This particular device is the very first phone to showcase the Finnish company's licensing aims, and is a trusty and reliable addition to the already existing Aqua line of mobile handsets. This [Jolla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolla-phone) smartphone's features are decidedly mid-range, which explains the device's affordable price. The Aqua Fish comes fully equipped with a [Qualcomm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-aquos-wish) silicon 1.3 GHz RAM setup offering 2 GB, a 5-inch 720p HD display and a more than handy 16 GB of storage, which can easily be expanded if the customer so desires. Ultimately, the new Jolla smartphone will appeal to people in the mid-range smartphone market who want something that functions well but don't want to pay top dollar. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Affordable Mid-range Smartphones:** The trend towards mid-range smartphones with functional features and affordable prices is growing, creating an opportunity for companies to offer similar products. - **Licensing for Mobile Devices:** The licensing of operating systems and software for mobile devices is becoming more prevalent, allowing companies to expand their reach and offer unique options for consumers. - **Expansion of Aqua Line:** The expansion of the Aqua line of mobile handsets presents an opportunity for Jolla to continue offering affordable and reliable smartphones with updated features. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile Phone Manufacturing:** The mobile phone manufacturing industry has an opportunity to focus on creating affordable mid-range smartphones with functional features to appeal to a wider range of consumers. - **Software Licensing:** As licensing for mobile device operating systems and software becomes more prevalent, the software licensing industry can expand their reach and offer unique options for companies like Jolla. - **Digital Storage:** With the need for expandable storage options in smartphones, the digital storage industry has an opportunity to innovate and provide faster, more efficient storage solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Entry-Level HD Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-aquos-wish.md) - [Debut Finnish Mobile Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmd-pulse.md) - [Innovative Compact Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-smartphone.md) - [Open-Source Flagship Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opensource-flagship-smartphone.md) - [Refined Minimalist Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-aquos-r9.md) - [Ultra-Affordable Android Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmd-key.md) - [Low-Cost Android-Powered Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-c12.md) - [Affordable Sleek Android Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-phone-3a.md) - [Retro Repairable Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmd-skyline.md)
