Solana Labs, the team behind the Solana (SOL) network, on June 23 announced the launch of its own Android smartphone named Saga, as well as the Solana Mobile Stack software ecosystem for Android.
The Solana Mobile Stack (SMS) is an open-source software development kit (SDK) that helps developers to build native Android apps that will be compatible with the Solana blockchain network.
The toolkit will enable developers to “build beautiful, seamless web3 mobile experiences”, with the SDK debuting on the Saga smartphone by Solana.
The specs and release date
Saga is designed and manufactured by OSOM, an Android development company with experience building computing hardware for Google, Apple, and Intel, among others. The smartphone comes with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, 6.67” OLED display, 12GB RAM, and 512GB of storage.
Solana’s smartphone Saga is set to release in early 2023 and is expected to have a price tag of around $1,000. Solana Labs is currently taking $100 deposits and Solana developers get priority on the waiting list. Early bird customers will receive a limited edition NFT to celebrate the launch of the smartphone.
