The creators of Saga had already planned to abandon the smartphone, but the situation changed in an instant. Crypto traders realized that the phone has BONK tokens, which more than cover the cost of the device. In addition, gadgets began to bring dividends to their owners, and various projects distributed profitable tokens and NFT for free. These giveaways strengthened the community around Saga and encouraged Solana developers to create mobile apps.

According to the developers, the new Solana phone will have the same basic functions as its predecessor – a built-in crypto wallet, Android software and a DApp store for crypto applications.

It is planned that Solana will reduce the price of Saga smartphones sold on the secondary market at an inflated price. By the way, at the time of publication of the article, the Saga device in its original packaging on eBay is estimated at $3.2K.
