Which phone is best to run Sailfish?
Hello gang!
Considering buying a Sailfish phone, I had a Jolla before that I bought second hand, but it had a slight distortion on the screen. So I'm wondering which devices run Sailfish best, and which device is generally the best device?
Which official device is best? (ie Jolla Phone/Aquafish)
Which device is best that have had Sailfish ported to it? (ie Nokia N9/Xiaomi Mi 2)How does it run on each device?
Thanks guys!
It depends if you need or want commercial components such as Android support and Exchange ActiveSync. If so, Jolla 1, Jolla C, or Intext Aqua Fish are the only phones that meet this requirement (I skip TuringPhone because only very few were built).
If not, you can take one of the devices documented here and install a community port.
I would suggest to wait a little until more details on the Jolla - Sony relationship become available. It is expected that Sony Experia phones running Sailfish OS will be available. That would include also the mentioned commercial components IIRC.

Not a Sailfish based question, but can anyone point me in the direction for custom ROMs for beginners? I'm looking to install a new OS on my Wileyfox Storm (probably Lineage). I'm new to all this and I'm reading conflicting information online.
