Commodore has officially introduced the retro-based Callback 8020, which runs on the Jolla Sailfish OS Linux version. The gadget is positioned as a digital detractor tool and the "golden middle" between a smartphone and a dial phone. At the OS level, browsers and social apps are locked but the device remains compatible with 99% of Android applications and supports LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

The hardware includes a MediaTek Helio G81 chipset, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in memory, a microSD slot (including a 32 GB card), as well as a 48-megapixel Sony camera. Special attention is paid to sound: ESS and Cirrus Logic audio chips are installed with support for HD-audio and lossless formats, and wired HQ IEM headphones are included. The phone received an external mini display with clock and charge indicator, 3.25-inch IPS screen inside (resolution 480 640 pixels), T9 keyboard and removable cover with access to Dual-SIM and a replaceable battery. Pre-orders start on June 30 at 10:00 CEST, and those who join the waiting list will receive a $50 discount. The starting price is $499.

Commodore chief Peri Fractik called the device a result of his personal journey to get rid of smartphone addiction.
