Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices

Well, I just updated to SailfishX 3.0 and I'm a bit disappointed:

- Linux kernel is the old 3.10.84, dating back to July 2015 (https://lwn.net/Articles/650753/) (yet Jolla patched it for the...

Same here. 5984x3392 is the actual 20.3 Mp resolution.

I guess not all Xperia X owners know yet.
