The Finnish company Jolla, which develops the operating system Sailfish OS - the heiress of MeeGo - revealed its plans for the release of smartphones, their characteristics and price.



The device “Jolla” with Sailfish OS will be available to everyone at the end of this year in Europe at a price of € 399.99. The smartphone has a 4.5 ”Estrade display, 16 GB of internal memory with the possibility of expanding it with a slot for microSD cards, a removable battery and a 8 megapixel camera. A dual-core processor (without specifying which one) and 4G support are mentioned as advantages.

As a “chip”, there is something called “The Other Half” - probably meant interchangeable panels; Those who pre-order Jolla will be able to get this “The Other Half” in the form of some exclusive series.



It is also interesting to note that in Sailfish OS there is also the previously stated compatibility with Android applications, so the situation with the paucity of applications for the new platform will probably not be observed.
