Probably not. Pixels are very easy to be ported and, what it is more important it is a well established policy to continue that way so unlikely to change. Xperia’s are good too, discounted the proprietary Camera keys and, like Pixel, Sony has been consistent with its commitment with ports. Now, what I think took SailfishOS to concentrate in Sony’s is that, at that time, Pixels were not as popular as Xperia’s, and… well… Google.
But the tables are turned now, Pixel is a popular line and Xperia… well, can disappear any day now. Sailfish does not have resources for more ports lines and, being a Russia’s provider the one paying the bills and that, any time the USA can make Pixels difficult to be exported there… you understand why Sailfish is in a very precarious position here.
Sailfish needs a radical change of course here, either enter a partnership with a different emergent hardware provider (Fairphone, Volla Phone, etc) or even, now that Xperia is ailing, it is also in a better position for them also to take a radical shift and recognize that 2021 is not 2012 and a important segment of customers preferences had sifted radically from Android and experiment with a new OS… an unlikely radical change from a traditional Sony though.
Finally, Sailfish also should consider open up the OS completely, it is risky, they did tried and got a harsh response from us consumers, but many of us have changed and now are willing to pay for privacy when 4 years ago we wouldn’t. I don’t blame them though, it is easy to talk…
What has moved your from your “almost perfect” Pixel 3a’s AOSP (GrapheneOS?) to here?
