The '''BQ Aquaris E4.5''' is an [[Software:Android (operating system)|Android]] [[Engineering:Smartphone|smartphone]] from the Spanish manufacturer BQ that was released to market in June 2014 as a budget [[Engineering:Dual SIM|dual-SIM]] phone.<ref name=bqe45android-review>{{cite web|title=bq Aquaris 4.5 Review|url=http://android-emotions.com/bq-aquaris-4-5-review/|website=Android Emotions|access-date=20 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150622180038/http://android-emotions.com/bq-aquaris-4-5-review/|archive-date=22 June 2015|url-status = dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The device shipped with Android versions starting from v4.0 and can be updated to Android 4.4.2 ([[Software:Android KitKat|KitKat]]). BQ elected not to skin the operating system and as such it retains the unmodified "Google Experience".

== Ubuntu Edition ==
The Aquaris E4.5 is notable for being the first commercially available phone to carry the [[Software:Ubuntu Touch|Ubuntu Touch]] mobile operating system.

On 9 February 2015, BQ in partnership with [[Company:Canonical|Canonical]] launched the {{Interlanguage link|BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition|de}}<ref>{{cite news|url= http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/canonical-launches-first-ubuntu-phone-with-spains-bq-658711 |title= Canonical Launches First Ubuntu Phone With Spain's BQ |website= gadgets.ndtv.com |first= Robin |last= Sinha |date= 9 February 2015 |access-date= 20 April 2015}}</ref> and it began a gradual release in the [[Social:European Union|European Union]] through a series of online flash sales.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.bq.com/gb/ubuntu.html |title= bq - Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition.
