    Yes, there’s no mainline kernel support. They just use the downstream kernel from the phone vendor. This also means they cannot provide security updates for longer than the device’s vendor, which in Sony’s case isn’t even much support at all.

      I was thinking about their own phones, not Sailfish for other vendors

      For example their community phone or their new Jolla phone

        The C2 is just a rebranded Reeder S19 Max Pro S, a cheap Android phone from a Turkish company.

        Some people even buy the phone from Turkey and flash Sailfish OS onto it themselves.

        @naeap @erebion Yes, C2 is also using #Libhybris however, there is some mainlining effort, but it does not seem to be easier than for other unlocked Android phones, see the talk or slides at https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/9KYVGM-jolla-c2/
