Sailfish OS milestones: Support for Android-compatible hardware and applications

Jolla Company officially announced that the company's self-developed Sailfish operating system will be formally developed to a landmark moment. The Finnish start-up, made up of former Nokia employees, says the Sailfish system is now fully compatible with Android hardware and applications, and currently includes Instagram, Popular Android apps, such as WhatsApp, have been successfully installed in the Sailfish system and run normally.

The Jolla company also said the Sailfish system is now running on the most common Android devices available on the market, including smartphones and tablet devices. And the Sailfish system is perfectly compatible with the Android device's multi core chipset and hardware configuration. In the future, if Android users are not going to use the Android system, they can use the existing device to "brush" the Sailfish system to experience a different feeling.

This is definitely a milestone for the development of the Sailfish system, because in the future if the hardware manufacturers are going to launch the Sailfish system, there is no need to focus on sailfish dedicated to developing new products. However, it remains to be seen whether manufacturers can choose to use the Sailfish system. After all, the Android system has been quite successful around the world, and whether manufacturers are willing to give Sailfish a new system is not very certain.

If you don't know the sailfish system, it doesn't matter, as a smartphone enthusiast, you must have heard of the previous Meego operating system. Sailfish's predecessor was the Meego operating system, which was developed jointly by Nokia and Intel, and Meego was discarded after Nokia adopted the WP platform, after which Nokia's 5 employees left the company to start Jolla's research Meego and renamed it Sailfish. Now Sailfish's support for the Android ecosystem will attract more users, and Jolla, a handset-maker, has already produced Android phones, so it is expected that the days of our smartphone with the native Sailfish system are far off.
