Just read the recent blog post about the Xperia 10 and the statement about Baseport 8 for Xperia X:
we would have to create and maturize new HW adaptation for Xperia X and either stop supporting old adaptation or to support two adaptations for Xperia X. Supporting two different adaptions for same device would obviously be more work than just having one. If weβd only support new adaptation with SW updates would mean that old users would need to reflash their devices or they would stop getting updates.
Given that Jolla has resources to support at least one adaption:
If you ask me, drop the old HW adaptation!
I prefer reflash, Xperia X is enough for Sailfish X... i dont pay about 400β¬ phone+license for a 2 year lifetime.

rozgwi ( 2019-11-19 22:58:01 +0200 )editMaybe Jolla will consider dropping the old baseport if those owning an X tell them flashing is not an obstacle.
I definitely agree! I will not give up on my XperiaX after one and half year of use. But it seems, after such statement from Jolla, we are running out of options...
