<![CDATA[Actual support for 4G tethering]]>Re: 4Gusage
I can see that some devices support 4G.

I am thinking on getting a BQ E5 HD with 4G support on the device. Will it be able to hostspot from the device with Ubuntu Touch to my laptop?

Thanks in advance

As far as I know WhatsAp Web does not support calls in any browser.

Yes, as you point and @Josele13 did, the 4gLTE version does have a Qualcom chipset not compatible with Ubuntu Touch.

Thanks to all for clarifying

The E5 HD is not supported by Ubuntu Touch.

The browser is starting to support video chat, so that might be possible.

Great, sounds good.
I think I can live without VoLTE.

Hotspot should work, even if activating hotdpot can be tricky dometime on UT.

But VoLTE will not work, now or ever, as this is an old device.

If you intend to use this also as a phone, you may choose a more recent phone.
