Hi Carlos,

There are a few differences between desktop PCs and smartphones. One of 
them is that when you want to install a smartphone operating system on 
a device, you first need to port its drivers as they aren't included in 
the Linux kernel by default.
Therefore, if you want to install Ubuntu on your Lenovo smartphone, you 
will have to go through a serious amount of porting work. That's 
definitely not going to be easy but if you still want to give it a try, 
I recommend waiting until the beginning of next week when, according to 
their announcement, they are going to release the new porting guide.

Cheers,
Niklas
