Jolla has launched its new Sailfish OS smartphone in India, offering a unique alternative to the usual Android and iOS devices. The phone runs on Sailfish OS 5, a Linux-based operating system that focuses strongly on user privacy and modular design.
The Jolla Phone features high-end hardware including 12GB RAM, 256GB internal storage expandable up to 2TB via microSD, a 50MP primary rear camera, and 5G connectivity. It is powered by a large 5500mAh battery that users can replace themselves, a rare feature in today’s smartphones. The device also includes a dedicated privacy switch allowing users to disable the microphone, camera, Bluetooth, and Android components with a single click.
It sports a 6.36-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass, delivering strong visuals and durability for daily use. Connectivity options include dual SIM slots, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. The rear camera setup combines a 50MP primary sensor with a 13MP ultra-wide lens, enhancing low-light photography and group shots. Although the front camera resolution is not specified, it is optimised for high-quality video calls and selfies.
The Jolla Phone’s modular design extends to its removable back panel and battery, making repairs easier and extending the device’s lifespan. Security is strengthened with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor that is fast and responsive.
Jolla has announced the global pre-order price at €499 (approximately ₹52,465), with retail pricing expected between €599 and €699 (around ₹62,980 to ₹73,495). The exact local price and launch date for India have yet to be confirmed.
This phone is ideal for users who seek a privacy-first operating system different from Android, want a long-lasting device with replaceable parts, and desire modern features such as 5G, high RAM and storage, plus a capable camera. It offers a fresh smartphone experience focused on data control, privacy, and modularity rather than just hardware specifications.
