	tl;dr: Jolla is reviving its Sailfish OS phone with a 2026 successor to the original 2013 device, featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 7100, 6.36" AMOLED, replaceable battery/back cover, a physical privacy switch, and 5+ years of OS support for €649. The phone is sold via locked-price pre-order batches (over 10,000 units secured) due to volatile memory pricing, with shipments starting July 2026 to EU/UK/Switzerland/Norway. It runs Sailfish OS 5 with Android app support and emphasizes privacy, with no tracking or background telemetry.
	HN Discussion: ↓Sailfish OS is less open-source than marketing implies, with many closed components ↓Past negative experience with Jolla's first phone makes the company untrustworthy ↓Warning that Jolla ignores cancellation requests and community is hostile to criticism ~Other privacy-focused mobile alternatives like GrapheneOS are better paths to explore ↓Price is too high for what appears to be a mediocre Linux phone
