In many ways, the features presented are similar to what we saw in Ubuntu Phone, but there are some peculiarities as well, which I wanted to translate about. Also, the translation may be of interest to those who do not like texts in English.

The text turned out to be large, errors in the text will probably be found, but I will try to catch them as quickly as possible. I apologize for the inconvenience :)

Easy navigation with magical edges


Use all four edges of the screen to navigate between applications, settings, and controls. There are no buttons on the Ubuntu tablet, you do not have to return to the main screen again every time you want to switch the application, because switching is always available via swipe.


Quick start

The left edge contains your preferred applications, which you can get with just one click. Here you can see what is currently running, switch between applications or launch another quickly.




Systems at your service

Swipe on top for any system service, search or settings. Switch networks, turn on mobile data, change sound volume, reply to incoming messages, or block notifications without leaving the application. In fact, any system setting can be changed without losing the state of the application. This makes Ubuntu the best place to stay focused on content.




Focus on content, not management.

The Ubuntu interface is cleaner, more spacious and less cluttered, because no buttons are needed on every screen. Your information is the main thing. Swipe up at the bottom of the screen to call application controllers. Without a swipe you do not see any control buttons. You are free to focus on content: photos, web pages, music, messages and applications.

Great gallery for your digital life


The gallery app is Ubuntu's stylish standard app that lets you organize and share photos. This is a great example for application design: one application works on a phone, tablet, PC and is equally beautiful and convenient in any environment.

On the phone, you can view photos, and on the tablet you can create albums - Ubuntu will organize your photos into events by date, or you can create your own collections.

Your photos can be immediately uploaded to your personal cloud and be available on all your devices, including iOS, Android, Windows. Spread between them with just one touch.

Today, tablets are so powerful, akin to ultra-light laptops. Ubuntu clearly supports a new category of devices: add a keyboard and mouse, and your Ubuntu tablet becomes a full-fledged PC and thin client, with access to Windows applications through standard protocols from Microsoft, Citrix, VMware and Wyse. This allows enterprises to deploy unified, secure, portable enterprise devices for all types of applications.

Since this is pure ubuntu, tablets can be controlled through Landscape, giving enterprises complete control over users, applications, using the same tool that is used on both desktop and servers now.
