Jolla Phone: A new option

There are only two major operating systems in today’s smartphone market, Android and iOS. If you are shopping for a new phone, it will mostly be based on these. Options like Windows Phone and Blackberry are left far behind these days. If you are tired of Android and iOS and are looking for something new, then Finnish company Jolla is introducing a new phone, which runs on Linux OS.

Jolla is the same company that launched a phone with Sailfish OS in 2013, and now the company has brought its new device Jolla Phone. This latest model is more advanced than the previous generation. Now let us know about it in detail.

Sailfish OS 5 in Jolla Phone

This phone works on Sailfish OS 5, which is Jolla’s Linux-based mobile platform. The company claims that Sailfish is the only successful European mobile operating system to date, which has been on the market for the last 12 years.

Complete attention to privacy

Jolla has stated that there is no tracking or data collection of any kind in its software. According to this, Sailfish OS has neither any tracker nor background data collection. This focus on privacy will appeal to users who want more control over their digital information.

App support in Jolla Phone

Any smartphone platform becomes increasingly popular because of the applications. Understanding this shortcoming, Jolla Phone has been provided with the facility to run Android apps. Users can easily use Android apps through Jolla AppSupport. If necessary, they can also turn off Android-related components. The camera, mic, Bluetooth, and sensors can be turned off quickly from the physical privacy switch located on the left side of the device.
