My guess is Sony.

Sailfish also supported some Sony devices, https://docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Supported_Devices/ https://docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Supported_Devices/

  If they got rid of their fear of the US market, they might actually have gotten somewhere.

    The US smartphone market basically consists of two brands: Apple and Samsung. Everyone else is fighting for scraps.

      Yes, but making it hard to impossible to fully license the Jolla software in a non community level and support their project is a bit frustrating.

  I use Sailfish on an Xperia 10 mod. III. Unfortunately the only Xperia models which support the full Sailfish w/Android compatibility are the way too long ones. I intensely dislike long phones. I miss my old Jolla phone (they're the maker of Sailfish), it was perfect but developed a technical problem after many years. The Xperia is clumsy when compared to the Jolla phone. Glass surfaces back and front (who thought that was a good idea? Glass is slippery, and glass breaks), sometimes slips from my hand, or wherever I put it if it's not 100% flat. Glass..well, you get the idea what happens then..

Sony pulled out of NA a few years ago so that would be non-ideal for many folks…

That would be interesting. I have long wished that Sony phones would allow re-locking the bootloader to an OS signed with my own keys. Some of their Xperia Compact models have been excellent, but they haven't been making them like that in recent years. Dare I hope for a return of their truly compact flagship phones and GrapheneOS support?

  As far as I'm aware, their flagship Xperia phones do support bootloader re-locking [1]. The problem is they haven't fulfilled GrapheneOS's other requirements: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices [1] https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot/issues/299#issue-2328669491 https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot/issues/299#issue-232...

    > As far as I'm aware, their flagship Xperia phones do support bootloader re-locking [1]. The last one I tried (xperia z1 compact) bricked itself when I tried to re-lock the bootloader. Maybe it's safe on newer models? If they ever make another good compact model, I suppose I should look for re-locking reports on it. Thanks for the link.
