Volla Phone Quintus

@sven
Can you summarise in english?

@GT
I don't think this is Gigaset because they don't have any smartphone like this one on their shop.

I searched the web, perhaps badly, but I did not find the model of the smartphone used for the Quintus.

@Keneda For the Volla Phone Quintus, we have shortened the supply chain in line with our long-term strategy. The device is manufactured by a company that does not produce smartphones under its own brand. The Volla Phine Quintu is a Volla Phone Quintus, manufactured for the Volla brand. There is no similar model in Europe.

There are also persistent rumours that we have sold smartphones from Gigaset. That is not correct. We commissioned Gigaset with the production of Volla phones. We took models from the starting point and modified them according to our specifications. Components were specially manufactured exclusively for Volla. The development of a smartphone is a long process and the product is very complex, more complex than a PC.

Volla Systeme is a manufacturer of smartphones. We work with our partners with engineering and manufacturing resources on the specification and design of the hardware and develop the software with our own international team. There is a supply chain for both, starting with the chipset manufacturer, followed by the board designer and finally the manufacturer. We carry out the final production steps in Remscheid, where we have started to set up production capacities. We will expand this.

@messayisto Thanks a lot! I am currently using a Volla 22 with Ubuntu Touch and the Volla Quintus is now on my shopping list.

Volla Phone - android auto?

Any info it is working? Is it possible?

arubislander

@ljutica That question is best asked on the Volla forums. Android Auto is off topic here.
