind warm and fuzzy

  • I thought you was COMPARING and CONTRASTING THE TWO? All I heard was Compare and Bash.

  • With it's gestures Ubuntu seems to be similar to use as Windows 8, which would be great, because I'm already used to that on my tablet. My Windows Phone just isn't as intuitive to use …

  • its pronounced oo-boon-too. come on you're supposed to know this stuff.

  • PS Even Windows 8 has turned into this craptastic epic fail with it's insane OS.

  • I hate Jelly Bean with it's vague and ambiguous settings, apps, and craptastic navigation.

  • look like it sucks,but i said same thing on android 1.6, so lets wait and hope that ios will disappear .

  • Windows phone > sailfish > android > Ubuntu mobile > blackberry > ios

  • Maybe my English is still not good, I'll take a few more courses!
    All distributions are Linux I wrote before, except for me Android.

    If an OS is Linux only by using your kernel, Ok, Android is Linux, but where I find the source code of the video(GPU) drivers?, is this open source or not?, I need to make some improvements for me. I do not want to program in Java, I like C / + +, NDK is the solution?… "Dont' be evil" lately, your are the evil.. Google.
    Sorry, It's just my opinion.

  • With your logic any type of Linux that branches off another distribution is not Linux. But, no Android has a Linux kernel, just like any other Linux distro. Making it a distribution of Linux which you argued against before. I was tired and simply typed out a poor response wit no proof reading.

  • Man.. Debian, Fedora Arch, SUSE, CentOS, Madriva, Slax, Slackware, Ubuntu, Kubuntu and anothers are Linux distributions.

  • No, ubuntu is debian if you want to get technical, which is ubuntu. And this is ubuntu phone, which is based on ubuntu.

  • Hi!, Dude, Android is NOT Linux, Android runs on/over Dalvik(VM) and it runs on Linux.
    Hola Compa!, Android NO es Linux, Android corre sobre Dalvik(VM) y esta corre en Linux.
    Linux<-Dalvik<-Android.
    Ubuntu is/es LINUX.

  • Duh it is. I'm a developer. I just want a more pure flavor of Linux on a phone. More control.
