Seems like a bit of a disingenuous example. Jolla can't underspec and inflate the price of their products in an Apple-like way.

Besides, that 1.4Ghz dual core is ARMv8 and MASSIVELY more powerful than the one in the Jolla, and more than adequate for an OS which essentially lacks multitasking. Same goes for the RAM, which is at least LP DDR3 rather than ancient DDR2-800 in the Jolla. The 4.7" screen, whilst certainly not as good as some of its competitors is nevertheless a good quality Sharp/JDI 720 panel ... the one in the Jolla is a hopelessly cheap bottom of the range Taiwanese one. They do both share cheaper Chinese batteries, at least.

To state the obvious, Jolla can't rely on a gigantic cult like following (with almost no price sensitivity) built up over the course of 3 decades, and an incredibly tame press to overlook any deficiencies in hardware relative to the competition.

Anyway, the point is that you don't have to look at a spec sheet to realise the Jolla is low specced and poor quality. It looks cheap, feels cheap, the screen is very obviously low resolution and is the worst I've seen on any remotely expensive smartphone in terms of daylight/outdoor visibility in the last 3 or 4 years. The camera produces poor photos in ideal conditions and is practically useless in challenging or low light. The phone begins to slow down very noticeably when a few apps are open and media takes a while to load / buffer. Fit of the battery is poor and TOH provides no environmental seal at all.
