We’re pretty excited about this OTA! We’ve introduced wireless capabilities to the [Meizu Pro 5](http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/devices), which gives users the full Ubuntu PC experience running from a smartphone. All the services running from the phone are available on desktop through just a wireless dongle and no cables – giving you the full Ubuntu convergence experience! And the best bit is we’ll be rolling this out across all Ubuntu smartphones and tablets for future OTAs. Here’s a 2 minute video Richard, our Product Manager, has created showing the magic moment – when the Pro 5 wireless connects!

In addition to this feature there are overall performance improvements to the [M10 tablet](http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/devices) that include speed, bluetooth connectivity and smoother scrolling. Here’s a more detailed summary of all the updates below:

* Pro 5 users have full Ubuntu convergence using the wireless display feature – the same feature will be available for all future Ubuntu smartphones and tablets
* Smoother scrolling for the dash and apps giving a more seamless user experience
* Better mouse responsiveness using bluetooth when the desktop interface is displayed
* Faster smoother graphics which improve the way content is delivered to the device
* Automatic scaling for external monitors so the desktop display and application automatically scale to the resolution used on the external monitor
