Jolla: Specs Updated Further
It looks like the Jolla website has been fully updated to reflect all the changes in more detail.
Scroll down the page and you’ll find more specs revealed as you venture further down the page on the official Jolla website. :-)
Some important additions include confirmation again of 4G LTE; there is also mention of Gorilla Glass 2; Micro Sim; and various power options for the other half as already reported.
Thanks to Reks for the tip!

I wish it is amoled screen.
I wish I wish for SAILFISH! :-)
Thats sold me gorilla glass 2,4G woop woop
OK. Gorila glass 2 make me more hapy after low RAM sad.. :)
For those of us with a normal-sized SIM, no phone for us ever?
get a micro sim from your operator?
Micro sim has been the standard for a while now – you can always request a micro sim from your operator, no ?
get a micro sim cutter
There are instructions all over the internet for cutting a normal SIM to micro-SIM size. Heck I cut my SIM to micro-SIM without any measures and it worked just fine.
Seems very fine.
Please consider HP Pre 3- like down-sliding keypad as one of the other half options. One hand operation in mind. And qwerty haters; please no comment that anyone does not need a keypad today. As far as I know very many of my friends should like it very much. And for marketing department also young ones.
But anyhow I am waitin my Jolla.
still no words on whether the alarm would wake a phone turned off? (UNLIKE android, ios and wp)?
that would keep me on the deal :)
but I admit I’m temped to buy s4 mini and trash preorder because of such low screen res (and ram as well, I have a E52 that I can’t use for serious browsing with opera because it always goes out of memory, I don’t want to find myself on the same boat in 2 years)
You’re disappointed about the screen resolution so you’re going to buy another phone with the exact same resolution?
Huh? S4 Mini is the same resolution screen and more expensive.
@c. la: Nokia E52 only had 256mb RAM = you simply cannot compare with 1GB RAM on Jolla Handset.
And memory (RAM) doesn’t always equate to high speed browsing for that you also need a fast processor and here you’re talking about 600mhz vs dual core 1.4ghz – again no comparison.
The e52 only had 128MB of RAM as did the e72.
It was a total joke of a phone. 3rd edition fp2 used more RAM than fp1 did but they didn’t bother adding any extra RAM so overall it was a worse experience than the previous generation.
Mate i reckon there jist a loadve samsung/ms trolls worried that jollas getting too much attention so trying to slag off to stamp out any competition
And in real world terms I’ve used 1.4ghz dual core coupled with 1GB Ram and it is super quick for browsing so really if you’re coming from E52 you won’t know yourself. ;-)
Been sold on Jolla for ages. Surprised by all the petty little whingers on Jolla sites. A more than competitive phone at a comparible price and Sailfish. Go buy your Dumbdroid S4 Mini if it makes you feel better. Jolla – deliver – ASAP.

Can anyone tell me what is jolla estrade display? Is it same like amoled? will i get low powerscreen notifications like my n9?
The Specs are okay for me. Can’t wait for the first test results…
Maybe thats a bit off topic here, but I wonder, if/how Jolla is concerned with the problem of inhumane production conditions f.i. in China (Foxconn et al)?? Way too few people / firms actually care in this respect. The people behind the “fairphone” try to do it better – don’t know, how successful. Where can I get more info on Jolla’s perspective conc. this topic?
Good question – they said they would be addressing environmental/ethical concerns but in the meantime, here’s a quote from JollaHQ: “We and our suppliers operate with the common ecologic and ethical standards.”
I agree with this concern. If Jolla can only succeed by labour exploitation (etc.) in certain countries we should all be asking whether it is worth it…
+1
I Need it here in South Africa,now
Btw guys check out this video by a Jolla developer, he confirms here that other half is definitely capable of handing a QWERTY keyboard! Jollatides should share this btw:
http://jollasuomi.fi/jollan-vesa-matti-hartikainen-qwerty-nappaimisto-on-yksi-other-half-mahdollisuus/
We reported on that here: /2013/08/20/vesa-matti-qwerty-is-technically-a-possibility/
Just a thought: the Other Half looks optimal for implementing an Unlike keyboard on the back panel of the phone for those interested in doing things in a completely new way. I’m talking about the hardware version of the chorded keyboard GKOS with 6 physical keys, with optional help on the screen for as long as needed. See http://gkos.com
I’m actually getting less and less excited for the Jolla. The resolution while acceptable, is a disappointment and we’ve heard nothing about a sleeping screen/hw keyboard. No sleeping screen would be an absolute total showstopper for me. Being that this was such an integral feature of the N9, I’m hoping Jolla are just choosing not to talk about it until they’re closer to launch.
Is there any news as to which ‘other half’ those of us who invested our €100 will be offered? Will we get to choose? That might be fun!
Re the picture: now the volume buttons and power button are back on the left side???
In total , I’m still positive about the Jolla. Sure, a higher screen resolution would be nice, but it’s acceptable. For now, other issues in the development process are more important. We’re going on a great adventure with Jolla, and the first phone is just the first step.
They’re still using the original renders on the website – the buttons should be on the RHS.
Yes. I happy and pleased with Jolla Sailfish, too. I recogn’ a lot of improvement and developments when compared to my old N9. Goog Jolla, keep going. All the best! I’m waiting for my prebooked Jolla phone very eagerly.
I really don’t understand what all the fuzz is about. Higher screen resolution means lower battery life.
Don’t think Jolla phone is overpriced also. Many have compared Jolla phone to SG4 mini and bb z10. Those phones have been on the market for a while now and their prices have gone down. And both z10 and SG4 mini cost over 400€ when released.
For fracks sake Jolla has the same amount of RAM as iPhone5 and apple is doing fine. Sailfish is an iOS killer. So no it has never been about the HW it’s about the software.
In what way is Sailfish an iOS ‘killer’? It’s a high risk strategy to claim a new OS is ‘better’ than the world’s leader. Surely the emphasis should be on ‘it’s different’ and let users decide… An OS – any OS – which does what the user needs is fine. How it does it is personal preference.
You seem so jealous of Sailfish in the reply mate! -_-’ :D
True true… just trolling.. sry. But when you think about it iPhone never had very high specs and people still go wow about it. Android needs quad cores which tells (at least to me) that it is not a very balanced OS. So in a sense you can compare Sailfish to iOS since both run fine with low specs. iPhone is just much much more expensive.
Absolutely – it’s the balance between HW and SW which, if correct, produces optimum performance. I’m currently using a 4S and to be honest when my 5S arrives I doubt I’ll notice the ‘improvement’. (And yes, that does make it too expensive). If I can say the same thing about my Jolla (hopefully in 2013) then it’ll be a success – I really don’t want to start “noticing” my phone… A well balanced user experience means all the tasks one want to accomplish just flow. Unobtrusively and without unnecessary clutter.
I thought the iphone had already been killed. Silly me
Sorry if i overread this but did anyone read what Bluetooth / Wifi versions the Jolla will have?
By the way; where is charging plug place ? Hope not on top like Lumia 610.
Have you guys checked this?
http://neo900.org/
This is awesome! Finally an actual device which has an integrated QWERTY! Kudos to you for digging this out man! :D
Wi-Fi? Bluetooth? Both in the other half?
I prefer not paying for internet all the time and would like to use Wi-Fi for that..
Of course it has WiFi and Bluetooth. It’s just too obvious a spec to list.
About the CPU, does anyone know if is it the Snapdragon 200 or 400? I think both have the Adreno 3xx GPUs, which means OpenGL ES 3.0 and OpenCL support.
Looks like good old Nokia N900 – the first & last Maemo phone.I still have one somewhere…:-)
