Seasonal greetings, Time for a monthly update after Next gen Jolla Phone update - 11/25. As noted here and there, the start of the new Jolla Phone project has been amazing and we have just this morning passed 6,000 pre-orders! A bit of Call-to-Action for us all here. While the 6k mark is an outstanding achievement by now, we have set the next target to 10,000 units by end of January, 2026 and to unlock the new TOH. We need your help on achieving that. We are planning to introduce a referra...

SoC and modem

  • The SoC will be an unpublished MediaTek Dimensity 7000 series chipset. As it is still unpublished we can’t disclose details about it and need to wait the SoC vendor publications
  • For the 12/256GB memories we’re shooting for LPDDR5 for the RAM and UFS3.1 for the mass storage, both from top tier Korean vendors. Please note, there is an unseen global shortage on memory chips which may effect the availability of memory types, thus we’ll confirm the particular memory types closer to the mass production.
  • For the cellular bands we have been able to fit the following 4G & 5G bands:
    • LTE FDD: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28AB, 66
    • LTE TDD: 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 5G NR: n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n26, n28, n38, n40, n41, n66, n77, n78
  • In regards the SIM configuration, it will be a single tray dual-sided nano-SIM with a separate slot for the microSDXC. I.e. in total 3-slots in one tray.

Cameras

  • The primary back camera will feature Sony IMX766 AF 50MP sensor module, known for its quality and performance within the price range The secondary back camera will be a 13MP ultrawide AF Sony IMX214
  • Front camera is set to be a 32MP wide lens FF Sony IMX616

Size and the battery

we’re able to find a physically smaller (and slimmer) battery on the same capacity, i.e with a higher density. (…) Thus, the length of the device looks like will be 1-2mm shorter than the original spec.

    Hope they get to 10K.

    I am on Samsung/Android, but I will not be paying for American platforms after this (my A73 works really well considering considering that I have had nearly 3 years). To be honest, I have zero desire to upgrade.

    I hope Jolla can develop a sustainable consumer business that’s fundamentally different from the US/Chinese model.

      I’m currently quite happy with GrapheneOS on an older getting pixel, but as you said, the choice in platforms is pretty much non existent.

      So, I’m rooting for Jolla - and hopefully even some more diversity

      I’m currently pretty hyped with my pre-order Hopefully it works out… Although I’m afraid my banking apps will be on risk and I’ll need an alternative

      If anyone with Sailfish OS (and their android compatibility layer) running could chime in…
