A few more features have also landed for the OS

The Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition is now available for purchase, and anyone can get one from the official website, and the latest update for the Ubuntu Touch that's powering it has brought some serious improvements to it.

Ubuntu for phones is constantly being improved on, and major patches are published all the time. Each new update brings new functionality, new features, improvements, and too many fixes to count. It's also true that the OS is still young, and there is a lot of room for changes.

There were a few things that affected the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition, but the developers were aware of everything that was brought forth by the community and they've made serious changes that greatly improved the performance. Some of you might remember that the same happened when the BQ phones were released. When the devices are in the hands of regular users and those people send back precious feedback, everyone gets to win.

Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition features much better battery life

One of the things that kept popping out in comments and observations from the community was that the battery life was problematic, to say the least. It turns out that there was a small bug that needed to be corrected. Since the latest Ubuntu patch has landed (OTA-5), the battery life has almost doubled for Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition.

Another couple of important changes have landed as well. First of all, Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition has a big display, so the developers are now making allowances to have four app icons per row, which makes a huge difference. The other improvement is the implementation of LED notification for the nice home button. This also has very big impact on functionality.

If you have the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition, all you need to do is to update your OS and reboot. We also have a review for the phone, if you want more details.
