Jolla Smartphone with Sailfish OS

Jolla Smartphone with Sailfish OS

Jolla Smartphone is the latest device running on Meego based operation system Sailfish. It costs $550 and uses an alternative design. It looks like two piece joined together. It's a little chunky at 9.9mm and a medium weight of 141g.






Jolla Phone has 1.4GHz dual-core processor made by Qualcomm and 1GB of RAM. There's 16GB of storage and a microSD card slot underneath the rear cover for adding more. A 7.98Wh battery is removable but we haven't been able to test out batter life during our hands-on time.

Jolla Specs are towards the top end of the mid-range with a 4.5in IPS screen which has a qHD resolution (540x960). It's got the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and A-GPS, plus 4G support and NFC. However, the latter is only there for use with the interchangeable covers.

Jolla calls this feature 'the other half'. Essentially, the removable covers which come in a number of different colours each have an NFC chip which stores information. When attached to the phone, the case dictates things like the wallpaper and even personal settings.

There's an 8Mp rear camera with an LED flash and a 2Mp front facing webcam. Those numbers sound good but the cameras, during our hands-on time, didn't take very impressive photos.
