Building downloadable Sailfish OS and next steps of Jolla with Sailfish 3
summary
Company builds a downloadable OS image called Sailfish X for Xperia X by using Sony’s Open Devices program, community ports and a small in-house team of ~50 people; porting effort runs about half the usual cost and time. The project relies on public repos, delivers over-the-air updates, and adds features like fingerprint, dual‑SIM support and a graphical installer. Sailfish 3 upgrades core stack to Qt 5.9 and modernizes Android runtime (from 4.4.4), targets wearables and feature phones, and follows a history backed by 75 million USD invested and an app catalog of 4,000 apps.
