Before a month, the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition was launched in China with a price of ¥1,799 (about $290). Now, the smartphone has officially arrived in Europe for 299 Euros (about $334). The handset is available with the invite-only system in the form of an interactive origami wall on Meizu’s website.

According to the officials, “The wall will be filled with fun and glimpses of the Meizu Ubuntu phone along with several invitations which will be randomly generated daily.”

The Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition comes with a 5.36-inch (1920 x 1152 pixels) IPS display, a 15: 9 aspect ratio, and 2.6mm slim bezels sides. The display features an 85% increase in NTSC color gamut, 1100:1 contrast ratio, and a brightness of up to 600 nits. Powered by a  2.1 GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6595 processor, the Phone runs on Ubuntu-based OS.

The MX4 Ubuntu Edition houses a 20.7-megapixel rear shooter with dual-tone LED flash, 1/2.3″ Sony IMX 220 Exmor RS sensor, a pixel size of 1.2 microns, two dedicated ISPs for 0.3-second focus speed, 20-second long exposure, and 4K video recording.

Commenting on the launch, Cristian Parrino, VP Mobile, Canonical, said, “Meizu pioneered the new wave of innovative Chinese manufacturers of high quality, high-end devices which have mastered the user-centric distribution model that is so popular in China. Their hunger for breaking down current ecosystem dynamics makes them a perfect partner for Ubuntu.”

On this occasion, Li Nan, VP, Meizu, said, “We’re proud to be partnering with Ubuntu on our first major smartphone launch in Europe, which is a huge milestone for us. Ubuntu is breaking down new barriers in mobile user experience and ecosystem development, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”
