Here are a couple of photos of me playing around with the new #Jolla #smartphone (or pocket computer, as I like to call it). While I’m still fond of slightly smaller phones, I realise there aren’t many good options for that, unless you have the capital for a custom screen. However due to the shape and texture (not slippery), it was quite easy for me to reach all round the bottom half. Much easier than on iPhones. The balance also gave me confidence it would not fall out.

The screen has a subtle edge curve which helps with the #Jolla gestures. The screen was bright and colours saturated. Everything worked smooth and rapid, but then again the same could mostly be said about my old Sony Xperia 10ii running #Sailfish. I didn’t have the time to do in-depth tests with Android apps.

One thing I noticed was the lack of text prediction/correction. That’s apparently something being looked into (the Xperia build has it).

Overall I’m impressed with what #Jolla has pulled off with this phone. It’s a smart looking piece of kit and the attention is deserved. A lot of work still ahead of course but with everyone talking about digital sovereignty this could end up going places.
