There aren’t many viable choices in 2025 if you want a smartphone that isn’t running Android or iOS. However, Jolla’s Sailfish OS platform is one of the few alternatives on the market, and the company just launched the new Jolla Phone.

Expect a Google-free mobile platform that’s free of “hidden analytics,” while still supporting Android apps. I wondered whether Android Authority readers would be open to buying a Sailfish OS phone, so here’s what you told us.
