Solana Rolls Out New Crypto-Friendly Mobile Phone ‘Saga’

It’s been just revealed the fact that the company that is behind Ethereum rival Solana said that the flagship phone Saga is now available and it will start shipping within a month. Check out the latest news below.

Accoridng to the latest reports, it seems that during the Saga Launch Event in San Francisco on Thursday, Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko says the tech firm will start rolling out the crypto-friendly smartphone. This is slated to happen to those who pre-ordered on April 20th and will debut the public sale on May 8th.

“Today is a really big day for us. We’ve done what no one has thought was possible. We built an entire mobile software stack and a flagship phone all optimized to bring crypto to the mobile era and now you get to experience what crypto should be like on a mobile device.”

Solana Labs built the Android-based Web 3.0-enabled smartphone with the aim of bringing more people into the cryptosphere.

Yakovenko made sure to say the fact that the device will allow people to store and manage their digital assets themselves.

“Since the founding of Bitcoin, since 2008, there’s been this dream to get a billion people to self-custody using crypto and the self-custody piece is really important because that’s really the foundation of crypto – not your keys, not your coins. You really actually have to have your private keys and it’s very challenging to do this and there’s a lot of skepticism for the entire space.”

A popular crypto analyst says there are three metrics that are looking bullish for Ethereum (ETH) competitor Solana (SOL) right now.

In a new YouTube video, the anonymous host of InvestAnswers said that Solana registered 446,000 daily active users in early April, a spike in activity that placed the project above all other smart contract platforms. Check out our previous article in order to learn more details.
