The guys did another Q&A just before the Easter holidays, which you can watch entirely at the end of the article if you don’t feel like reading all that follows, but we will try to keep things to the point, informing our readers only about the most important aspects they need to keep in mind about the future of Ubuntu Phones. So, regarding the future of existing Ubuntu Phones/Tablets, UBports said that except for the Meizu PRO 5 and BQ Aquaris M10 devices, they’d offer legacy support for the older models, which include BQ Aquaris E4.5, BQ Aquaris E5 HD, and Meizu MX4. Legacy support meaning these devices will only receive security fixes.
