Solana Labs, the blockchain development company, has finally launched its Saga smartphone after a year of anticipation.
The new phone is designed to compete with other flagship products from competitors such as Apple, Google, and Samsung in the highly competitive smartphone sector.
Solana Mobile announced that Saga is the first crypto smartphone to be built on the Android operating system.
The Saga smartphone will be available for pre-order next May for a $1,000 price tag. Solana Mobile stated that they wanted to modernize how people interact with their digital assets for the sake of usability and increased security. To achieve this, the company designed a sleek and beautifully crafted flagship Android phone with premium components.
OSOM, a privacy-focused tech company, built Saga with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen mobile platform that provides users with the speed to conduct multiple tasks, along with an “integrated secure element” called OSOM’s Seed Vault.
In addition, Saga ships with a high-performance chip, 512GB storage, a 6.67″ OLED screen, and a 120HZ refresh rate. The battery can hold a 4,110 mAh charge, which should keep the phone running for hours.
OSOM stated that Saga comes with trusted vanilla Android 13 paired with unique features like their patented Seed Vault, which brings crypto self-custody to your pocket in a way no one has done before. The device allows you to sign transactions on-device with the ease and familiarity of biometric security.
Moreover, Solana’s dApp Store gives you access to all the blockchain-powered services you need, in addition to Google’s Play Store.
The announcement of the Saga smartphone has caused a positive reaction in the Solana (SOL) token price. As of this writing, the token has recorded a 3% profit in 24 hours and a 21% profit over the past 30 days. It is expected that the Saga smartphone will give Solana a competitive edge in the crypto and smartphone markets.
