Ubuntu Touch, UBports’s privacy-first mobile operating system, has just released OTA-8 for Ubuntu Touch 20.04.
One key highlight is rolling out VoLTE (Voice over LTE) capability again on Volla Phone X23 and Volla Phone 22, both of which run Halium 12. According to the developers, more devices will be added to this list in the future.
Another big step forward is the newly added ability to connect to WPA3-encrypted Wi-Fi networks, addressing a growing user demand for modern, more robust wireless protection. At the same time, users can now remove a picture from a contact entry.
In addition to the above-mentioned changes, various updates are drawn from both upstream Ubuntu and UBports itself. While the change list may appear minimal, it’s packed with behind-the-scenes improvements designed to enhance Ubuntu Touch’s overall reliability and security.
Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-8 is being delivered to a range of supported devices, including:
- Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC / X3
- Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
