Solana Mobile is reportedly gearing up to release a second crypto smartphone model to the market.
The new handset is expected to retain the hallmark features that defined its forerunner, the Saga — including an integrated crypto wallet, specialized Android software, and access to a dedicated “dApp store” for decentralized applications.

However, what sets this upcoming device apart is its more affordable price tag and revised hardware components, according to sources.
Originally priced at $1,000 at its launch last year, the Saga saw a price drop following an initially lackluster reception. Currently, Saga smartphones are fetching bids upwards of $3,200 on eBay.
The rise in Saga’s market performance can be tied to the distribution of SOL meme token $BONK that came with the phone.
These meme tokens effectively offset the cost of the smartphone, leading to a rapid sellout when this perk became known.
Earlier in December, Solana Saga smartphones, which initially struggled to attract buyers, reached up to $5,000 on eBay.

Since their market entry on May 8, each Solana Saga phone has come bundled with an enticing bonus for crypto fans — an airdrop of 30 million Bonk tokens.
At the time of writing, $BONK was trading at $0.00001389, down 3.83% in the last 24 hours.
