Ubuntu Phone? Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition

[Sixthsense]

Let’s start with the good stuff: It sports a 4.5-inch multi-touch screen and a respectable 8-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel lens on the front. That’s pretty much it.
The list of negatives is a bit longer: That totally adequate 4.5-inch display measurement hides the more important number, which is a 540 by 960-pixel screen resolution. That’s actually 96,000 fewer pixels than on the iPhone 4.

Amigo...you didn't quote the most moronic point of the device. SRSLY. Ubuntu is releasing a phone in 2015 that doesn't do LTE. I'm not shitting you. Nevermind the rest of the specifications that are from 2011 or 2012, who willingly buys a phone today without LTE all else aside?

I remember seeing something like this last year....put it this way Amazon still has $80,000,000 of inventory of Fire Phones unsold from their attempt to foist obsolete hardware on people.

You're looking at this from a fairly narrow North American perspective.

There are many people who can't afford LTE phones, or don't live in LTE areas. And I don't just mean developing parts of the world, like China or India -- that's true even in Europe. Ubuntu will eventually have to reach higher-end devices if it's going to appeal to everyone, but it's not the solemn duty of phone makers to build flagship phones for the sake of people on tech forums.

There's LTE in most countries in the EU...which is the only place this device is being sold....excuse me not "sold" being offered...."sold" entails someone is actually buying it.
