Sailfish X to anyone who wishes to install it on his/her Sony Xperia X . The
image that you will be using to flash your smartphone will cost €49.90
(including VAT) and will be available effective October 11.

Regrettably, not all features will be officially supported
in the first software release, which means you can expect some issues with
Bluetooth, new sensors (barometer, step counter, etc.), fingerprint sensor, and
FM Radio.

An installation tool will be provided at some point to those
who purchase the Sailfish X, but in the beginning, a Linux PC will be necessary
to install the OS on the Sony Xperia X. Keep in mind that the Sailfish X
operating system will only work on unlocked Xperia X (single SIM) devices.
