Layer 1 blockchain Solana’s mobile division, Solana Mobile, announced on Wednesday (17th) the opening of pre-orders for its second-generation Saga smartphone. In order to “make Web3 technology more affordable and accessible globally,” the company has set the initial pre-order deposit for the “Founder Window” at $450, less than half of the original selling price ($1,000) of the previous generation phone.
According to the description on Solana Mobile’s pre-order website, the pre-order deposit is intended to cover the full price of the second-generation Saga phone (excluding taxes, shipping, and fees), and it is emphasized that if for some reason (such as insufficient pre-order quantity) the product cannot be delivered, the official will issue a refund.
The new phone is currently scheduled to be shipped in the first half of 2025, and Taiwan has been included in the list of countries eligible for pre-order.
To further incentivize early users, Solana Mobile has launched a referral system for the sales of the second-generation Saga phone. By connecting their cryptocurrency wallet and X platform account, users can join the “Chapter 2” leaderboard. When others pre-order the new phone through their referral link, the referrer will have the opportunity to receive rewards and gifts from the ecosystem team and improve their ranking on the leaderboard.
According to previous reports by Zombit, the sales of Solana’s first-generation Saga phone were not ideal. However, due to the skyrocketing of the meme coin $BONK on the Solana chain, the market demand for this phone surged (as purchasing the phone would result in token airdrops), and within a week, the official inventory was sold out.
