The Solana (SOL) network has recorded a sharp uptick in active users, clocking above 200 million in May. The hype over its Saga smartphone has significantly helped the Solana ecosystem attract more DeFi developers. Moreover, the Solana ecosystem takes pride in more than $263 million in total value locked (TVL). Additionally, the Saga smartphone that uses the Android operating system has an inbuilt vault to help users secure their digital assets safely.
As a result, the Solana network is well-positioned to revolutionize the development of decentralized applications (Dapps) through its hybrid consensus model, consisting of proof-of-history (PoH) and proof-of-stake (PoS).

Notably, the Solana Saga mobile early buyers are expected to get an NFT pass that is, however, non-transferable.
“Saga owners can claim a Saga Genesis token when setting up their device. This unique device-bound non-transferable NFT serves as your key to Saga Rewards, unlocking exclusive content and offers from Solana Mobile and dApps listed on the Solana dApp Store,” Solana noted in the announcement.
Key Saga Features
The Saga phone has been compared to the Tesla Roadster, which was unveiled as the concept electric car. As a result, the Solana team expects to launch more models in the near future with updated features and capabilities. Nevertheless, the new Saga mobile is packed with premium hardware destined to make Web3 navigation seamless.
For instance, Solana’s Saga mobile has a dual rear camera with 12 megapixels. On the front side, the Saga mobile has a 16 MP camera. Interestingly, the Saga mobile phone comes with wireless charging for its 4110 mAh battery. As a result, users can enjoy the 6.67-inch screen size that uses AMOLED technology and 120 Hz with minimal interruptions.
As for security, the Saga mobile phone has the latest Android 13 enhanced with a rear fingerprint sensor.
SOL Price Action
The Solana price is expected to gain more value as the underlying blockchain anticipates increased on-chain activity from the Saga mobile users. Currently, the SOL price is trading around $20, up more than 100 percent YTD, with an FDV of about $11 billion.
