Jolla Phone: The first of its kind with Sailfish OS



Behind Jolla, a Finnish company that was founded in 2011 by a team of former Nokia employee hides. Mainly have been attracted attention with their own mobile OS, called Sailfish. The operating system is replaced by the MeeGo project in the footsteps. Several months ago, the developers had then also announced a matching smartphone that simply "Jolla", should read. To the size and design of the time there was punk in May, though very little information until today. The 4.5-inch display Jolla should therefore have a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Centerpiece is a 1.4 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor from the series, with a gigabyte of RAM to be. As usual with smartphones gets the Jolla an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash on the back and a 2MP front-facing camera. The 16GB of internal memory can be expanded through microSD card slot. The battery has a capacity of 2.100mAh and will be interchangeable. Aboard the above is Sailfish OS. Although this is for a few days compatible with Android apps, which means the whole range of programs is available. Unfortunately, this is only in theory the case since Jolla does not support the Google Play. Apps must therefore be manually installed or loaded on the third - in times of regular news about Spähattacken malware and a rather unpleasant thought. This is a price which is far above the € 399-what is proclaimed date for comparable hardware, especially since the device should be available towards the end of the year. In addition, the smartphone Jolla is of course especially interesting for developers, and for each, the Android is already too much "mainstream" or for fans of the typical Nokia designs, but not by Windows as a smartphone OS.
