Analysts and developers explain this by its functionality (orientation of the device to Web3, blockchain including built-in crypto wallet and many other trading features). Additionally, the developers of Solana Mobile 2, also known as Saga Chapter 2, have set the starting price at $450. For comparison, the seller sold the first model for $599.
The second model also runs on Android, has crypto-encrypted storage and a decentralized application store (dApps) for the blockchain.
Deliveries of second-generation crypto smartphones are expected to begin in the first half of 2025.
