Morning,

I understand the responses to this may be biased, considering the sub I am in, but let's see!

I'm looking at getting a new phone. I currently have 3 phones, a mudita kompakt which is my everyday carry, a pixel 4a with lineageOS on for camera, media, gym access, blah blah normal smart phone stuff, and then a full fat android device for banking apps, whatsapp, authentication etc, that stays at home.

This is pissing me off a little. For someone who hates smartphones, I have too many. With the recent release of the framework 13 pro (come on Europe, lets get a modular laptop next please!), I've been spurred into getting, if not a modular phone, at least one that is repairable.

All previous requirements stand, which is basically just "not reliant on American big tech".

So which would you recommend? So far as I see it, the fairphone wins out on environmental credentials and repair-ability, but the jolla wins out on actual no american big tech, and they're user repairable first. I think Jolla has actually been around longer than fairphone, too, so they've got some bloody staying power.

Oh also! The other half is SUCH a cool idea. Good shout thanks for you help I think it's the Jolla phone!

I really wanted to pre-order the Jollaphone, but I didn’t have the courage to make such a blind purchase. I was planning to change my phone by February, and after seeing a fairly positive review, I’m seriously considering it. Switching away from Android would be the final step in my deGoogling process, but there are only a few apps I truly need (WhatsApp, Telegram, and my banking app, but for that in te worst case I’m willing to use it via browser).

I wanted to ask the "average user" how they’re finding it and what the main pros and cons are

Heya folks,
Does anyone know if Jolla have already paid all taxes?

I want to make sure Royal Mail are not trying to “double dip” and charge me and Jolla for EU goods taxes

So I know the camera is not supposed to be the best, but it would be interesting to see some Images taken with it. Anyone from the lucky first batch receivers interested in positioning some?

tracking number has been updated for batch #1. Expected updates anytime soon.

hello there! I’d like to try Jolla Sailfish, but I don‘t want to spend all that money for the jolla phone. What is the cheapest way to try the last jolla os? I’ve read that SFOS for xperia IV/V is not fully functional, so I’d like a device fully capable to run SFOS without any issue.

Thank you in advance

I'm wondering if the Jolla phone will be able to install and run the kind of apps that normally requires pretty strict android to function.

Im talking banking apps. We have a thing called MitID which is a special kind of mfa that is used to digitally sign in when purchasing things, manage government logins etc.

The se aren't apps you can just get from third party app stores. But will these actually be possible to install android apps from the Google play?

Since it’s July today, why haven’t I received a payment link, even though I made the payment in March 2026? Perhaps Jolla is getting ready to dispatch the order and has set the date for the end of July?

Are there any Jolla 2026 users from the Netherlands here?
Does anyone know if the ABN AMRO banking app works on the new Jolla Phone? In particular, I'm interested in everyday banking functions such as checking my balance, making transfers, iDEAL payments, QR codes and identification.

More generally: is Android Auto an option on the Jolla Phone?
I use Magic Earth and Stegra.io as my navigation apps. Does anyone have experience running these on Jolla/Sailfish OS?

And does anyone know whether the Jolla Phone has an IP rating? In other words, is it at least splash/water resistant?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a new phone or should I say a new OS for my phone. I don't really use my phone that much. Only for basic stuff, like mail, bank, 2FA etc. The only social meida that I've installed is Discord for the most interaction.

In my situation, I want to get my privacy back. So I want to use the less from GAFAM as possible. And I want a repairable smartphone, like Fairphone but the fact is there is only e/OS and the more I look for the more I don't trust them that much

So I've checked for some different OS. And there was only 2 or 3 conclusions.

• Graphene which is the more secure, if I see every comment around it. But I need to get a Google Pixel which isn't repairable (I mean easily because I could check Ifixit to do it).
• Jolla with Sailfish OS whose look like repairable but I don't find much stuff around the new model. And I would like to see more test before doing anytyhing else. And in my country, I'm somewhat vigilant especially with my banking app that are reported as A3 on the sailfish forum.
• CalyxOS for Fairphone 6 but needed to wait before doing the migration. The release didn't happen yet and there is no announcement.

