BQ Aquaris M10 HD

Functioning well

Description

The first Ubuntu tablet and the first to offer desktop-mobile convergence, the rear camera shoots surprisingly good stills, particularly in HDR mode. A quad-core processor powers the M10, 64-bit MediaTek MT8163 SoC clocked at 1.3GHz in the HD model and 1.5GHz in the FHD model. The GPU is a Mali-T720 MP2, clocked up to 520MHz (HD) and 600MHz (FHD). Both models have 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 64GB by plugging a card into the external MicroSD slot.

Support with casual testing

Some things are just so important that they need to be tested every day, every week, every month. Just hang around in QA group and try out the stuff that gets flagged. Without your help the developers may sit there for days more, trying to figure out the puzzle.

Join and introduce yourself “Hi, my name is X, and I own Z. How can I help?” that will do fine ;)

Unless you want to step up to become our Test Manager, but that is a whole different story.

Port Resources

How to install Ubuntu Touch OS

You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.
Unless device specific instructions are provided by the porter, please follow these general steps:

Unlock the bootloader, please search the internet for instructions
Install the required Android/stock rom version ¹
Select the appropriate installer package for your computer
Plug in your device and follow the on-screen instructions
The installer will take it from there

¹ Devices generally require a specific version of Android/stock rom to be installed. This depends on the halium version the port is build on. For example, if the port is based on halium 9, make sure you have Android version 9 installed before running the installer.
