Domestic Jolla has its roots in the year 2011 and former Nokia MeeGo project employees. The company’s first phone, Jolla, was released exactly seven years ago, 27. November 2013

Jolla’s first phone once aroused a lot of interest, but the popularity never really took off. However, the company never gave up the cult popularity of its phone, but has supported it to this day as much as 34 in the form of an operating system update. The current Sailfish OS 3.4.0 “Pallas-Yllästunturi” will remain the last officially supported version of Sailfish on the original Jolla phone.

A blog post published by Sami Pienimäki, CEO of Jolla, one of the founders, states that the reasons for ending Jolla 1’s upgrade support are very practical. Its Android app support is badly outdated and cannot be upgraded due to its antique architecture, it is the only product in the company that relies on the old 3.4 kernel version, which prevents the phone from taking advantage of new features, and its outdated BlueZ 4 Bluetooth support has become difficult to maintain. . However, a seven-year support period can be considered exceptionally long in the mobile world, where there is usually talk of a couple of three-year support periods.

We immersed in the news Jolla’s original release video to bleed up memories of the end of Jolla’s first support.
