Jolla Phone

Jolla originated in Finland, founded by former Nokia employees who sought to continue the development of the MeeGo operating system after Nokia transitioned to Windows Phone. This led to the creation of Sailfish OS, a privacy-focused mobile platform that supports Android applications. The original Jolla hardware was designed in Helsinki, blending Nordic minimalism with unique modularity through its 'Other Half' smart covers.

While the software development and corporate heart remain in Tampere and Helsinki, Finland, physical manufacturing of the devices typically occurs through electronics partners in China to manage scale and cost. The brand is now part of the Jolla Ltd family, which has evolved into a software-centric company that provides privacy-oriented OS solutions to governments and corporate entities worldwide while occasionally releasing hardware for its community of enthusiasts.
