Well, we\u2019ll remember certain of its products fondly, at any rate, if not the corporate leadership that drove them under. About that, perhaps the less said the better. That\u2019s why we\u2019re looking at the revived Commodore\u2019s latest offering with equal parts interest and trepidation \u2014 is there really a market for a Linux-based, Commodore branded flip phone in 2026 and beyond?<\/p>\n<p>The official reveal trailer, which you can watch below, can only be described as weaponized nostalgia for the late 90s, which tracks because the revived C-64 is more-or-less the same thing for the 8-bit era. That said, between replaceable batteries, actually having a decent camera\u00a0 \u2014 a 48MP Sony module \u2014 quality Cirrus Logic DAC for audio, and running the Linux-based, Android-app-compatible Sailfish OS, the \u201cCallback 8020\u201d ticks all the boxes. Except for price, that is. Many will find the $499 USD launch price a little tough to swallow in this economy, so we hope they aren\u2019t betting the farm on this one being a mass hit.<\/p>\n<p>This schematic diagram has all the specs the promo video left out.<br \/>\nImage: Commodore. <\/p>\n<p>&#8221; data-large-file=&#8221;https:\/\/hackaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CommodoreCallbackSpecs.jpg?w=800&#8243; class=&#8221;alignright wp-image-1118145 size-medium&#8221; alt=&#8221;&#8221; width=&#8221;400&#8243; height=&#8221;223&#8243; srcset=&#8221;https:\/\/hackaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CommodoreCallbackSpecs.jpg 2752w, https:\/\/hackaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CommodoreCallbackSpecs.jpg?resize=250,140 250w, https:\/\/hackaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CommodoreCallbackSpecs.jpg?resize=400,223 400w, https:\/\/hackaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CommodoreCallbackSpecs.jpg?resize=800,447 800w, https:\/\/hackaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CommodoreCallbackSpecs.jpg?resize=1536,857 1536w, https:\/\/hackaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CommodoreCallbackSpecs.jpg?resize=2048,1143 2048w&#8221;&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hackaday.com\/tag\/commodore-8020\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commodore 8020 | Hackaday https:\/\/hackaday.com\/tag\/commodore-8020\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-18 07:03:00 Source Domain: hackaday.com Whatever happens with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":275393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s0.wp.com\/_si\/?t=eyJpbWciOiJodHRwczpcL1wvaGFja2FkYXkuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIwXC8wN1wvaGFja2FkYXktbG9nby13aXRoLXRleHQtb3BlbmdyYXBoLWRlZmF1bHQtaW1hZ2UuanBnIiwidHh0IjoiSGFja2FkYXkiLCJ0ZW1wbGF0ZSI6ImhpZ2h3YXkiLCJmb250IjoiIiwiYmxvZ19pZCI6MTU2NjcwMTc3fQ.kVPxWrsIQyGdD1cPoxYvzP1mD56qtpkNpW1nAFiZiIgMQ","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-275391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275391"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275391"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":275396,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275391\/revisions\/275396"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
