Alternative mobile operating systems are struggling to survive while Android and iOS dominate, but an operating system called Sailfish — on the brink of disappearing — is back after a short absence.

Intex Technologies’ Aqua Fish smartphone with Sailfish 2.0 started shipping in India on Monday. It’s the first Sailfish handset to be sold by a device maker outside of Jolla, the developer of the OS, whose Jolla C handset is available only to testers.

Aqua Fish is priced at ₹5,499 ($81), and has specifications comparable to an entry-level Android phone. It has a 5-inch, 720p display, 16GB of storage and a 1.3GHz  quad-core processor. It has a 8-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front camera.
