This is not a Linux tablet in that hacked-up sense. It's Ubuntu Phone. I've been using this for a year now on my Aquaris E5 and while it's not quite as smooth as IOS and Android quite yet, and that's only because my hardware is a little slow, it's definitely a full touch-oriented design from the ground up. I actually like the design better than the grid-of-icons approach. It's more sophisticated. And I'm not a zealot: I am highly critical of the buggy browser and the lack of apps, especially whatsapp.

But OS design-wise, this is absolutely not some kind of desktop UI squeezed into tablet form with a cranky layer of touch glued on top.

Can you please share (if you have the possibility to compare) how's the battery life compared with other tablets?

As per my post, mine is a phone, not a tablet. But it's the same OS. As far as the phone is concerned, I get 2 days easily in normal use (lots of browsing), and 3 days if light use. I would estimate it at 1.5-2x longer battery life than an iphone. It's definitely impressive. But again, I can only speak for the BQ Aquaris E5 phone.

I read that the UI is not even smooth on the Meizu Pro 5, which isn't a slow phone.
