"Jolla has promised to release the final phone specifications by the end of the month, with shipping due for the first preorder customers at the end of June."
"Pienimäki imagines E Ink interfaces or low-bandwidth radios on the back of its upcoming phone-it has an I3C interface, which delivers bit rates up to 12 megabits per second."
"With more than 10,000 preorders since December 2025, Jolla is back in business but still far from mainstream."
"During the LTE days, there was thinking that these devices would revolutionize the market, but they never quite took off."
Jolla is reintroducing modular phone concepts with innovative accessories like a magnetic keyboard for smartphones. The Jolla Phone features advanced connectivity options, including pogo pins for power and data transfer. CEO Sami Pienimäki envisions new modular accessories utilizing E Ink displays and low-bandwidth radios. Jolla plans to finalize phone specifications soon, with over 10,000 preorders already received. Despite the excitement, modular phones have struggled to gain mainstream acceptance due to various challenges faced in the past.
