Exactly, I ran that already but is:

Qualcomm SDM630 Snapdragon 630 (Xperia XA2) better than Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650 (Xperia X)?

and Adreno 508 (Xperia XA2) better than the Adreno 510 (Xperia X) ?

It seems the 630 might be as good as the 650, but with much less power consumption and better LTE/Bt/Etc support and the 14mm construction which helps speeding things up whilst consuming less

Jolla had some profitable months last year and started issuing refunds to people who backed its tablet on Indiegogo. The company won't say how many are left, however. "It's not that many," Pienimäki claims. "Some of them are a bit noisy, but it's not really that many anymore."

Or the mere mention of a tablet... that did get my attention as well.

Jolla's pitch was simple: If you license Sailfish, you get full access to the source code. ... "That really sets us apart from everybody else," Pienimäki said. Sailfish OS, the company hoped, would become synonymous with security.

Since then, Jolla has inked deals in China -- a country that, like Russia, has a difficult relationship with Google -- and Latin America. In practice, it works a little something like this: Jolla will issue its source code to local partners who liaise with enterprise customers and provide the final hardware. Clients will request services, or features, that Jolla then solves with tools, or "enablers," in Sailfish OS. It could be a mobile device management framework, or an open VPN solution -- mundane features to the average consumer, but critical for secure business communications.

"A good example is security algorithms," Pienimäki said. "We don't do security algorithms for our clients, because typically they want to use their local partners to harden some communication systems. So something like that, in the platform, we'll only do enablers and tell them that, 'Okay here is an API and here you can put your local security algorithm.'"
