Introducing a new European smartphone alternative

The Jolla Phone, launching in September 2026, is a community-driven Linux smartphone with 8GB RAM and a €649 price tag. Pre-orders are open for the first 1,000 units, with a €99 refundable down payment.

This device prioritizes privacy and user control, featuring a unique Physical Privacy Switch. Designed with input from the community, it aims to challenge mainstream tech giants and offer a truly independent alternative.

As the first batch prepares for delivery, Jolla encourages users to engage in its innovation program. This phone is not just a product; it's a movement towards a more private and customizable mobile experience.
