Solana Mobile to Launch Budget Crypto Smartphone After Saga Success
- Solana Mobile plans to launch a second, cheaper crypto smartphone building on the unexpected success of its first phone, the Saga
- The new phone will have similar features to the Saga - crypto wallet, custom software, dApp store - but different hardware
- The original Saga phone struggled with sales when launched at $1,000, but is now selling for over $3,000 on eBay due to scarce supply and tokens/NFTs airdropped to owners
- Strong secondary market and airdrops have bolstered the Saga community and prompted more Solana developers to build mobile apps
- Solana Mobile sees opportunity to expand crypto smartphone market beyond the 15,000 Sagas initially sold
