Hi there,
As noted in the previous community meeting, we’d like to define the next gen Jolla Phone together with the community.
Now, we’ve been offered access to a good quality modern 5G smartphone platform and we’d love to hear everyone’s opinion on the key configuration specifications and also to get a feeling of the potential demand for such a product.
To make the next gen Jolla Phone commercially viable we estimate that we should get in minimum 2,000 pre-orders so we can start the project. If we get a good grip on the specs and the sufficient demand, you can think the product could be available then in Q1/2026.
Memory
The memory (RAM) goes in hand with the SoC itself and to some extent with the eMMC, so please mark your preference considering both memory (RAM) & Internal Storage (eMMC) as combined together. Note that the memory has high impact to the overall Bill-of-Material (BOM) and likely we can offer only one combined memory configuration initially.
Memory (RAM)
- 12 GB
- 16 GB
- 24 GB
Internal Storage (eMMC)
- 128 GB
- 256 GB
- 512 GB
- 1024 GB
Display
Higher the resolution/ppi, stronger the GPU has to be and more it needs to compute. Bigger the display there is more to illuminate. All this means higher power consumption from the battery. Further, the display size in practice pretty much defines also the max battery size (=capacity) that can fit to the housing structure. Thus, with a smaller display, the battery will be smaller and with a larger display it is easier to fit a high capacity battery.
So please mark your preference considering the different aspects.
Size
- ~5" (~128mm diagonal, like original Jolla C 2016 and Sony Xperia X)
- ~6" (~154mm diagonal, like Sony Xperia 10 II/III/IV/V)
- ~7" (~179mm diagonal, like Jolla C2)
Resolution
- Full HD
- Something in between
- 4K
Cameras
The phone will have a high definition primary (back) camera and a selfie (front) camera by default. In addition, we’re particularly interested on the selfie and secondary camera preferences; ultra wide lens, zoom or something else?
Primary (back) camera: High Definition
Secondary (back) camera
- Ultra wide
- Zoom camera
- Other (and you may also leave a comment in the thread below)
Selfie (front) camera
- Wide lens
- Prefer megapixels
- Other (and you may also leave a comment in the thread below)
Other items in priority order
Note: consider this as additional wishlist. Having all the bells’n’whistles won’t be feasible for the product but we can try to prioritise items based on the preferences. Therefore it is important for us to know your priority preferences. You may leave items also blank.
- Self-replaceable battery
- Repairability
- Front RGB LED
- 3.5mm audio jack
- External memory devices (SD card, USB-C etc.)
- Dual SIM
- Fingerprint
- Better support for Bluetooth accessories (e.g. to support wearable devices, Bluetooth for Android apps)
- WiFi 6/7 connectivity
- BT 5.4
Price point
Considering all above and your preferences, how much would you be ready to pay for your phone? The configuration sets the cost base, and in particular the memory, display and cameras have high impact to the overall Bill-of-Material (BOM). Below price categories would include local taxes.
- less than 600€
- 600€ to 800€
- 800€ to 1000€
- even over 1000€ is ok for me!
Markets
The initial market for the phone will be Europe, and we look forward to enable the product to other markets. Thus, we’d love learn where are you from?
- European Union (EU area)
- non-EU Europe
- North Americas
- Other (and you may also leave a comment in the thread below)
Note that this questionary is not any commitment for you to order the phone and vice versa for us to make it - we just want to hear your views and understand the potential.
So, call to action for everyone out there - please spread the word so we get as many persons as possible to vote and share their views, and that we can make this happen! We intend to keep this initial questionaire open couple of weeks.
