Hi, following last year's Jolla @MWC 2017 post, I think is good to keep all news about jolla at this year's MWC in one place. Has someone fresh news to share?

The official MWC 2018 press release is out:

Some cool news indeed, Sailfish 3 with VoLTE and few other goodies. I wonder what's the App Access Control shown in the SailfishOS 3 promo vid. Would it be more finegrained access permissions for apps?

VOLTE is coming to Sailfish OS in version 3 and the OS would be suitable for 4G-enabled feature phones too.

From all the xprerias you could choose you opted for the crappiest.
COME ON JOLLA.
It may be crap in your eyes, but I am rather satisfied with my Xperia X running Sailfish OS.
All the limitations and shortcomings in using the device as a daily driver are caused by the software, not the hardware. A higher-specced device wouldn't have helped to change the situation of the camera's autofocus, fingerprint sensor, and bluetooth stack, to name just a few.
ziellos ( 2018-02-26 16:52:25 +0200 )edit@ziellos i am refering to the XA2. The X is a nice phone but its big. I was hopping for xz2c -which is also larger than what i'd like- but i could live with it.
The HW is -and has always been- the biggest issue with Jolla. Anyone that said HW is easy had no idea what he was talking about.
ApB ( 2018-02-26 18:03:57 +0200 )editWell I googled XA2 and it actually makes sense — it has Snap 630 so it should be fairly similar to X with 650. And after all, 8xx snaps are clear overkill for Sailfish.
Still, I do not approve their choice either. COMPACT, Jolla, cant't you hear people screaming about it?
FFS, there's a github project and obs repo ready with almost everything needed to support the X Compact (again thanks to everyone who worked on it), the only thing you people need to do is make an official image.
figgis-diggis ( 2018-02-26 21:16:05 +0200 )edit@figgis-diggis, here you go for a XperiaX compact image ("community built", thus without AlienDalvik).
Still I concur that Jolla should "officially" support a "compact" Xperia X.

No news (I'm not there), but an irritating tweet. :)

Whats that one non-touchscreen phone we see there?
Edit: Press conference at 11:30, probably no hard facts until then.

atlochowski ( 2018-02-26 12:02:11 +0200 )editSo the new phone, according to cybette's picture, should be the XA2? Disappointed. I wonder what's the meaning of the Nokia 3310.
