Sailfish - New Alternative of Android and iOS

Sailfish, a new mobile operating system is posing grave challenge to the monopoly of Android and iOS.

The OS developed by a group of engineers from Nokia have introduced their platform into the new Jolla phones.

Sailfish is primarily a gesture based mobile platform based on the Nokia’s Meego, a Linux-based free mobile operating system project, which didn’t take off.

Instead, it’s being created on the top of Sailfish OS, which was developed by a Hong Kong-based start-up Jolla — a company formed by former Nokia employees.

Sailfish OS is based on open source Linux kernel and features Jolla’s open source Mer Core UI and other third party components.

Unlike the Nokia Lumia series phones the Smartphone is capable of changing the color scheme, wallpaper and fonts according to the back cover changes.
