After the Saga smartphone, Solana plans to launch the second smartphone using different hardware in its Web3 smartphone series.
Not so Unique Features
According to sources, Solana Mobile's new phone will have the same Web3 infrastructure as its predecessor, the Saga smartphone, including custom Android software, an onboard crypto wallet, and a decentralised crypto application store. It seems that Solana Mobile is not releasing any updated 2.0 versions; however, it is possible that it may add some more features later.
The Price is right
The starting price of the new smartphone has been kept below $1k , as initial sales of the Saga smartphone suffered a decline due to its high cost, which resulted in cost cutting, but later used Saga phones were sold at high price. Perhaps Solana Mobile will first test the performance, and might increase the price if phone sells like hot cakes.
Marketing to Milk
Saga smartphones gained unexpected success, but due to the company's weak marketing, the advantage was taken by second-hand sellers, who sold cheaply bought Saga phones at high prices. Solana Mobile has been preparing for its marketing since the beginning of January. Solana's airdrop and attractive NFT offers are also now going viral on social media.
