Does anyone know when will the next Jolla phone be released? I would not want to buy the old one. And is there any info about the price? Are Jolla phones going to be cheaper till summer? Thanks!

Why do you need already another device ?? i think we can do better with this software. it s usefull have less device changes but more software changes and every 2/3 years a new device with new tecnologies. this phone can work another year without problems i think.

Certainly, unless your battery wears out. With the current spare battery availability you're up for some serious considerations whether to change brand or struggle and wait for a batch of batteries or a new Jolla.

The jolla has some flaws that IMO need to be changed. Software will come anyway.

help me to understand . give me some examples :)

First they should make it global. Wifi ac dual the lot. The camera could be better. People expect a really really good camera (back and front). The size and shape are then. It is big. And the sharp corner that the TOH creates on the left and right sides makes it feel bad in the hand. Also the main half corners are "sharp" creating problems. And last they should make the phone feel more premium. Something that it should give you the feeling you can throw on the wall and will go through it intact.

i think that you are talking about something that is a common think. Developers too know that, but this is not usefull to repeat each time. we need as a community to help with bug fix, error notice. this is another thread that talk about next jolla. i ve seen another that talk for the third jolla ans so on... i don t think it s a good idea for everyone and every situation repeat some known problems too much.

I hope it will be under 400€! What do you guys think?

i won't mind if it is more than that with a better construction and materials. The most important thing for me is for it to keep the screen size (better resolution) and become smaller.

@Timonen I hope it will be over €400, if that means we get better hardware than current Jolla, which feels to me as if too much compromises have been made to keep the price low. And just like @ApB, I don't want bigger sizes.

I wouldn't really call €400 a low price, but maybe that's just me.

Sure if the hardware gets better it can cost as much as it needs. But not too much thouh. I also want to have better resolution and hardware. The size is just fine. A big plus would be if there was an infrared port. But if I can buy s5 which, is better, with the same money that Jolla costs

I'd put my money on Slush rather than MWC.

Same for me. I think MWC will be more about the tablet and the innovations/reworks of Sailfish OS 2.0.

I paid the 400eur. for the Jolla the first time around but do not expect I will do the same every year. 250eur every two-three of years is around the price I would be willing to pay. A combination of a smaller phone with a tablet works best with me. There are very few things tha twould make me change my mind.

Having a camera is good, but I do not expect it to be an exceptional camera. It cannot be, if at the same time people expect the phone to be thin.

The tablet price is spot on. I will consider a new Jolla phone if it

  • does not come out too soon (not before next fall)

  • will have a competitive price. A small premium over an Android phone is OK, but the price bracket should be lower. The current price of the Jolla is about right.
