I bought the Sony XA 2 in December last year, before I had become aware of Sailfish OS and wanted to try it absolutely. So I bought a license and installed the beta version.
The first experiences were characterized by curiosity and mostly positive. Unfortunately, there were also negative experiences concerning old browser, too quiet loudspeaker when telephoning, dark screen when telephoning, ...
Temporarily I played with the idea to use LineageOS instead of Sailfish, but no I stay with Sailfish. I now appreciate the freedom and configuration possibilities of the system and with the last update to Hossa, many of the previously noticeable bugs have been fixed.
I thank the whole Jolla/Sailfish team for this OS and the tireless efforts between the giants of Google and Apple. I hope that Sailfish will be with us for many years to come and yes there will be small bugs in the OS in the future, in my opinion the manpower is missing. Maybe this will change one day and perfection is boring.
Furthermore, I would like to thank the community for their help and advice.
Could not have put it better!

Nekron ( 2019-05-09 10:23:42 +0200 )editMy experience is very similar: I used my fairphone with ported sailfishOS (thanks to @mal for this excellent work!) for about 1 year and I'm still using it. I got my XA2 before the beta Version was released, then bought the license. The only reason for Android is I do need a spreadsheet app (and somtimes a better browser) It's a pleasure watching things getting better day by day! And many thanks to the community! For a user like me is great to have the possibility to get answers and to see how many skilled people are out there to help. I❤SFOS
me_on_the_road ( 2019-05-09 10:49:50 +0200 )editYep I'll add my thanks too, I also bought an XA2 in December and was also less than impressed and haven't been able to use it daily due to the totally abysmal battery life, or should I say complete lack of. One update later and wow, what a humongous change, it's only dropped 16% in 24 hours sat idle, like it has been becusue I've not been using it. Maybe now I might be able to. I'd already told myself this phone was the last chance (up to the years end) for Jolla to keep my interest after 4+ years, they may redeem thereselves yet, if this update is anything to go by! Well done team Jolla ..............
