Join Our Journey of Innovation and Community

In 2020, we launched the first Volla Phone through a crowdfunding campaign, marking a huge success with over 1000% funding. Since then, we have expanded our portfolio to include four smartphone models – two elegant flagship devices and two rugged devices – and successfully completed a second crowdfunding campaign in 2022 with similar overwhelming support. We are proud to say that more than 11,000 Volla Phones have been shipped to users in over 55 countries worldwide.

Our company is rooted in Germany, where the operating system is meticulously crafted to ensure privacy and user-friendliness, embodying the precision and reliability Germany is known for. Our products’ foundation and continuous innovation are inspired by our founder Dr. Jörg Wurzer, who is deeply committed to privacy and open-source values.

The Volla community has grown significantly, encompassing over 10 community projects and providing a hardware platform for more than 50 community developers. We’ve celebrated this thriving ecosystem through three Volla Community Days, events that foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the shared passion for privacy-focused technology. We look forward to announcing the dates for the next Volla Community Days from 15 to 16 June, inviting all enthusiasts to join us in shaping the future of mobile computing.
