Jumping onboard

Hello everyone,

I wanted for a very long time to make the switch to SailfishOS; I now found an Xperia 5121 at a decent price and I'm thinking of making the switch.

It would be ideal if I could make this my daily driver, but I have some questions regarding the features that may not be working yet (I read throught the topics but I couldn't find an up-to-date answer):

  • does the front camera work ?
  • does the back camera offer decent results with the latest auto-focus fixes ?
  • does skype / fb messenger work ? (sorry, I would like to quit but it's not possible at the moment)
  • are there any native apps that can do video calls ?
  • is the mail app sluggish ? does it support activesync ?
  • does the calendar app support google calendar sync (and does it work ok) ?
  • any experience with Android Auto ?
  • random crashes/restarts/freezes ?

Thank you in advance for the answers !
