(Sanders, 2018) did a review of the next version of Sailfish, version 3, which was announced a Mobile World Congress and has an interpreter using Alien Dalvik, which allows it to run Android apps. To me, this would actually be a weak security point, there has been many example of where an interpreter has failed and (Tung, 2018) identified five vulnerabilities in software interpreters.

In general, would anyone consider using an O/S like Sailfish?

Why should Sailfish 3 should be used in mobiles

The reputation of Jolla may not be up to the mark and may not be successful enough to capture or acquire the market with its open source android Sailfish OS, but there are lot of modifications in the new version of sailfish 3 and it can be implemented on all 4G enabled mobile phones. Due its lots of security loopholes it failed to acquire the market and hence very less number of devices used the previous version of sailfish. Sailfish 3 also have vulnerabilities in software interpreters.

But there are many features which can be added benefits of using sailfish 3:

So, Sailfish can be given a try and they will surely bounce back with additional features and also, they will come up with something to eliminate the vulnerability in software security as well.
