Jolla Jolla Phone Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Rahul Gupta]()
Verdict
Well, this is quite subjective and will vary from user to user when it comes to a new device. Moreover, here we are talking about a completely new ecosystem all together. Having said that, the Jolla smartphone has got the potential to make users give up their Android and iOS devices for some better functionality which is user-friendly. If anyone values better user experience over faster hardware (on paper) then this device should be worth a look.The Jolla offers a completely new way of using a smartphone and has offered something very polished for a first attempt although there a few minor gl...

Alluring simplicity
+
It’s hard to become a fan of the simple yet intriguing design that the Jolla smartphone offers immediately, but it grows on you. The device is simple in every possible way as far as design goes, but there are quite a few many intricate details that make it a delight.

A display that offers lovely colours
+
While most smartphones are going with 5-inch plus display sizes and full HD plus resolutions, the Jolla sticks to a more conventional approach by offering a smaller 4.5-inch display. Now Jolla has been designed around one-handed functionality and a compact screen perfectly gels with the ideology. The device has no hardware buttons on the front, or to control the user interface. Instead, the display and the touch panel doubles up as the input method for the phone by providing navigation completely based on the use of gestures.

The gesture-based sailfish operating system

We are not going to get in to the technical details of the Sailfish operating system, but we would definitely like to share our experience of using it as our daily driver.

A snappy snapper
+
Well again, the camera is where Jolla falls short in terms of pure numbers. The smartphone rocks an 8-megapixel camera at the back that comes with a LED flash for illumination during low-light conditions. For photography lovers, the Jolla might just fall a little short of the expectations because of its low megapixel number, especially since 13-megapixel cameras are the norm on similarly-priced handsets. However, the device focusses more on quality and that same is the case with this 8-meg shooter, which aims at offering good imagery overall.

Not speedy but optimised hardware
+
When it comes to the hardware, the Jolla can't really be called loaded. The device is based on a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at a nimble 1.4GHz, which is aided by 1GB RAM to do all the processing and multitasking. As per today’s standards, dual-core processors are only found in budget devices. However even with these hardware specs, the Jolla smartphone managed to offer fluid performance through the course of our review, and never hung or froze.
