Solana (SOL) Makes Unexpected Early Announcement – May Upset Users

Solana (SOL) Makes Unexpected Early Announcement – May Upset Users

Solana Mobile has announced that it has discontinued software and security updates for its Saga smartphone, which launched just two years ago. This move marks the official end of the device's lifecycle. “Solana Mobile Saga has reached the end of its support lifecycle. Compatibility with new software or services cannot be guaranteed,” the company stated on its website.

Unveiled in May 2023, Saga aimed to bring the Web3 ecosystem closer to everyday users by integrating blockchain technology into the mobile world. The device was touted as an alternative to Apple and Google's restrictive app store policies.

The company is still working on its second-generation phone, the “Solana Seeker,” which was unveiled in August 2024. Saga is more remembered for its memecoin airdrops than its Web3 integration. Devices were shipped to users with pre-installed cryptocurrency wallets. In late 2023 and early 2024, several Solana-based memecoin developers airdropped tokens to these wallets, both for marketing and to reward users. Initially worth a few hundred dollars, these tokens reached values that far surpassed the phone's selling price during the memecoin craze of 2024. Although official support has ended, unopened Saga devices are still fetching high prices online, in some cases up to three times their retail value. *This is not investment advice.
