Jolla said the project is profitable at about 7000 units so this is a big milestone.

Was it before the ram prices increased ?
That is if you assume Jolla will use DDR5/DDR5X ram. They just say 12gb of RAM so It could very well be something older, slower and not affected by the price increase.
As far as I remember they will reveal everything in a couple of months before they ask for the full payment.
So let’s hope that they offer enough to convince people to actually commit and not ask for a refund!

I really hope that they don’t lower the specs to stay on price target, especially for pre-orders. Yes, it’s nice to get the device cheaper as a pre-order bonus, but I would be willing to pay the full price to avoid a switch to older components as planned just to keep the low.

I agree. But for sfos I do not expect or believe that faster ram or UFS storage as an example would make a huge difference.
I’m mostly concerned with the SOC for longevity regarding Android apps.
And from the software side of things, the Android 13 level in AAS while the phone will ship when Android 17 will be out.

It would be amazing to jump to for example to android 15. But might be a little bit push for the launch. Let’s hope that some upgrade on that front comes this year

Hi,
I had a quick look around the Announcements forum and the recent threads and this thread, and I’m not seeing updates about how and when manufacturing and final payments are going to go now that the MOQs have been met. Any news on that front?
Updates are always nice - but if the original estimates for those activities have not changed, it’s not like they would say a lot. What about the original information do you find insufficient? It has only been three normal working days for most people this year anyway.

Bah, I somehow completely missed it in the FAQs. Found it now and all good.

Exactly. We know what “they are shooting for” and we will get the finalized specs before the full payment
