I know +Martin Wimpress recently flashed a Flyme Pro 5 to Ubuntu. Good idea :)
How to flash Meizu Pro 5 to Ubuntu Touch
From the start the Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu has become very popular. Unfortunately, the phone was sold out very quickly, therefore a lot of Ubuntu users couldn't order the new Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu phone. For that reason Wouter Voeten and Maarten van Druten have made an extensive document how to flash a standard Meizu Pro 5 phone (with Flyme OS) to Ubuntu!
They would like to share this document with others, so more Ubuntu users can enjoy having Ubuntu on the Meizu Pro 5 phone. It gives any user a fully working Ubuntu phone, that accepts all official Ubuntu OTA updates.
This document is a manual for people who have advanced experience with flashing phones. The manual has been tested by several users and it works perfectly with the International and Chinese versions of the Meizu Pro 5. However, using this manual is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee your phone will be working. If you experience any difficulties, we or Ubuntu cannot be held responsible.

Bob on that guide

I gather that the Google Nexus 5 will stop receiving android security patches in October. Good time for Canonical to start officially supporting this popular phone?Sep 2, 2016- I am tempted to give it a try on here (nexus 5) after trying it not so successfully on the Nexus 4 and 7. Needs a few headaches sorting first like the battery life and buggy things that made me stopped me keeping it on the other devices +Stephen BinghamSep 2, 2016
I do wish that Canonical would support at least one phone that worked on US carriers. I get that it's not the market they're after, but I've been dying to get an Ubuntu phone that works sine the Edge campain in 2013. I was ready to throw money at it then, and I am ready today.
The Nexus 5 would be a great port to finish up.Sep 2, 2016
+Joshua Underwood it's not that it's not a market we're after. More that we don't currently have a partner that ships there.Sep 3, 2016
