The new Solana phone
After the success of the Solana Saga phone, Solana Mobile plans to announce its successor soon. At least if we can believe an anonymous source reporting this to CoinDesk.
The new phone doesn't have an official name yet. According to the anonymous source, it will offer similar features to its predecessor, including a built-in crypto wallet, custom Android software and a built-in “dApp Store” for crypto applications.
The big difference lies in the hardware and, above all, the price, if we are to believe the anonymous source.
The Solana Saga and the BONK airdrop
The original Saga phone was launched at a price of $1,000. However, the launch of the Saga phone was initially accompanied by mediocre sales. The phone has already been written off by the market.
That changed when crypto traders discovered that the phone came with 30 million Bonk tokens (BONK). Memecoin.
The value of the included tokens skyrocketed at the end of last year. BONK price rose to one from $0.00000018 on October 20th All-time high (ATH) from $0.00003415 on December 15th. This meant that BONK had risen by almost 19,000%.
Meanwhile, the price of the Saga phone was reduced to $600 due to poor sales. This meant that the 30 million BONK tokens were worth significantly more than the cost of the phone.
As a result, the device suddenly sold like hotcakes. The Solana Saga quickly sold out completely and after the sale, the phones were sometimes sold on the used market for up to $5,000 each.
The unexpected popularity of the device means Solana is looking to launch a new device sooner than expected. According to the anonymous source, it will also be cheaper than its predecessor. However, it is not stated how much cheaper it is.
The big question is whether the new device also has one Airdrop as BONK token. However, BONK's share price has already fallen 60% since the hype at the end of last year.
