Here and in a departure from the concept of habitual users of the appearance, and the use of its own under the name OC Sailfish.
When the first phone Jolla C review came to light around it was hype and false expectations, but “unreasonable” is not in a negative context. Rather, from a smartphone wanted more and it was hard to reconcile with some flaws. And then, finally, the Finnish company presents its new brainchild – Jolla C, a small smartphone available in limited edition (on the body even wrote Limited edition).
We were lucky enough to be one of the few who can test a smartphone and a new operating system.
EQUIPMENT
The phone Jolla C review comes in a small box of thick cardboard coated with a light, like the last time code of the operating system Sailfish. The capsule is made up of two parts: a base housing and retractable from it, which lies Jolla C, filling the entire space of the package. Underneath it is a short USB-cable and accompanying documentation. And yet. No power supply or the headphone cable is even shorter!
Strange? Yes.
Strange? Yes.
APPEARANCE
If phone Jolla C review housing consists of two halves of plastic-blocks attached to each other. Unfortunately, the information that is made from a plastic phone Jolla C review is not here, but is it important? The assembly is good, the back panel does not flex under pressure, no backlash – and this is something that isn’t really worth paying attention.
The entire front side is covered with glass and slightly recessed into the casing, the top screen is additionally coated with a protective film, which has a tendency to scratch. What to do after it comes into disrepair – is unclear, find the other the same will not work, and whether there is a protective coating in the smartphone apart from the film – is unclear and unlikely.
Five-inch display has a small frame. Above it, there is nothing covered speaker, LED lighting, and front camera lens. Below there are no usual keys, everything is controlled by gestures directly on the screen.
The back panel is removable and is made of matte plastic, from which it almost does not collect fingerprints. Located in the center of the top main camera lens and LED flash. In the center – the company logo, made in the tone of the body, but the glossy plastic.
Bottom left is a small sticker that indicates where you want to open the back cover.
Beneath it is a removable battery, two slots for SIM-card and one for the microSD memory card.
On top of the butt handed jacks for headphones and a microUSB.
On top of the butt handed jacks for headphones and a microUSB.
On the right side are the power button and volume control. The left side is empty.
The phone Jolla C review has been able to bring in its design a new formula: the rigor and conciseness with bright elements.
On the one hand, we have a rectangular gadget with sharp corners and edges, which is uncomfortable to hold, on the other – a bright element in the form of the back cover frosted material and bright glossy logo insert.
Apparently the cover, as in the past smartphone work with the concept of «Other Half» and change the color of the wallpaper and interface when changing.
DISPLAY
The phone Jolla C review was 5-inch display with HD-resolution of 1280×720 pixels and a pixel density of 294 ppi. The template used IPS, multi-touch technology supports up to five simultaneous touches.
Of course, the screen size of the date. Now, in 2016, even at the cost of devices have FullHD and high pixel density. And although the screen can not be called Jolla C bad, but compared to today’s devices, he loses.
Reserve enough brightness for comfortable work with your smartphone in bright sunlight.

