English to Swedish Other Other Smartphones

In the build up to the consumer launch, and informal pre-launch event taking place shortly before it on Feb 6, I’ll be highlighting some of my favourite features of the phone and the mobile operating system that runs on it.

Scopes on Ubuntu Phone work very differently to their desktop counterparts. They are still little search engines, returning information and content based on whatever sources it is plugged into, but they look, feel and work far more efficiently.

As they are the “home screen” at the heart of the Ubuntu Phone experience you may be wondering what makes them so special. To answer that we need to zoom out.
