[Wiki] Available devices, plus rumored and legacy devices, running Sailfish OS
asked 2016-06-08 15:42:06 +0200
This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
As there are more phones and other devices with Sailfish OS as native / pre-installed or officially supported OS coming out, here is a Wiki page for general overview, a shopping guide and information where to buy. May come handy for anyone new or looking for compact info.
Feel free to edit, expand and add infos.
- KISS - keep it simple, stupid. Please state only facts - and no personal opinions (the comments are for rants)
- When adding an entry keep it short, link to sources and add month/year of entry. Thx.
- Add a separate wiki answer for each model only when it becomes available and can be ordered and bought at least in some parts of the world (not when it is only rumored or planned). Specifications can be obtained by using the application AIDA64 from the Jolla Store.

Available devices
Devices with official Sailfish OS software package available that can be ordered and bought at least in some parts of the world. Jolla is selling the software package, the owners can purchase, download and install it on their own devices.
- Sony Xperia 10 series (since SailfishOS 3.2.0.14); all Xperia 10 models, i.e. regular and "Plus", each in their single- and dual-Sim versions: I3113, I3123, I3213, I3223, I4113, I4193, I4213, I4293
- Sony Xperia XA2 series (since SailfishOS 3.0.0.8); all XA2 models, i.e. regular, "Ultra" and "Plus", each in their single- and dual-Sim versions: H3113, H3123, H3133, H3213, H3223, H3413, H4113, H4133, H4213, H4233, H4413, H4493
- Gemini PDA – See TJC wiki about this device. Press Release
Note that the current (as of 2019-11-22) SailfishOS releases for the Gemini PDA still lack the "AlienDalvik" Android runtime environment.
Devices with pre-installed Sailfish OS that can be ordered and bought at least in some parts of the world.
- INOI T8 tablet (l801em)
Note that the devices sold by INOI usually lack a license for the "AlienDalvik" Android runtime environment.
Planned / rumored devices
Devices for which official SailfishOS support is either announced or rumored.
- MIG C55 (5,5" IP67 phone): technical specifications (translated) / original link (in Russian), press release by OMP (translated) / original link (in Russian) (12/2019)
- Aquarius NS208 (8" IP67 tablet): technical specifications (translated) / original link (in Russian), press release by OMP (translated) / original link (in Russian) (12/2019)
- Blackview 6000s (4,7" IP68 phone): technical specifications, press release by OMP (translated) / original link (in Russian), Amazon.com links for the device with Android installed [1] / [2] (10/2019)
- F(x)tec Pro1 phone (formerly known as Livermorium phone), reviving Nokia's "Lauta" prototype / N950 keyboard mechanism with a modern SoC and hardware. (Side Note: Community builds of SailfishOS have been demonstrated to run well on prototypes and production devices of the Pro1, but official support by Jolla has not been announced.) (11/2019)
- Cosmo Communicator (slightly revamped Gemini PDA) – Jolla's blog states Sailfish OS support is looked into with the community. (11/2018)
- INOI T10 tablet. At MWC 2018 it was stated that the 8" and 10" INOI tablets will be available with SailfishOS ("end of 2018", IIRC), although likely for the Russian market only. (Note, that the INOI T8 is available since Q2/2019.)
- PinePhone and PineTab. There is a Sailfish OS build entry on Pine64's wiki. According to Pine: "Once a partner project decides that an OS build for the PinePhone has been completed, and we too are satisfied with the OS image, then an entire PinePhone production run will be flashed with the OS build in question." Also it's indicated that Pine64 plans to donate the $10/phone margin to the mobile OS of the buyer's choosing.
- INOI 243, a "feature phone" was announced at MWC2018 (unclear if this actually is the one announced). Likely to be available only in Russia. Supposedly it is not running Sailfish OS. (07/2019)
Community ports
Besides these commercially available products, there are also so called community ports of Sailfish OS available for numerous other devices - you can just download and install them by yourself. Especially, check out the most active (but this list is unmaintained since 2017) or all (maintained list) ports / adaptations listed at the MERproject wiki.
