Sailfish 3 coming to Sony Xperia XA2 devices

Sailfish 3 will be released for the Sony Xperia XA2 smartphones, which run Android by default. Sailfish creator Jolla has announced this. Sailfish is an alternative operating system for smartphones. Sailfish 3 is out this week.

All three variants of the XA2, XA2 Plus and XA2 Ultra will receive support for Sailfish, says Jolla. That will happen from next week. The announcement comes along with the release of Sailfish 3.0.0. The new version includes a new Top Menu with toggles and shortcuts that are always accessible. In addition, there are new light Ambience themes.

In addition, users will be given the option to take photos without unlocking the phone. The keyboard also gets support for gesture control, making it possible to switch languages ​​by swiping. In addition, Sailfish will support USB-on-the-go for connecting hardware.

Jolla claims that Sailfish 3 is fifty percent faster than its predecessor, but does not specify how that is. For a few years now, the company only supplies the operating system, but no longer makes hardware. Sailfish runs on various Sony Xperias and on the Planet Gemini, a PDA that was released earlier this year.
