Solana to launch its WEB3 Mobile Phone

Saga will be an Android operating system phone presented by solana CEO Anatoly Yakovenko, which is intended to allow users to trade cryptocurrencies and NFT natively from its UI, making Web3

This cell phone is Solana’s bet to enter the smartphone and blockchain market as this mobile will have support for assets such as cryptocurrencies, NFT, and wallets. The mobile will have a value of USD $1,000.

The phone was unveiled at an event held in New York City, presented with the following specifications:

• A 6.6-inch OLED display
• One Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip
• 12GB of RAM
• 512 GB of storage
• Security of the private keys integrated into the device

This mobile is a big bet as nearly 7 billion people use smartphones worldwide and more than 100 million people have digital assets so Saga sets a new standard for the Web3 experience

The device is being developed by a sub-department of Solana Labs, known as Solana Mobile, which will provide developers with the necessary tools to create crypto applications intended for their equipment, with the intention that cell phones can interact in various ways with Solana’s Blockchain network

We have already seen other devices adopt some features referring to the crypto world like Samsung, which incorporated in its Galaxy S20 phone crypto features and protection systems for private keys. But this is definitely a big step to a purely crypto and blockchain focused device, as a novel feature is that it will include a technology called Solana Mobile Stacks (SMS) to provide encryption of the data on the device practically turning it into a crypto wallet.

Saga is available for pre-orders for a USD $100 deposit and Solana Mobile is expected to begin distributing the devices in early 2023.
