Solana Mobile, the company developing blockchain-based smartphones, achieved resounding success with the pre-sale of its latest edition of mobile phones. After the depletion of stock for its previous model, the Solana Saga, the new version reached 30,000 pre-orders in just 48 hours, reflecting clear enthusiasm from users and achieving a significant advancement in Solana’s mission to disseminate Web 3.0 solutions globally.
This new phone shares some key features with its predecessor, such as the powerful ‘Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1’ processor, 12GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and a 6.67″ OLED screen. However, what stands out in this edition is its greater affordability and improved hardware, aiming to reach a broader audience.

In addition to advanced technical features, the new phone includes a crypto wallet, specialized Android software, and a “decentralized app store (dApp)” specifically designed for cryptocurrency-related applications. These elements consolidate SOL position in the blockchain technology space and underscore its commitment to integrating crypto functionalities into users’ daily lives.
Solana Mobile Responds to Criticism With a More Powerful and Accessible Product
It is important to note that this pre-sale success comes after criticism from the renowned tech reviewer Marques Brownlee regarding the previous model, the Solana Saga. In response to these critiques, the company decided to launch the Solana Mobile 2.0, an enhanced version aimed at refining its products and making changes to the SOL ecosystem. This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation to market demands.
Although there is no official confirmation regarding a BONK token airdrop in conjunction with the launch of the new phone, the SOL community shows palpable enthusiasm and an expectation of possible incentives and additional features. The company seeks not only to offer high-quality devices but also to build a dedicated community around its brand and the possibilities that blockchain technology can offer in the realm of mobile devices.
The successful pre-sale of Solana’s latest edition of mobile phones not only demonstrates positive consumer acceptance but also reflects the company’s ability to innovate and adapt in a highly dynamic market. The combination of advanced features, increased affordability, and a commitment to continuous improvement positions Solana Mobile as a prominent player in the intersection of blockchain technology and mobile devices.
