Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 smartphone has seen remarkable success, with 100,000 pre-sales within just 30 days, surpassing its predecessor, the Solana Saga.
Despite the previous model’s skyrocketing value due to a BONK token airdrop, Chapter 2 offers a pre-order price of $450, significantly lower than Solana Saga’s $1,000 retail price.
The new phones, equipped with crypto-specific features, have already raised $45 million from pre-order sales. Customers can expect delivery in early 2025. Solana Mobile aims to compete with tech giants by focusing on Web3 capabilities rather than conventional features like cameras.
Solana’s co-founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, believes the popularity of their phones will attract developers to create games for the platform.
Additionally, the phone’s app marketplace will not charge developers any fees, promoting an open and accessible ecosystem.
Solana Mobile’s recent milestone underscores its promising future as the sole crypto-enabled phone manufacturer with a loyal customer base.
Despite facing uncertainty last year, the company experienced a turnaround when crypto traders realized that each phone purchase came with complimentary tokens. This discovery led to a surge in demand for the Saga model, resulting in a sellout success.
