Sony Xperia 5 II

I’m thinking of buying this phone. It’s almost perfect (minus google). Can I install sailfish on this phone? Thank you in advance for discussing possibilities here.

Unfortunately no. Available devices can be found at shop.jolla.com too and there are multiple threads on JollaTogether and here on forum too for instance Sailfish OS and phones

Oh, man. I would love SFOS (with AD) on this device, too!
And with 5G it is fit for the future.

The phone is in the open devices program at least…

I admit I want this device still, though personally the Fairphone 5 is now more attractive; that’s not to say this device ain’t.
If there’s any tech savy peeps, that own the device, you could probably help port it, since there is a port for the previous year model. You could probably extend from it

Look no further:

How much work would it be to port your project to 5 III? I only done some Android rom porting in the past and sometimes it was as easy as changing the base blobs but suspect this might be a bit more work.
