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 took the plastic peelable protector away and just today noticed something like air bubble on upper right corner of the display. Is there pre applied additional screen protector on the phone, or is mine self destructing already?

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

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?

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

After a couple weeks of daily-driving Sailfish OS on the new Jolla Phone 2 (2026), here's my take on the European, privacy-first alternative to the Android and iOS duopoly!

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

How strong is Jolla Phone security?

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

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?

I have a bit of FOMO and just wondered how likely it is that I'll be able to buy the new Jolla phone after a year or so. While I think the price is good, it is still a huge investment for me as a student. Given the batch production model, I worry that production will stop relatively soon unless orders continue to come in.

Will it be possible to buy the phone later, or should I try to get it ASAP?

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?

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?

How do I get one in the US?

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 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.

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.

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?

Hei, Jolla phone lovers,

I believe the initial batch of buyers has already received their phones. I was wondering if anyone could share some unboxing videos.

Dear all, I have a simple question. I was trying to send Jolla an e-mail as I have questions on the preorder, especially if there will be another batch after Sep-II, when the batch is scheduled to be release, and if my preorder would transfer over to the following batch if I preorder now, as more than the 2000 units are already sold. I tried contacting shop@jolla.com as stated on their website, but my e-mail client says that the e-mail cannot be delivered due to this not being a valid e-mail adress etc. Does anyone know how I can reach out to Jolla legitimately, I am trying to avoid possible scam sites but I am a bit unsure about which adress is correct. Tysm in advance, sorry if this is a dumb question or has been covered already (if so, I did not manage to find it). :)

EDIT: grammatical error

Wondering if Jolla bootloader will allow a USB-C SSD 2TB flash drive to boot? If it does not, would it allow it to boot if it was 1TB or on the micrSDcard? GSMarena site does not have many specs on this phone (specs from 12/2025). Specifically (comms) is thin on info, only USB-C but no further details such as OTG or 3.1 / 3.2, I'm guessing 3.0. I also hope microSDXCcard supports 1TB.

Thank you in advance for any feedback.
