Hi Sailors,
Just saw on the Sony site that the Sony Xperia 10 IV is now also a Supported Device in the Open Device Program.
What does this mean for official support?
I would like to buy it in Black Friday if Jolla officially supports the device.
What do you think?
Supported Devices
Bye,

What does this mean for official support?
Possible? Sure.
Certain? Definitely not.
Support for 10 III was announced last May, so i wouldnāt expect it earlier than May 2023.
Would i buy a 10 IV now, if i had the chance (and wait for more than six months for official SFOS)? Probably. Without the support? That i honestly donāt know. But i guess itās a good phone, even with Android.
i faced this dilemma last year when the 10 III was on sale at black friday for Ā£290.
never came back down to that price, ended up buying one eight months later for Ā£330.
then again, iām still using my XA2 four months after installing SFOS on the 10 III because I canāt get mobile data to work on the new phoneā¦
Last year there was Xperia 10 III (lena) content in the public (mer-hybris) adaptation repos by Black Friday. Thatās a 98% guarantee in my book.
There is nothing about the IV yet.
Itād be really nice to know, phone is like half price right now.
At Amazon Black Friday in Germany the Xperia 10 IV costs only 374ā¬!
Xperia 10 IV seems to 299e in Finland currently.
Thatās sad that we donāt have any answer on the Xperia 10 IV sailfish OS port because the Xperia is at a special discount price on Amazon at the moment so weāre gonna miss the opportunity to have one at a cheap price.
I have taken the gamble at 341ā¬ for the Lavender colored one 
I have also taken the gamble at 299ā¬ in Finland
no need to hurry, they are available till march, usually
although 300 euro is a good price to ābuy now, think laterā
If the 10 ivās specās are identical to the 10 iii with the exception of the chip shouldnāt it be possible to run sfos ?
āā¦with the exception of the chipāā¦ Youāre joking, right? 
I took the gamble and picked up an Xperia 10 IV for 300ā¬. They might be cheaper later but 300ā¬ is still a good price. Previously I thought about buying the Xperia 10 III but the display quality was not that great. The Xperia 10 IV display is brighter and more vibrant so I take the gamble and hope that Xperia 10 IV will get an official Jolla supported Sailfish port.
Iām probably taking the same gamble. I use cheap one plus phone as My work phone. But I have tested Microsoftās apps in Sailfish Android and they seem to work well, so I think I ditch the Android phone and switch to Sailfish.
I use Sailfish phone most of the time and constantly fight with the android phoneās peculiarities. I donāt like it so I donāt want to learn how to use it efficiently. I rather get rid of it and get netter OS instead.
I bought sony Xperia 10iv only so that i can port it to sailfish osā¦my question now is wil it support xqcc72 version??? Sony made the smartphone but they dint add xqcc72 on the open device listā¦will i ever get to experience sailfish osā:disappointed:
