Solana Mobile, a Solana Labs company, has announced the release of Saga, a premium Android phone for web3 fans. Saga is a high-end mobile device that includes the Solana Mobile Stack, a set of tools and features that allow users to engage with Solana dApps, trade tokens, mint NFTs, and play on-chain games.

Many of you will be hearing about the Solana smartphone startup for the first time. It’s a new smartphone brand founded by some of the former Essential employees. It was announced a few months ago that the company will release its first smartphone later this year. It was originally set to launch under the name “OSOM,” but the brand later changed their minds and confirmed a new name, Solana.

Solana Mobile teased the Saga release date on Twitter, saying “The wait is nearly over. Saga will be released soon.” The business also released a video highlighting the look and functionality of Saga, which features a 6.67-inch OLED display, 512 GB storage, 12 GB RAM, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, and an integrated security element.

Saga was initially unveiled in June 2022 at an event in New York, where Solana Mobile also announced the Solana Mobile Stack, an Android framework that allows developers to construct sophisticated mobile experiences for Solana wallets and apps, as well as a “Secure Element” for private key management.

The Solana dApp Shop, a curated collection of the top Solana dApps in one place, is another feature of Saga. Users may discover the most exciting projects in the Solana ecosystem, use their favourite dApps on the go, and gain access to exclusive mobile features from popular dApps such as Magic Eden, StepN, Jupiter, and others.

Saga, according to Solana Mobile, is “the next chapter” in the crypto tale and “sets a new standard for the web3 experience on mobile.” The company anticipates that bringing crypto to mobile would result in increased adoption, better comprehension, and more opportunity for both users and developers.
