The ethOS phone pre-orders sell out in 24 hours with the public sale set for this fall.

These are images from EthOS's original website that neatly summarize what the hype is about:

Ethereum users all over the globe have bought this device - their presale had just begun and sold out almost immediately.

On the contrary, Solana had done the same thing and released their own device - they were recently forced to slash the price in order to make the phone more enticing to users. It really comes to show just how 2 compelely different projects have completely different user bases. This is likely due to how solana is only worth 10 billion dollars, with ethereum being worth well over 200 billion dollars, which should represent 20x the userbase of Solana - which makes sense as to how they've sold out and really enticed their userbase. All ethereum needs is 1000 curious individuals to buy the device, while solana needs just the same amount of users to buy the device, but with a userbase that is 20x smaller and likely less serious about crypto. 

This is the solana phone.

It looks a bit similar to the latest iphone if you ask me, with slight modifications to avoid an IP infringement...

To be fair though, EthOS looks a bit like the latest samsung smartphone too. 

I suppose the smartphone industry is all about copying each another and reaching as many users as they possibly can - via designs that are already implemented and well known in the industry.

Who knows if these sorts of smartphones will be the future? A presale sell out is pretty damn rare for a smartphone, it's the same thing as iphones running out in a store right after its launch. So rare that it just doesn't happen - but in this case, it has. 

That's all for today, here are a few memes to lighten up your day.
