Specifications

The Jolla specs have been officially announced which are:

The device runs on Snapdragon chipset with dual-core 1.4GHz processor and 1GB RAM.The 4.5" qHD (960 x 540 pixels) screen will be of the IPS LCD variety and will feature 6-point multi-touch and Gorilla Glass 2 protection. There will be an RGB LED indicator too. The 8MP back camera with autofocus, LED flash and 2MP front-facing camera have two mics for sound recording and noise reduction.There is 16GB of built-in storage, and can be expanded further via the microSD card slot.

Coming to the connectivity side, there's Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 + HS, A-GPS with GLONASS, NFC and I2C for connectivity with extensions, which sounds pretty interesting. The only extension that Jolla has shown so far is the exchangeable back cover, but with I2C there are plenty of options to expand (e.g. a keyboard wouldn’t need to connect over Bluetooth).

And the 2,100mAh battery is rated at 7.7/5.5 hours of 2G/3G talk time respectively and 500 hours of standby. The dimensions of the Jolla phone are 131 x 68 x 9.9mm and the weight is 141g.
