Hi Pat, Thank you very much for your valuable input. I apologize for not coming back to you earlier, as I've been busy with my "offline life".
I would be very glad if the scopes get released for all phones in the future, as what I really like about Ubuntu is its openness. However, I can also understand if manufacturers decide they do not want to do so. After all, scopes help them differentiate their phones... With regards to their speeds, I haven't thought of the different screen sizes of the Nexus 4 and the BQ Aquaris yet. This finally explains why the Aquaris seemed to be slightly faster than the Nexus 4 in the video. My guess was that the support for the Aquaris was better due to a fact that it generated income, but your explanation is totally plausible! Thank you very, very much for your answer again. I really appreciate it. :) Cheers, Niklas 2015-02-10 19:46 GMT+01:00 Pat McGowan <[email protected]>: > > > On Tue, Feb 10, 2015 at 9:00 AM, Niklas Wenzel <[email protected] > > wrote: > >> Hi, >> > > Hi Niklas > >> >> During the last few days, I've come up with a few questions which I >> haven't found answers to yet: >> >> 1) Some time ago, I read that the Nexus 4 is still going to be supported >> after the launch of the BQ phone. >> Now I'm wondering whether the new set of scopes (Today, Nearby, etc.) >> will be included in the mako images.
