Redone references for the new Jolla linux phone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jolla Phone (2026) is a smartphone produced by Jolla, a Finnish company originally founded from the remnants of Nokia's MeeGo team.[1] Announced on 5 December 2025, it is the successor to the original Jolla J1 (2013) and runs Sailfish OS 5, described by Jolla as the only commercially viable European mobile operating system.[2] The phone is marketed as an independent European Linux smartphone, with Jolla emphasising privacy, long-term software support, and the ability to run Android apps without Google services. Pre-orders opened in December 2025 at a price of €499, capped at 10,000 units, with retail pricing expected at €599–699.[2]

Hardware
The device is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 (MT6858) processor with 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, both from SK Hynix, secured in January 2026.[3] Storage is expandable via microSD. The display is a 6.36" FullHD AMOLED panel at 390 ppi, protected by Gorilla Glass. The camera system consists of a 50 MP primary and 13 MP ultrawide on the rear. The 5,500 mAh battery is user-replaceable, continuing a Jolla design tradition from the J1. A side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a physical privacy switch — disabling the microphone, camera, and Bluetooth — are also included.[2]
The iconic The Other Half (TOH) modular accessory interface returns, featuring 7 pogo pins with I3C bus support (SDR mode, up to 12.5 Mbit/s). Pins provide 5V power in and out, I3C data lines, an ID line, and an interrupt/wake line. Full CAD specifications are planned for release in Q1 2026 to enable community hardware development.[3]
Some features remained unconfirmed at announcement, including USB-C video output, eSIM support, and a finalised IP water resistance rating.
Software
The phone ships with Sailfish OS 5, developed by Jolla in Finland. Jolla has guaranteed a minimum of five years of OS updates.[2] The OS supports Android app compatibility without Google services.
Release
The phone is available in the EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland, with planned expansion to further markets. First boot on CNC samples was achieved in late February 2026 following a hackday in Tampere.[3] Mass production and first batch shipping is targeted for end of June 2026.[3]
The phone was shown at Mobile World Congress 2026.[4]
