Solana Labs Launches Flagship Android-Based Crypto And Web 3.0 Smartphone; Solana Up 6%

The Solana smartphone is up for pre-order for 100 USDC in the US and its price is $1,000. Meanwhile, the crypto market seems to have put brakes to its downward journey and most cryptos are trading in green.

Solana (SOL)

Solana Labs (SOL) aims to bring blockchain technology to people by launching a crypto- and Web 3.0-centric smartphone called ‘SAGA’. Solana co-founder Raj Gokal explained that they chose the name SAGA because it means that the story of crypto is still being written.

This smartphone will support Google’s Android OS and is up for pre-orders in the US for a starting price of $1,000. It has top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which is based on TSMC’s 4nm manufacturing process, a 6.67 inch OLED display, 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage.

Solana Mobile Stack is a crypto layer built on Android to make the mobile web3 user experience seamless. https://t.co/jBhmTFGs1f
