- nextos 10mo agoFWIW, Jolla just announced a new phone: https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder
- aaravchen 10mo agoIt was discussed here when it was announced. I believe it was determined the hardware is an ultra-low-budget Aliexpress design that normally retails for ~$100 that they had custom built with a mic cutoff switch added to it (probably the cause of a large portion of the hardware price increase). I dont remember the specifics, but even thr most optimistic were pretty sure it won't get hardware vendor support for even a full year based on the specific processor it contains.
- oakhaven 10mo agoCan you please refer to the source of the Aliexpress design claim? I looked through https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46162368 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46162368 and there was nothing like that mentioned.
- Saris 10mo agoWhat phone with OLED, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and user replaceable battery is $100 on Aliexpress?
- aaravchen 10mo agoReplying to myself: Apparently I was mixing up the new Furilabs FLX1s and new Jolla phone. The FLX1s that's a major downgrade from the prior FLX1 and some people were reporting are based on a design that's really cheap on Aliexpress and using very old hardware but with a custom spin to add some physical switches to it. The new Jolla actually does look really good compared to all the other avaiaobale Linix phone hardware options.
- frogperson 10mo agohttps://liberux.net/ https://liberux.net/ looks promising as well.
- aaravchen 10mo agoWARNING: This is a Kickstarter device still, and needed funding to even create a proof of concept device last time it was discussed (extensively). It's a Flagship phone device and price, but with only the oldest of pans on how it's actually going to deliver some on of the promises.
