You may well have noticed the most recent Volla Kickstarter for the Volla Phone Quintus. The Quintus is a marked step-up in specification from the Volla Phone 22 and will again be available in Volla OS and Ubuntu Touch versions. More than that, it is the world's first smartphone with the option for an integrated cloud service that uses networked smartphones.
You will know all about UT but, for those who don't know, Volla OS is based on the Android Open Source Project and has both Aurora Store and F-Droid Store and, if you don't need to use GPS apps, microG can be activated.
To celebrate the release of Volla Phone Quintus, along with our friends at Volla we will again be offering a few incentives to preorder the Quintus and also a raffle later in the year. More details to follow, so keep an eye on our news channels.
The Volla Phone Quintus will be available to preorder from the Volla shop, https://volla.online/de/shop, for those in Europe or from Indiegogo for worldwide purchases.
Also don't forget the Volla tablet is already on Indiegogo and also available from the Volla shop to preorder for October, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/volla/volla-phone-quintus
Work on our new website is moving at a pace now with the first builds underway. There will be more on the new website in the next newsletter.
Ratchanan Srirattanamet was at COSCUP in Taiwan at the start of the month for UBports and Ubuntu Touch
Ratchanan gave a talk on day two of COSCUP titled “Ubuntu Touch: Freedom of choice in a mobile operating space”, which went down well from what we hear. Unfortunately, no recording was made to watch back.
Focal 20.04 OTA-5
OTA-5 has been released with all the changes and information to be found in the release blog, https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-5-focal-release-3933
OTA-5 has been out for a few weeks now, so you should all have updated and be using and enjoying it by now. This may well prove to be the last OTA for 20.04, as work is concentrating on 24.04 and getting that ready for release.
You may have noticed that the OTA banner and phone background have not changed with this OTA. This is what happens when release occurs during the holiday period. Still it gives you time to enjoy Joan Cibersheeps work for OTA-4 again.