As is characteristic of IPS-matrix, wide viewing angles. Natural color rendition and contrast, as well as the color temperature, can be set in the settings screen.
The phone Jolla C review has display can not be called weak, on the contrary, it simply enough to work after high resolution and brightness of the giants.
THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND INTERFACE
And here phone Jolla C review we come to the most interesting point of view. The operating system Sailfish OS 2. We already wrote about it in the review of the first smartphone Jolla, but still, consider it a new version more.
The phone Jolla C review running Sailfish OS Aurajoki to upgrade to Fiskarsinjoki, which is a modified version of the second system. If you do not know, we recall that the main feature of the new OS is to work with the system by means of gestures.
Speaking of control gestures, I think it’s pretty strange only at first. Also, it was strange to move with the keys on the sensor. Sooner or later you will get used.
The interface looks nice at first. Especially after the usual type of iOS and Android OS, the eyes rejoices something new. But by the end of testing, I clearly understood – not mine.
To activate the screen, you can perform one of three actions: press the power key, double touch the screen or swipe left or right. As you prefer. The reaction to lightning gestures.
To unlock, pull from the left or right edge. Before us is a blank desktop or thumbnails of all applications running before. The most pleasant feature: this status and the ability to work in a miniature program. That is, it does not even need to expand to fill the screen, but it was in the first version. If the applications are closed, in order to open the application menu should be soapnut from the bottom edge. And, in the settings menu, in the Applications menu – in front of each name drawn icon indicating the program / option.
To open the notifications panel to do swipe left or right across the screen unlocked.
Swipe down from the top makes it possible to lock the screen and some desktop themes. Unfortunately, by the standard, to establish a third-party personalization is impossible.
To open the context menu in the programs need to do the swipe from the top edge, while under the finger scrolling occurs application points, and you stop at a desired, release your finger. But this, too, we have seen.
From the pre-installed software in the Sailfish is a calendar, calculator, notes, and the weather – the most necessary and often caused. Immediately, the detailed instructions, explaining the work with the system through gestures.
One of the key advantages of the system is that there is no problem of limited programs written for the new Sailfish. All that you need – is to download a third-party app store for Android and install everything you need. Most downloaded programs are installed and operate stably.
Generally, during testing, I did not have the feeling that OS raw, unfinished and full of bugs. And though there are tiny flaws in the form of lack of third-party personalization, they seem insignificant compared to the disadvantages in the management of gestures. Yes, you quickly get used to them, but then the interface bore down on you just in all possible control options – buttons “back”, the options menu from the top edge of all this confusing and each new screen is necessary to study its capabilities before anything a try.
We should also mention totally dead and useless Store apps and games – for a long time hung application for taking screenshots in the App, as this feature was not in the system itself and many even after the update did not find how to use it. Just look at these horrible and disgusting game application – if the Windows Phone store can be considered dead, then not even a shop Sailfish title of his condition.
IRON
As the processor, the phone Jolla C review received a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 clocked at 1.3 GHz. RAM – 2 GB built-in – 16 GB expandable. Responsible for the graphics Adreno 304.
Pretty tough talk about smartphone performance. On the one hand, he initially budgetary iron, calculated at the last-year-old device. However, with the daily tasks and the launch and work with Android programs it manages.
For all the time use did not raise any critical freezes, locked up the browser or departure programs. No, work smoothly and quickly.
COMMUNICATION
The phone Jolla C review works in networks GSM, WCDMA, and LTE, supports wireless interfaces Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and navigation services, GPS and GLONASS.
As mentioned earlier, supported by work with the two microSIM, while in front of you is not a choice between the use of two SIM-cards or memory cards. The smartphone three slots.
Separately, talk and work with contacts. Unfortunately, you can not display the entire list of contacts, in front of you will be the alphabet, with illuminated letters, for which there are contacts, starting with these letters. And it superstratum.
To record a new number, you need to bring up the keyboard from the context menu. From it, you can click on the icon “Call” and you will be in front of the same alphabet, through which you can go to the desired entry.
To answer a call you need to pull the top down and tap on the button “reply”. To reset – from the bottom up and tap on “ignore”.

BATTERY
The phone Jolla C review has a capacity of 2500 mAh battery that initially seems a small amount, but we’re talking about a device with new operating system and weak iron. So what we get as a result?
In practice, the smartphone lasted for two days of moderate use without recharging. In my opinion, this is a good result, especially now that the smartphone can be discharged within a few hours, just because of the social audit. networks.
CAMERA
The main camera of the phone Jolla C review has received permission Jolla C 8 megapixel autofocus and LED flash, and a front – 2 megapixels. Let’s take a look at the pictures of.
The photo is blurry, faded, fuzzy, but after all, it is the weak units, then we can not expect great results.
Separately it is necessary to talk about the camera interface: swipe downwards opens the settings here for the ISO us, video, flash modes, timer, switching between cameras, etc.
The interface is very simple and intuitive, but change all the settings you will not help. Sorry to make screenshots of the camera interface is not possible due to the instantaneous reaction to pressing the “Volume +” and “Volume -“.

In general, with such quality camera looks here like a useless vestige, but also for the testing of it is impossible to refuse the application.
TO SUMMARIZE
The phone Jolla C review is definitely one of the most exciting smartphones, gadgets offered on the market, thanks to its OS. Good design, a completely new operating system with an innovative management approach – it surprises and attracts. But the price is too high, and all the surprise out a week after the start of use.
On the market a lot of options and cheaper smartphones with the best performance, and hope for the mere curiosity of people rather risky. Another thing is that a smartphone is not so easy to get and it’s designed for developers and geeks rather than ordinary users.
