Solana introduces a web3 smartphone
Saga – the web3 phone from Solana - is supposed to act as a hardware crypto wallet and a full Node in the network. The phone is a modified OSOM with specialty crypto wallet functions and Solana Mobile Stack – the company’s Web3 development kit. The device will feature integrated Solana Pay to facilitate QR code-based payment and a mobile wallet adapter.

It is currently unclear if this phone is going to have all the integration required to be both a full node and a participant in the Solana network.

Obviously, to gain any sort of traction on the market the device should also be at least on-pair with other smartphones in the competition. A simple fact of supporting Web3 services just won’t cut it and won’t let the Saga out of a narrow, niche market of the most daring crypto-enthusiasts. We’ve seen blockchain phones before, famously in 2018 from Sirin labs. And it has not worked out too well.

The smartphone is still a great opportunity to bring the blockchain to an even broader audience and facilitate interaction for onboard users as well. And the dream of the Web3 phone is definitely alive – at least 1300 people have already preordered a $1000 novelty from Solana even before its official launch.
