This is a long video review of two prototypes received from Volla, one with default AOSP os (black one in video), the other with a porting of Sailfish OS (white one). The Volla phone is the name of a project for a simple, privacy focused, (and European) smartphone. Here is showed also the Volla experience, but the overall focus of video remains on the device, treated as if was already launched Sailfish OS device. Hardware The phone it's better than expectation, being a solid midrange 8-core smartphone with some nice "flagship feeling" in the hand: weight, display size and battery are at high levels. EU phone This is a Gigaset smartphone, assembled in Germany, and the Sailfish OS version ends up to be almost a full european smartphone. It's a working fully-EU phone, in early 2020! Rating it My overall feeling is that the Volla phone it's placed between an XA2 and an XA2 Plus, with an higher screen/body ratio. The rounded design is a novelty for Sailfish OS, and will need little tweak to fit better. See on Next steps... There will be later a second, main crowdfound campaign from Volla, maybe on a different platform, or self hosted. Stay tuned on their social channels.

In this video I go to a local mechanic and dyno center to have the CR-Z professionally installed and bench tested, before and after the RB1. I wanted to test the effect of the RB1 only without modifying the ECU (in Italy it is basically illegal). On the intake side, the CR-Z already has a sporty stainless steel filter and this may have slightly offset the "stock" test ... However the result was unexpected, at least compared to the popularity of the RB1 manifold with the CR-Z community. Watch the video to find out more. Good vision!
