The Finnish company Jolla is back with the Linux-powered Jolla Phone. It’s being positioned as an antidote to the US-dominated smartphone status quo of Android and iOS.

    My problem with Sailfish is the UI is proprietary, which is a step back from Android. I also don’t think this phone uses a mainline kernel, which limits long-term support to whenever their chosen LTS kernel goes EOL.

    What I want is a phone that has a fully functional mainline Linux kernel, which currently does not exist. It’d be even better if the primary bootloader was replacable, similar to how coreboot can be installed on some laptops.

    It is very nice to see a phone with a removable battery and a microSD card slot, though.
