Is the Jolla Phone 2 open source like the Pinephone? If not, I’m not buying it. Isn’t the default OS that comes with the phone, Sailfish OS, partially proprietary?

The 8GB/128GB version costs 649€
I’ll probably get the foldable Google Pixel in six years and will install GrapheneOS on it.

And I hope this will meet all your needs 🤗
I doubt the folding mechanism will last that long and they might not be easily available by then.
I have a Pixel 9 Pro Fold with GrapheneOS on it. Supposedly, the hinge has been tested to 200k folds with no issue, and it does indeed feel solid. I only use the inside screen a few times a day max though, so there’s no way I’m going to verify anywhere close to 200k folds before something else fails or just gets too outdated. It might not hold up for someone who abuses their tech a lot, but I haven’t broken a single phone screen in 20 years often just running with a case and no screen protection, and I expect I’m not the only one in that market.
It’s worth mentioning that I bought the phone new and unlocked but at a massive bargain ($720 USD). I definitely would not have grabbed it near full price.
massive bargain ($720 USD)
Wow. Guess you have a wildly different definition of what a bargain is. I’d never even consider paying that much for a phone.
this is an incredibly, improbably shit video.
Thanks for your feedback 🫶
the video blows, dude. jolla are opensource takers, they don’t have a free tier so you can’t just install it and take it for a spin. so an actual “here’s how it works” video is beneficial.
my contention is that sailfish should be the next thing, after wrangling it out of the hands of those fucks. not forked android, not tweaked gnome shell on postmarketos.
this video wastes time on converting imaginary people over who don’t know they’re being spied on (the three hour long, or so it felt, intro with pichai and friends) showing ubuntu touch (wtf) and the presenter’s face in the frame for what feels like 90% of the video.
this is a shit video on its own and especially for the target audience here.
GrapheneOS user, I presume.
Waiting for mine that should arrive by the end of August :)
