An Independent Linux Phone
A successor to the iconic original Jolla Phone from 2013, brought to 2026 with modern specs and honoring the Jolla heritage design.
A phone you can actually daily-drive. Still Private. Still Yours.
A True Alternative, Not a Fork of Big Tech
The Jolla Phone is not based on Big Tech technology. It is governed by European privacy thinking and a community-led model.
Defined together with the Community
Sailfish OS community members voted on what the next Jolla device should be. The key characteristics, specifications and features of the device.
Based on community voting and real user needs, this device has only one mission:
Put control back in your hands.
Your phone, your apps, your control
Run native Sailfish apps, Android apps with AppSupport, or go fully de-Googled whenever you wish – simply by shutting down the Android apps.
Still a real Linux phone
Not a walled garden. Not a pseudo-Linux. Actual Linux. Actual control.
Privacy You Can Trust
Unlike mainstream phones, Sailfish OS is designed not to harvest your data. No trackers. No profiling. No data monetisation. Your phone should work for you, not exploit you.
-
Built for Longevity
Sailfish OS is proven to outlive mainstream support cycles. Long-term OS support, guaranteed for minimum 5 years. Incremental updates, and no forced obsolescence.
-
Your Phone Shouldn’t Spy on You
Mainstream phones send vast amounts of background data. A common Android phone sends megabytes of data per day to Google even if the device is not used at all.
Sailfish OS stays silent unless you explicitly allow connections.
DIT: DO IT TOGETHER
This isn’t your regular smartphone project.
It’s a community mission.
- You voted on the device
- You guided its specs and definition
- You shaped the philosophy
- And now you help bring it to life

FAQ
Why a batch sales model?
We source components and produce in limited batches.
Further, the memory component prices and availability have been exceptionally volatile over the past quarters and the forecasts remain such for the whole 2026. This is precisely why we structured our pre-orders in limited batches with locked prices, so we could plan component procurement and honour the price we committed to you.
Is the purchase refundable?
Yes. Fully.
We refund all payments upon request. While making a request please note to detail your order number and proof of payment.
For the time being our refund process is manual and it will take some time to process your request. Rest assured, you will get your money back if you have requested. 100% guarantee.
What changed between batches?
Pre-order batches #1, #2, #3, and the first 1000 and second 2000 units of the Sep 2026 are now locked.

All orders include a refundable 99€ down payment, deducted from your final payment.

Will the Jolla Phone work outside Europe, can I use it e.g. in the U.S.?
Yes, we have designed the cellular band configuration to enable global traveling as much as possible, including e.g. roaming in the U.S. carrier networks.
Can I buy the Jolla Phone if I’m outside Europe, can I use it e.g. in the U.S.?
The initial sales markets are EU, UK, Switzerland and Norway. Entering other markets, such as the U.S. and Canada are to be decided due course based on potential interest from the areas.
