BQ Aquaris M10 FHD

Description

The first Ubuntu tablet and the first to offer desktop-mobile convergence, the rear camera shoots surprisingly good stills, particularly HDR mode. A quad-core powers the M10, 64-bit MediaTek MT8163 SoC clocked at 1.3GHz in the HD model and 1.5GHz in the FHD model reviewed here. 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.

You are viewing data for an obsolete Ubuntu Touch release that is kept for historical reasons, please use the latest stable release instead.

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.