Note that community ports lack the proprietary, third party components AlienDalvik (Android runtime environment), "EAS" (Exchange Server support) and XT9 (for which a Free Software alternative exists: presage).
Legacy devices
Newer (than 2016) devices, which are discontinued by their manufacturer but fully supported by recent Sailfish OS releases.
These are easy to buy used and provide a hardware platform on par with current devices.
- Sony Xperia X (F5121; since SailfishOS 2.1.3) and Xperia X Dual-SIM (F5122; since SailfishOS 2.2.0).
Older (2013 - 2016) devices, which are discontinued by their manufacturers but still supported by recent Sailfish OS releases.
These are hard to obtain, provide outdated hardware and seem to receive only little testing nowadays.
- Jolla Phone (JP-1301) aka Jolla 1, sbj, J1, "the first one"
- Jolla Tablet (JT-1501) aka tbj
- Jolla C (JP-1601)
INOI R7 (p4903; basically the same hardware as the Jolla C)
Older devices, which are discontinued by their manufacturers and not supported by current Sailfish OS releases.
- Intex Aqua Fish (l500d; basically the same hardware as the Jolla C)
Official support ended with SailfishOS 2.2.1 (supposedly because Intex did not extend the support contract with Jolla), but Aqua Fish phones can be reflashed to mimic a Jolla C. - Jala Accione
- Jala Accione P
Legacy rumored devices
Cemetery of broken dreams. Older then 2 years and still not available.
- FairPhone 2 - only a community port is available . See a comment by James Noori on June 5, 2018 at 4:47 pm. Now (July 2019) the device is out of stock. (06/2018)
- Lumo is an always-on, easy-to-use, video alarm and care solution aimed especially at senior people. Jolla and Oulumo cooperation aims to power Lumo devices with Sailfish OS. (05/2017)
- Sailfish Watch – It was repeatedly stated to be only a technology demonstrator, not a prototype! (12/2016)
Youyota - tabletNOT AVAILABLE (never shipped and never will) (08/2016)- Ermak OMP - rugged device (No news for more than a year!) (06/2016)
Additional Infos
- Jolla-Devices is reported to sell aforementioned, internationally available devices with the free edition of "SailfishX" preinstalled, so one can upgrade to the full (paid & licensed) edition simply by entering the Jolla Store credentials and installing the relevant packages (i.e., without re-flashing / re-installing SailfishOS). As Jolla-Devices fails to clearly state that on their webpages, you might inquire first. Note that Jolla does not allow to transfer or resell full "SailfishX" licenses, thus one has to buy a full license from Jolla her-/himself. (02/2018)
- Press release, Apr 4, 2017: Sailfish China consortium proceeding to implementation phase.
- Jolla has started discussions in South Africa (from a press release, Nov 29, 2016).
PuzzlePhone should also come this year (2016) and they were promising SFOS support.

coderus ( 2016-06-08 17:56:55 +0200 )editI am running Sailfish on a Fairphone 2, and it is a lot more than rumors! It works perfectly, haven't found a problem with it yet! The only disadvantage is that it lacks Aliendalvik, but other than that, it is a super-smooth Jolla 1!
00prometheus ( 2016-06-08 20:44:06 +0200 )edit@00prometheus Fairphone 2 is under rumours since the list is over pre-installed sailfish devices. There is a much longer list of devices that have working unofficial ports, of course with fairphone 2 included.
jwalck ( 2016-06-08 22:31:40 +0200 )editOysters SF is kind of a mystery to me. Jolla has commented on all kinds of much less visible mythical unicorns so far (Intex, Mi-Fone, Turing Phone,...) but remains silent on this one. Strange.
ossi1967 ( 2016-06-10 15:45:57 +0200 )edit@ossi1967 maybe they licensed it through the new Russian "Open Mobile Platform" -company rather than straight from Jolla?
