Forget Android vs iOS: This new privacy-focused Linux phone promises to be the alternative we need, but it still runs Android apps.

• There’s a new Jolla phone up for pre-order, running Linux-based Sailfish OS 5
• Even though it doesn’t run Android, it still supports many Android apps.
• It is privacy-focused and has a privacy key and user-replaceable battery.

If you’re tuned into the smartphone world, you may have heard of Jolla, a company that made its name with Sailfish OS, which is its own Linux-based operating system and originally launched with the Jolla Phone in 2013. Since then, we haven’t heard much about the company, but now it’s back with a new phone, also called the Jolla Phone.

This device runs Sailfish OS 5, so it’s one of the very few smartphones that runs neither Android nor iOS, providing a refreshing alternative to anyone who’s tired of the big two.
