Mar 26, 2015 15:27 GMT  ·  By

We are extremely happy to report that the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition smartphone, which will be known forever as the first Ubuntu Phone device made, has just arrived today at our headquarters in the European Union, so we’ve decided to make a short unboxing video to show you guys what’s in the box.

Softpedia acquired the Ubuntu-powered phone from the BQ Online Store in the second flash sale, which took place on the morning of February 19, 2015. It took approximately 1 month for the device to arrive, but that’s only because BQ started shipping the Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition to customers in the European Union on March 20.

The BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition phone is a pretty cool device that boasts a modest Quad Core Cortex A7 processor from MediaTek running at 1.3 GHz, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory, a qHD 4.5-inch display with a 960x540 resolution, 240 ppi (HDPI) and 16:9 aspect ratio, an 8MP rear camera that offers Full HD (1080p) video, a 5MP front camera, dual micro-SIM, micro-USB OTG slot, a MicroSD slot that supports up to 32GB, and a 2150 mAh LiPo battery.

A new Ubuntu Phone flash sale will take place today, March 26

Will now let you enjoy the short unboxing video below to see what you’ll get when your BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition smartphone will arrive at your doorsteps, assuming you've ordered one, of course. You didn’t get the chance to buy an Ubuntu Phone device from BQ? No worries, a new flash sale has been confirmed for today, March 26, so go get one right now!

This time, BQ will most probably deliver the smartphones immediately, which means that if you buy the device today, it should arrive sometime at the end of next week. In previous flash sales, BQ also offered a free, special case for the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition phone, but, unfortunately, we didn’t get one in the box, that’s why you won’t see it in the unboxing video below. Stay tuned for a hands-on video and a full review of the first ever Ubuntu Phone in the coming days.
