So? The official doco said they have rough demos devices, nothing more, are they Jolla's or are they just something they're testing SF2.0 on? If the latter, then perhaps that's where the so-called official specs are coming from.

Here's the official press release from the Intex side:

At the top, they mention:
So, it sounds like it'll still be a while (maybe up to six months?) before any Intex Sailfish phones hit the shelves...

Sailfish based products can be expected by Oct-Nov-Dec quarter from Intex Technologies(India)

Straight from the horse's mouth folks, & not a single mention of specs, so we can take all the articles thus far as pure rubbish/speculation, not surprising really.

Official press release: https://jolla.com/wp-content/uploads...2015_FINAL.PDF
And blog post: https://blog.jolla.com/next-pipeline-sailfish-os-2-0/
Sailfish 2.0 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2TnTbShEwA
Slightly dubious about launch timeline given that 1.1.7 has quite a few issues and the still near blackout of footage.
Intex's device announcement appears to have been dropped. Though supposedly a device or devices will be available "by November" according to a message they retweeted. Why say yesterday that it'll be revealed and detailed and then neither Jolla nor Intex even mention it directly today ... amateur hour continues.

This article & others like it, are what sparked widespread assumptions that device details would be revealed tomorrow (today), I saw now official statement from them/Jolla like that.

Still, the whole thing was no doubt a massive tease, pretty big let down, but at least they FINALLY have a hw partner -kinda/maybe.

Jolla press release:
Jolla also introduced that Sailfish OS 2.0 is available on an optimised and scalable 4G LTE reference platform.
To enable quick time-to-market for licensing partners, Jolla has developed a range of optimised Sailfish OS hardware platforms from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 200/600/800 configurations, a highly scalable mobile processor family offering 4G LTE to everyone in all price ranges.

Maybe those two Demo devices resembling current Jolla phone, are examples of this reference platform? The actual Intex devices may, or may not, be based on the same internals.

We are demoing a reference device for Sailfish OS @ MWCS. Intex will announce products based on Sailfish OS licensing later this year!

Are they re-badged J1's or are they something else that they're testing SF2.0 on? If the latter, then perhaps that's where the so-called "official specs" are coming from.
