Two new Sony Xperia devices will be supported: the dual-SIM X, and a "to-be-announced next generation device".
I'm probably going for the to-be-announced one. I hope it's a the highest end possible device so I'm covered for a few more years ..

This still looks pathetic,
but if anyone can get i2pd and/or some version of toxchat
working on Sailfish then it might be worth a look.

Edit: moreover, what's pathetic about a real Linux in your pocket that doesn't have attack vectors purposely left open? Especially one that's officially supported on a nice device, with obvious work going into it? It isn't mainstream, and issues are constantly being ironed out. If you don't like it, don't use it, but don't call the work and result pathetic as it only serves to make you look bitter and ill-informed. Use Android if it suits you, but don't expect any real privacy or security, even with your i2p and tox implementations.

or some other Tox communication.

Which is precisely why I ask here - I loathe the idea of using Android.
But buying into Sailfish if it cannot run tox + i2pd is a deal breaker.
After paying into Ubuntu's failure and a couple of other fails
I have learned the hard way to ask hard questions
before wasting huge amounts of time chasing promises.

Tizen and Ubuntu Touch were trash out of the gate. If there's a better example than Sailfish on the Xperia X, especially in the realm of officially supported reasonably modern hardware running a reasonably modern Linux kernel, I'd be all ears.

"As we’re working already on two other new devices (the dual SIM and the to-be-announced)"
I wonder if this means the device has not yet been announced by Sony (new device)? Or does it mean the device to be supported is already released by Sony but support is not yet officially announced by Jolla?

But I am just happy to see that they will officially support dual-sim and compact versions of the phone
