How can one be 100% sure of that?
Is there anyway to find out more about it?

Please define “Google Free” and what the Linux Kernel has to do with it.
You are not going to find a phone that is capable of running Android (like the C2 very likely is) running a kernel without Binder for example. Which is Android-specific and coming from Google.
And that is also in the mainline kernel.
You also will not find a “mainline” kernel without any Google contributions in it.

Dear @rainemak, I saw that you gave a status update regarding Sony Xperia 10 IV and V here: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/xperia-1-iv-5-iv-and-10-iv-support/11394/259 I guess many people appreciate the update.
Would it be possible to also give an update how things are progressing with the C2?

This document got a new revision today. Two issues were observed with the removal of AppSupport. The document covers those issues now.

Thanks a lot for the update, very appreciated!
One question about the Jolla C2 Community Phone:
Although user talk about it in some places here, I can’t find this information stated:
Will there be an usable fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone?
Thanks
Also about notification LED: Will there be one, or an equivalent?

No, there is no fingerprint sensor

Very interesting. It is present neither on the Reeder S19 Max Pro S nor on the Jolla C2 demonstrated on YouTube, but the screen protector shown in Jolla C2 Community Phone deliveries - #213 by rainemak appears to have a hole for it. Could it be a fingerprint sensor?
I haven’t noticed that when live… My guess woukd be a hint that you can pull up from either side since the device is wider.
The hole in the screen protector is unexplainable to me. Not only the Redeer does not come with a fingerprint sensor, but also a such hole is not needed for optical ones. And the sonic type is more expensive I would assume…

Does the same apply to capacitive sensors? Maybe the less expensive ones are not as sensitive and require a hole… Looking at the image more closely, it seems that the screen is still lit up in that area, so it is probably just a hint. But the hole suggests that it might have some interesting purpose.
Or maybe it will have two different functions
That was kindof genius from Sharp. They also created the first notched phone. I like fingerprint in that position, reminds me of one of the reasons I liked the P20 Pro…

Not everyone likes notifications by LED. Some even hate it. These attention seeking lights can be very disturbing. I hope the JollaC2 doesn’t have them.

The XA2 plus has one such a stripe on the bottom of the phone. If I swipe the screen with apps up, this lighted stripe comes on top. It marks the screen.
