Details, my friend, details!
i believe i gave some details:
4.5" screen at 960x540 (vs 5.2" screen at 2560x1440)
dual-core CPU with low IPC with a cut down GPU (vs 4+4 CPU with high IPC and a console class GPU)
1GB of low bandwidth DDR2 (vs 4GB of LPDDR4 on a 128bit bus)

i could also add:
LTE basic (vs Cat6 LTE with global coverage - hello america)
flexi plastic chassis (vs waterproof metal chassis with curved glass)
32GB low grade EMMC flash storage (vs 32GB+ of eMMC 5.0)
8Mpix blurry-focus camera (vs 20Mpix enormo-sensor camera)

look, i'm not ragging on the Jolla phone, i firmly subscribe to the anandtech mantra: there's no such thing as a bad product, merely a bad price.

the Redmi 2 with 2GB/16GB / Snapdragon 410 / 4.7" 1280x720 @ circa £130 makes a mockery of jolla at £200.
the Ubuntu phone @ circa £140 makes a mockery of jolla at £200
the motoG v2.0 with 5.0" 1280x720 / low-IPC quad-core / 16GB / LTE @ circa £150 makes a mockery of jolla at £200

you. cannot. sell. that. hardware. for. £200. anymore!
