Will "Ubuntu for Android" (12.04) work with the Samsung Galaxy S2?

Question

I'm trying to buy a new Android phone and I own an Ubuntu 12.04 computer...

I have the choice of a Google Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S2 and an HTC Sensation XL.

I am aware that the HTC already works with it, but I would prefer to buy the Samsung. I already have the phone hardware specifications and have checked, but I am not sure about the Samsung or the Nexus.

So which of these phones work with Ubuntu 12.04's 'Ubuntu for Android' feature?

Solution

As mentioned on the Ubuntu for Android page, the product is marketed towards handset manufacturers rather than end users. It is intended to be integrated into the firmware rather than act as an after market addition to existing phones.

None of the phones you've listed include the code in their firmware, and I don't think any have yet been released.

are you asking if you can install "Ubuntu for Android" on your phone or if your phone is compatible with Ubuntu?

Can you expand this answer to include more information and/or links? Also, the Motorola Atrix 4G runs Android. Both Android and Ubuntu are Linux-based operating systems, but Android is not Ubuntu.

Do you mean Ubuntu-phone OS that will be available 2014?