avhakola ( 2016-06-10 17:04:52 +0200 )edit@avhakola Most likely it is, yes. Still: No word at all? Absolute silence?
ossi1967 ( 2016-06-10 18:37:08 +0200 )edit@rgrnetalk this post looks updated! "Updated: 2016-05-13"
Vuubi ( 2016-06-15 16:59:47 +0200 )editi changed the fairphone to rumored/planned - as long as there is only a community port it is no different than other ports - and does not come with sailfish native. As long as it is not to buy with preinstalled sailfish - it is no more than a rumor.
kaktux ( 2016-07-27 13:14:02 +0200 )edit@kaktux - Yes, it is about time that the fairphone2 port gets proper support from both companies. (The same can be said about the PuzzlePhone). Right now I barely consider the Jolla C officially supported. A phone is a hard sell without navigation. ...and it cannot be bought anymore.
vattuvarg ( 2016-07-27 15:19:15 +0200 )editI think that they must show the world what Sailfish OS can do. They need one phone with 2016 hardware. Of course it will be expensive but i think many people will by it, because of android app support. But phone must be good looking, Slim, about 7-7.5 mm at max and minimum screen to body ratio of 80% (We all know that Sailfish does not need buttons). That would be so cool i would buy that phone too (I have not paid >200$ for any phone). For now i have Nexus 4 with Sailfish OS 2.0.1.11 and when i set cpu governor to performance it's like turbo mode for cpu overall experience feels like 2-3 times faster and smoother. Apps open much faster and so on. And this is on hardware from 2012. I can't imagine what can do to Sailfish OSs performance 2016 hardware. It will be much faster then android. Only then not so techie people will understand that Sailfish OS is the best alternative to android and iOS. My dream is Nokia to make smartphones with Sailfish OS on them. That would be so cool.
AnonUser10082 ( 2016-08-12 13:44:58 +0200 )editThis wiki is about available phones, not dreams. ...and before you get upset you should keep in mind that I know a thing or two about dreams...
vattuvarg ( 2016-08-12 13:55:22 +0200 )editI am sorry...
AnonUser10082 ( 2016-08-12 13:59:51 +0200 )edit@matusala - Nothing to be sorry about, really. It is a good post with valid statements. ...it's just that the topic is available phones and so your post gets a bit... well ...off-topic. Welcome to TJC, by the way. :)
vattuvarg ( 2016-08-12 14:20:01 +0200 )editThanks :)
AnonUser10082 ( 2016-08-12 14:21:13 +0200 )edit@matusala, please convert this as a comment (> more > repost as a question comment) or even move it to those questions @vattuvarg mentioned.
JoHe ( 2016-08-12 16:21:55 +0200 )edit@Giacomo you noted you could install sailfish to xiaomi redmi note 4 or eliphone p9000. i'm a basic user, no coding sjills. these handsets are not on the list. i am missing sonething? can i just take one of these handsets, follow the install process and it will work? confused...

tuniek ( 2016-09-20 01:19:36 +0200 )editthis looks actually quite dissapointing.. so, nothing available? That wont help sailfish os to grow.
soloist ( 2016-10-06 19:16:12 +0200 )edit@soloist tried this (216 € + shipping to Finland 18.89 € + vat) or this (~125 €)?
JoHe ( 2016-10-06 20:16:39 +0200 )editCorrection pre-ordered Turing Phones have shipped starting mid August 2016.
DarkTuring ( 2016-10-06 20:42:25 +0200 )edit@JoHe thanks! I will recommend the Jolla C (I also have one), maybe they trust that shop enough.., the intex does not have CE, so the chance is quite high it cant be imported...
soloist ( 2016-10-06 20:43:14 +0200 )edit@DarkTuring: I guess you have enough karma to edit wikis here?
JoHe ( 2016-10-06 20:46:54 +0200 )editJoHe you are right of course made the edit accordingly.
