Yotaphone says bye-bye to Android, switches to Sailfish

Update: there’s a denial, which in turn is also being questioned. Conclusion: nope, not happening.

Russian manufacturer Yota, well known for its Yotaphone dual screen phones, has announced that its next devices will no longer operate using Android but Sailfish, an alternative developed by former Nokia engineers at Jolla.

Interesting, if not a bit of an odd decision. One has to wonder what prompted this decision, because even though I like Sailfish for what it represents, it’s far from a true alternative to Android or iOS. Maybe Yota knows something about Sailfish 2.0 we don’t?

I’m intrigued.
