Solana Mobile to Launch Cheaper Successor to Saga Crypto Smartphone
Despite a drop in bonk token prices, Saga phones continue to yield dividends for owners with various projects airdropping lucrative tokens and NFTs.
- Solana Mobile is planning to launch a cheaper successor to the Saga crypto smartphone, with the same features but different hardware.
- The original Saga phone, priced at $1,000 on launch and later reduced to $599, sold out after a surge in demand due to an arbitrage opportunity presented by the 30 million bonk tokens that came with the phone.
- Despite a drop in the price of bonk tokens, Saga phones have reportedly been sold for as much as $5,000 on eBay, with bids still as high as $3,200.
- The Saga phones have continued to yield dividends for their owners, with various projects airdropping lucrative tokens and NFTs to the phones.
- The success of the Saga phone has prompted more Solana developers to look into building mobile applications.
