Jolla Smartphones :
Ex-Nokia employees formed the mobile phone company, called Jolla has officially launched its first Phone. It will be initially available in Finland. The first handset from Finnish Smartphone startup Jolla is simply called Jolla.For the past two years, Jolla has been working towards the launch of its Linux-based Sailfish OS, which it hopes OEMs will license, and which will feature on its own 'Other Half' smartphone.
The Jolla handset will run on the Sailfish OS, which is itself based on the former MeeGo platform developed by Nokia and Intel several years ago to produce Linux-based smartphone software. Sailfish Can run Android apps and it also integrates Nokia's Here mapping and positioning technology. The Jolla's strength in having lighter software stack-underpinned by the Qt framework, which provides the basis for its native apps and its UI.
With its two-tone split, the Jolla phone is distinctive. It looks almost like two phones squashed together. Both the glass front and plastic back are very plain, minimalist design quite attractive -- particularly with the bright, lime green case.
The phone measures 131mm long, 68m wide, and is 9.9mm thick. It's hardly the slimmest phone around, nor is it the lightest, but it's easy enough to hold and more comfortable to type on one-handed than any of the 5-inch and 6-inch phablets.
Its specification as relatively mid-range - with a 4.5"display, a dual-core chip, 4G, an 8MP camera plus 16GB of internal memory expandable via microSD card, with a talk time of some 9 to 10 hours. But it has nice touches, including multiple swipe features and a useful user-replaceable battery, unlike many other models.
Supports fast 4G Internet connections and includes the well-received Nokia's HERE mapping services that cover more than 190 countries.
The screen resolution is 960x540 pixels which looks very sharp on the beautiful 4,5 inch screen - no pixels can be distinguished with the bare eye. All the usual sensors are included (compass, gyrometer, acceleration, ambient light). The GPS is a dual chip with Glonass, so it will be able to figure out the location quickly - even inside vehicles or indoors. The battery is user-replaceable and has a capacity of 2100 mAh. Price tag of 399 euros ($596).