DarkTuring ( 2016-10-06 21:01:09 +0200 )edit@DarkTuring is it just spam you added or can you point us on reliable sources?
Sthocs ( 2016-10-06 22:13:36 +0200 )editSthocs i have one in my hand for one, for two check https://www.facebook.com/turingroboticindustries/
DarkTuring ( 2016-10-06 22:30:40 +0200 )editIs there a reason Turing Phone and Oysters SF are listed as available? For Turing Phone the pre-order is closed. About Oysters SF very little is known yet.
Vuubi ( 2016-10-19 10:28:57 +0200 )editThat's the problem with a wiki, everybody can troll it :/
Sthocs ( 2016-10-19 16:55:49 +0200 )edit@Vuubi@Sthocs Not everything is a troll. Maybe it's just hope? Enthusiasm? Or added at a time when they seemed to be available? But yes, I agree. They're not as of now.
jwalck ( 2016-10-19 17:07:24 +0200 )editi dont think its trolling when people who got the turing phone put it in available.... the oysters seems super fishy though
misc11 ( 2016-10-19 17:10:11 +0200 )editI am wondering which % of 'coming soon' and 'planned' Sailfish OS devices are vapourware. I fear that the % that do actually make it to market will be only available in 1 select hipster Cafe in Palo Alto or 1 hut in a village in rural Kenya
Dankoozy ( 2016-10-19 17:41:16 +0200 )editFudding will not help it, this is still considered "startup" business and your take is off-topic here.
chemist ( 2016-10-19 18:18:11 +0200 )editTuring phone has been moved to legacy device, sadly fast.
magullo ( 2016-12-17 15:55:58 +0200 )editDoes anybody have any idea how to fix the text flow formatting of this question? Now the rows bleed over the right hand side menu on narrow screens.
JoHe ( 2017-07-05 23:19:26 +0200 )editPlease hold your horses.
To add an answer for devices that are NOT publically available for everyone is not the intention of this wiki. I know we are all exited about Jolla and Sony - but the Device is NOT one of the devices that are or were available. You cant click a link an just buy it and got a sailfish phone in your hands some time later.
Else the answer section would be spammed with rumoured devices, community ports and would not fit the intended purpose: showing the average guy what sailfish devices he can buy.
Therefore it is not even sure for now if the sony will ever be in the list at it is - as far as i know there are NO plans to offer a preinstalled version for everyone to buy. Installing by yourself does not differ that much from "normal" community ports - and therefore is for sure not something you can call "available device". As this might be the way jolla goes in the future maybe another section has to be added: official ports. But we will see that when the ports actually are available.
I currently dont see any difference to other rumoured devices (also Jolla announced it on their blog) - and to get an answer for every rumoured device would in my eyes be overkill. For know the Sony for sure is not available and therefore an answer simply misleading to new users or those who dont follow regulary.
Thats why my opinion is: hold your horses - we cant click and buy.
kaktux ( 2017-07-06 20:58:24 +0200 )edit@kaktux Yeah, you're right. All the community wants is to just go and buy a device with SailfishOS, but right now we can't. Will Sony Xperia X become such device? We'll just have to wait and see...
Direc ( 2017-07-07 12:27:52 +0200 )edit@JoHe could you add sources showing where accione and sailfish watch can be ordered right now?? prototypes and collaborations are not enough to have an own answer for a device as they are not available devices and therefore shall be deleted for now. so please add some.info as i could not find any source where i could buy these devices.
kaktux ( 2017-11-22 15:59:59 +0200 )editYeah, you're right the Watch does not deserve an own answer. Let's find some sources then!
