For some reason, someone built a new Sailfish OS phone

For some reason, someone built a new Sailfish OS phone Even though Sailfish OS creator Jolla has had its fair share of challenges in the past two years (including a failed tablet and a near bankruptcy) it appears that its operating system lives on.
Russian phone maker Plural has released its new Oysters SF phone powered by Sailfish, thanks to a partnership with Jolla.

Here are the full specs:

5-inch 720p display
MediaTek MT6753 ARM Cortex-A53 octa-core processor
2GB of RAM
16GB of storage
13-megapixel rear camera
5-megapixel front-facing camera
microSD slot
3,000 mAh battery

Regardless, the smartphone world has been and will always be a two-horse race.

Absolute horsepuckey. Any definite predictions of the tech marketplace 10 years out are quite suspect, much less for all time.

I don't think it is meant to be a flagship killer.

Very true, in fact it hasn't always been a 2 horse race; there was a time when BlackBerry, iOS, Android, and even Windows were all legitimate contenders. Now Apple has been dropping the ball for years and Android is pulling away...it may be just one horse soon, and then suddenly there will be 3 or 4 new horses when google starts to drop balls.

Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm
In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum
We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
