Finnish mobile maker Jolla has returned, bringing the limited-edition Jolla C smartphone that is equipped with its Sailfish operating system.
It cannot be denied that the firm behind Sailfish OS has gone through an array of struggles and trying times in the past. In spite of a few challenges, it appears that Jolla is ready to re-enter into the overcrowded smartphone market.
Just recently, the company introduced its limited-edition Jolla C phone. This time, however, it is only offering the handset to the Sailfish OS community and developers.
"Jolla C is available only through the Sailfish Community Device Program," it says in the device's official product page.
It goes on to say that Jolla C is available without pre-installed third-party apps.
"With its unique user experience, open source core and freedom for privacy, Sailfish OS feels better than ever on the Jolla C," adds Jolla.
For consumers to get hold of the smartphone, they have to shell out about €170, or around $189. With the said price, owners can already join the program and have access to special online support sessions along with invitations to various events.
Features To Expect
Apart from offering the Sailfish OS experience, the phone also rocks a 5-inch screen with 720 x 1,280 resolution and 293 ppi. Jolla C is crammed with a 2,500 mAh li-on battery. In terms of its memory, it houses a 16 GB built-in storage, 2 GB RAM and a microSD slot for those who need up to 32 GB of extra storage.
With regard to its processor, this phone comes with a 1.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 212.
The Jolla phone has an 8-megapixel shooter that comes with LED flash along with a 2-megapixel front-facing snapper.
Additionally, it is worth noting that Jolla's OS works well with Android apps.
More Perks For Jolla C Users
Jolla says that users of the handset will be guaranteed to get the latest updates for the Sailfish OS. A few users will also be lucky to try out beta OS releases.
In January, Tech Times reported that Jolla delivered some of its crowdfunded Jolla tablets running Sailfish OS 2.0. Unfortunately, not all backers who supported its project received their tablets.