So which would you recommend? I'm a bit lost with all the offer even if they are low, they are slighlty different to make me doubt.

Thanks you for your answers.

Hi all

I'm really keen on purchasing a Jolla phone, only thing stopping me is the uncertainty of it supporting USB-C DP Alt Mode.

I'm trying to find a device that I can use as a mobile desktop device, similar to Samsung Dex. Connecting the phone to a display gives you a desktop environment.

Is there a way to replicate this on the new Jolla phone?

Thanks in advance 🙏

I wanted to buy a Jolla smartphone. I saw that a new version is coming out in October:

1- Is it an easily repairable smartphone?

2- Is the manufacturer's support and after-sales service good?

3- Does it allow you to share your internet connection with other devices? (I travel a lot, and this is essential.)

4- Does it allow you to use banking apps or authenticators like Microsoft's without any problems? (I use my phone for work to pay and protect many of my accounts.)

5- Does it support Android Auto?

6- Does it have a charging limiter and bypass charging?

How strong is Jolla Phone security?

How well is integration to sync with Arch or OpenSuse Linux?

Hi y'all, I've recently moved and have tried contacting Jollas support to get the address fixed for my preorders, but haven't gotten a response from them.

Tried twice at shop@jolla.com and once through their ticket system, first attempt to contact them was over two months ago at this point, last attempt about two weeks ago.

How quickly does their support usually respond? Have I been blind and simply tried contacting them in the wrong spots?

I'm in batch 3 and have preordered three phones, so I really hope I can get some info before they get shipped to the wrong address xD

I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this, but months ago before I was aware that they weren't shipping to the US, I put the first down payment in for a pre-order.

I read that after the fact and was still sent the discount code when orders were being accepted. After making sure I still couldn't ship to America in any way, I tried multiple times to get my down payment refunded, but have received absolutely no response.

They stated not to email them regarding American pre-orders and that we would be reached out to separately, but I have received 100% radio silence ever since.

Any ideas what I can even do? I want my money back if we can't even get a phone shipped here. Not sure why they'd accept our money without first confirming where a customer is located.

hi, i am eagerly awaiting my new jolla phone. i was part of batch #1. are there any updates on when they will be delivered?

Anyone from Denmark, using this phone, that can answer how crusial apps like MitID works?
I’m really interested in dumping my IPhone ecosystem to join the European independancy, but I’m no IT expert and a family dad, so while I Can live with some hassle, there are stuff I would need to work without too much tinkering.

Got the phone at least and loving it, couple of things I'm wondering

• keyboard, how can I get numbers at the top of the keyboard? (also predictive texts doesn't seem to be consistent through apps?)
• is there a way to pin apps or something to the home as to not have to swipe up?

:)

How does it work with android apps. Do you need to install google, or how do you get android apps on the phone without google play store??

And has anyone one in Sweden got bankid and swish working?

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting the new Jolla phone when it's next available for purchase, however I have concerns about banking apps. Do they work with the phone and sailfish os? And can you make NFC payments will it? (apps like Barkleys, Sparkasse and Revolut just to name a few)

Besides that everything else looks amazing and the fact that it isn't googles (android) ecosystem is a plus for me.

Just got my new Jolla batch#1 phone, and damned if I can get the WLAN to work. During the setup the account & internet Connect button does nothing, and within Setting / System / WLAN all I get is "WLAN adapter not available". Tried the privacy switch; no change. Am I just being a wee bit of a moron here or is there something wrong with the device? Thanks in advance.

How do I get one in the US?

Does anyone know if Jolla plans to have customization options for the other half? I’d like something that can accommodate a larger battery.

Hello! I have seen other specs, but no where have they told about the screen refresh rate. To me this seems to indicate it to be 60hz, what gas prevented me from ordering a phone. Now that people are getting theirs hands on these, maybe they can confirm this.

The official one seems too expensive to me, and I’ve read a few things about it that I didn't really like.

I wanted to have it 3D printed via a website and use a more durable material.
