Sony Xperia XZ2, XZ2 Pro and XZ2 Compact support
Dear Jolla,
Will there please be support for the Sony Xperia XZ2, XZ2 Pro and XZ2 Compact in the Sailfish OS 3. This needs support for the Snapdragon 845 CPU which is in many nice higher powered phones.
With supporting these 2 CPU's (Snapdragon 835 and 845) there is a whole list of Sony phones that will be able to run Sailfish!
Who is with me?
Let Jolla finish support for the XA2, then if they can they will add more models. I agree that the XA2 offers nothing more than the X except a slightly bigger screen and prettier appearance, but if resources are limited it is right to start from an affordable yet rather powerful phone. The XZ series is really too expensive for many people.

If Jolla would announce support for the XZ2 Compact, I would sign up right away.
So yeah, it will sound arrogant, but for some people the XA2 isn't expensive enough, so to say.

My good old J1 still works fine, but faster CPU and more RAM would improve daily experience.

We never get good hardware if we always thinking the price, so I would say come on and save money or wait for the price drop (and use old phone).

It would be really nice to know if XZ2 phones will get the support. There is no rush and I am really wondering about the devices that will come with Sailfish 3 version, but I guess it will be hard to beat the XZ2 specs. Also it is not clear to me if Sailfish X will be maintained as good as Sailfish 3.
