Solana recently unveiled its second-generation mobile phone, the Solana Seeker, during the Token2049 event. This new phone aims to address the shortcomings of its predecessor, the Solana Saga, which initially faced criticism for its high price tag. Despite the initial skepticism, the Saga gained popularity after the introduction of BONK rewards, leading to a surge in resale prices. Now, all eyes are on the Solana Seeker to see if it can replicate its sibling’s unexpected success.

The Solana Seeker has already garnered significant attention, with 140,000 pre-orders from 57 countries. Formerly known as the ‘Chapter Two’ project, the new phone has exceeded the demand for its predecessor by fivefold, securing $70 million in pre-orders. To further entice customers, Solana has offered a limited-time promotional price of $450 until Sept. 21 as part of its Founder Window launch strategy. The company claims that the Seeker represents a substantial upgrade over the Saga, particularly in areas such as Web3 accessibility, DeFi applications, and on-device security.
