Hi Simon,

thank you for your reply.

1 > Why Canonical have choosing to never change to a newer BSP? Meizu
released a new Android version for MX4 (based on Android 5):
http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=5&type=1
MX4 it's a top device, so I don't understand this decision.

2 > Canonical in the future can backport MediaCodecSource or MX4 still
remain without convergence mode?
I don't understand this decision too.

So, for having a device that work in convergence mode I need to buy a new
Meizu Pro5?

Thank you,
Marco
