Jolla Phone launched in India: A new player enters the game

New Delhi: Jolla has recently introduced its latest Jolla Phone in India, marking the company’s return to smartphones after several years. This device follows the original 2013 model and retains its modular, repair-friendly design with the nostalgic replaceable back cover and battery. It is positioned as the community-driven Sailfish OS device with a strong focus on privacy, by offering hardware-level controls and long-term software support. The global pre-order target of 2,000 units has already been crossed, with the confirmation of production. Jolla stated deliveries will begin by the end of H1 2026 for supported regions, with the broader rollout expected later.

The Jolla Phone is available through a pre-order structure; buyers must pay around Rs 10,409 as a deposit to reserve the device. The total pre-order price is around Rs 52,465. The final retail price is expected to range between Rs 62,980 and Rs 73,495. These prices reflect the global pre-order values; Jolla is yet to confirm India-specific pricing or the local availability timelines. The device features a 6.36-inch Full HD AMOLED display, which is protected by Gorilla Glass. It runs on an unspecified MediaTek 5G chipset, which is paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, expandable up to 2TB through microSDXC.

The device comes with a dual camera setup, which includes a 50MP primary camera sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide camera sensor, while the front camera details are still not disclosed. The connectivity options include 5G, dual nano-SIM support, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC. The main highlight is the physical Privacy Switch, which can disable the microphone, camera, Bluetooth or Android components. The device runs Sailfish OS 5 and supports Android applications through Jolla AppSupport. The device houses a 5,500mAh battery pack, which is user-replaceable, and the phone also features an RGB notification LED and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
