It seems that 2017 will be a year of rest for Ubuntu Touch and Ubuntu Phone, a year in which we will not see any new devices or great news. Recently there has been talk of the next OTA-15, an OTA that will be launched in a few days and it will not contain news in the operating system but it will be important for users of the mobile operating system.
The new update will be known as maintenance, an update that will improve the operating system, at least allow us to use it without any problem for us or for the use.
Ubuntu Phone bugs will be the focus of the next OTA-15, at this point the new version will correct the main known and not so well known bugs that present problems to users.
The new OTA-15 will make Ubuntu Phone more stable and functional
Recently a problem has been known in the web browser of the operating system that makes it impossible to load web pages with https certificateThis is serious because the current web is oriented to this type of pages and certificates.
Without forgetting that online stores use these technologies so that people buy through it. This problem does not appear in all terminals as it only occurs when the certificate expires in the browser, although this does not really happen in a desktop browser. This problem will be corrected this year, possibly in the next OTA-15 although we do not know for sure that this will happen in the OTA-15 and not in the next OTA-16.
In any case, it seems that we will not have new functions, such as energy saving, some electronic wallet, etc ... Functions that could make Ubuntu Phone more competent compared to its Android and iOS rivals. And also because having new functions means that there will be new mobiles, but it will take time to see it ...
