forum.sailfishos.org
Greetings, This announcement starts an update sequence where we provide information on how the Next gen Jolla Phone planning progresses. As we’re doing this together with you and for you, Sailfish Community, we want to be transparent on the progress of realising this unique European project. This would be truly a Do-It-Together (DIT) Linux smartphone which would be defined together with you all! Maybe this is even the first truly community specified Linux smartphone in the world?

    We have been looking carefully also 3.5mm jack. Personally, I’d prefer that as well (many others as well). When considering the smaller display size, our volumes and amount of customization towards PCBA (the “motherboard” of a phone), the 3.5mm jack is very likely something that we cannot fulfill. If we cannot make 3.5mm jack to happen, then we need to consider USB-C to 3.5mm jack cable for the #nextgenjollaphone.

    While this is not the news most people wanted to hear I really love how open they are with their process.

    FWIW, SailfishOS works really well on some Sony Xperia models, esp. the 10II and 10III - arguably even better than on its own device. These are available on the used market for significantly under or slightly over €100 resp. The XA2 also works well but is getting a little long in the tooth now. All these devices are fully supported!
