How well supported is the Nexus 4 by Ubuntu Touch?

Question

Is the Nexus 4 supported on same the level as the Aquaris E4.5 (is there HERE maps or other turn-by-turn navigation; Nearby scope)? Is there possibility that they will stop supporting Nexus suddenly in a year?

Answer 1

• Nexus 4 does have HERE.
• Nexus 4 does not have all the scopes that BQ ships with.
• There is a real risk that Nexus 4 official updates will stop in the future. It is not a shipped product that has paying customers. It's just a developer reference device. And those change.
• Nexus 4 is showing its age. You can't get it direct from Google anymore. And it's performance is adequate but not impressive. For example, Cut the Rope does not run in a playable fashion on a Nexus 4, but it does on the BQ device.