JoHe ( 2017-11-22 16:53:13 +0200 )editI guess the Fairphone 2 can be removed from the wiki, it's quite obvious there's nothing happening at least for that version.
schmittlauch ( 2018-03-14 12:46:05 +0200 )edit@schmittlauch I've got some fresh fuel for the rumour-mill about that particular device ;)
r0kk3rz ( 2018-03-14 14:55:35 +0200 )edit@r0kk3rz I'd be even happier about Fairphone-3 rumors now that the SHIFT6mq won't get (official) Sailfish OS. I just want a modular, repairable phone with Sailfish!
schmittlauch ( 2018-03-14 14:57:32 +0200 )editGemini PDA Status/Progress is also tracked here:
https://together.jolla.com/question/183981/sailfish-for-the-gemini-pda-progress/
nephros ( 2018-05-22 12:09:07 +0200 )editi extended the definition for preinstalled a little. The "available devices" section still is meant only for devices you can actually buy - no rumured, planned or others. Devices you can get order right now - not later. So the Gemini pda for now is not ready for that section. If someone is holding it in its hands we can add it there + add the aida info in a new answer. Also try to stick to the facts. Personal opinions and emotions like with the youyota tablet are not really helpful in a wiki. Its ok to warn others to participate - but not because you think it sucks - but because of fact 1,2,3.
kaktux ( 2018-07-18 13:28:59 +0200 )edit@kaktux The Gemini PDA can be ordered right now and Planetcom are claiming a two-week shipping time. Maybe there are reports somewhere that show that delivery isn't happening: if that is the case, would you care to share?
pakman ( 2018-07-18 21:29:37 +0200 )edit@pakman the gemini pda IS available, but only with a community sailfish port... the official support is claimed to come later...
misc11 ( 2018-07-18 21:39:22 +0200 )editwasnt sure till know - but i just read that the sony-jolla deal does NOT includevavwarranty, meaning by flashing official jolla on the supported sony you lose warranty. so basically this is a no deal and sony did not seem to be participating anything to that so called deal. if you can confirm that we should include this info in the wiki. for almost everyone i know warranty loss is an even bigger dealbreaker than self-flashing. just offer flashed and/or complete devices yourself or with partners jolla - and even more never a device without warranty. this way there will never be an more users then the fan base.
kaktux ( 2018-09-20 09:34:09 +0200 )editThis is seconded by the use of "may void your warranty" in every darn corner. No clear answer, because "no" would drive customers away.
Jolla, could we have an official response on the matter?
Direc ( 2018-09-20 13:06:33 +0200 )editi am thinking about adding a "pseudo" legacy section - meaning a section for rumored devices that for whatever reason never got available. E.g. this is meant to "clean" the rumored and available devices - the youyota as it seem to have been a scam (did only read a little - so i trust the ones that mention it here) and also stuff like fairphone - that is a rumor for x years now. Another option is to delete them entirely - but then again i am a fan of having dead info instead of no info. Also in the future we should maybe add month+ year the rumor first appeared so users can quickly judge. What do you think?
kaktux ( 2018-10-13 13:38:11 +0200 )editExactly! Good idea. I have noticed that the rows are not getting wrapped in this question. Instead the answer is flowing on top of the right hand side menu. What could be the problem.
JoHe ( 2018-10-13 13:44:18 +0200 )editHi There! It's a very odd question, but is there any supported device which smaller then 5 col? And it's not out dated? Thank for the answer!
arcsibo ( 2018-12-05 11:29:37 +0200 )editThere is a community port of Sailfish OS for the 4.6 inch Sony Xperia X Compact.
vattuvarg ( 2018-12-05 12:39:44 +0200 )editCool thank you!
arcsibo ( 2018-12-05 12:48:51 +0200 )editIt would be really great if the Inoi tablets were made available outside the Russian market. I've been waiting to purchase a tablet till an officially-supported SFOS model is released.
sunburnedpenguin ( 2018-12-06 09:23:56 +0200 )editSo the INOI T8 is not rumored anymore.. I managed to get one and I'm very happy with it.. I even use it as my phone.. ;) It has a dual sim and does its job flawlessly. Currently running Oulanka:
