The UBports Foundation announced over the weekend the availability for public testing of the forthcoming Ubuntu Touch OTA-12 software update for Ubuntu Phone devices.

Many months in development, Ubuntu Touch OTA-12 promises major changes to the mobile operating system for Ubuntu Phone devices. Of course, the biggest new feature will be the new Lomiri interface. Well, it’s not really new to the Ubuntu Touch developers as, in fact, it’s the old Unity 8 interface initially developed by Canonical for their version of Ubuntu Touch.
