I know nothing about this company or the phone. But it says it runs linux.
khobochka@mesamunefire I've been using #sailfishos for years now, starting with the #Jolla phone launched in 2013, which I got in 2014.
My current daily driver is Xperia XAII with SFOS, on which I use:
* Android apps: Signal, ProtonMail, OpenFoodFacts, AntennaPod and Husky to name a few;
* 2 SIMs;
* terminal+shell for small personal automations;
* lots of native apps, like camera, browser, offline maps (PureMaps), translators, dicts, music players and so on.
Also, I love its UI: beautiful and simple.

@mesamunefire It's tiring to read people repeating BS, so, to stress:
1. It extends life of second-hand phones, even though the selection is fairly small.
2. You pay 5 euro once to buy the OS.
If you wish, you can help people maintaining it to keep a sustainable funding by making your payment a monthly one.
3. Presence of closed-source components doesn't make it less a #linuxmobile OS, or less of an actual working alternative to the choice between "the douche and the turd" of mobile OSes.
Darkmm (free 🇵🇸)@khobochka @mesamunefire #sailfishos is a great system out of all Linux phonesos and is still the most useful. I have used the Nokia N9(Meego), and then, after a few years continued with Xperia and the Xperia 10 and then stop using and try #GrapheneOS, I are currently "playing" with the Oneplus 6t on #postmarketos but I watch the used Xperia 10 III to a new phone, and move to the Sailfish os again.
@mrakmm @mesamunefire yep, this is relatable (only I never had N9). I'm also currently playing with #postmarketos without much practical success, and also eyeing the next phone for SailfishOS, but stuck undecided because my current Xperia, despite being old, is still usable, so getting yet another piece of hardware feels kinda bad.
