The Review of Saga by MKBHD
YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) recently reviewed the Saga mobile device from Solana, giving it the title of “Worst New Phone of 2023.” According to MKBHD, buying the Saga phone is comparable to purchasing a Times share, as it may seem like a good idea initially but turns out to be a horrible decision.
MKBHD strongly advises against purchasing the phone at any price. Interestingly, eBay listed the device for as high as $5000, even though Solana originally priced it at $599.
The demand for the Saga phone surged after it was discovered that each phone came with 30 million Bonk (BONK) tokens. Investors believed that the memecoin might be more valuable than the phone in the long run.
Fixing Saga’s Flaws
MKBHD’s review suggests that there may be significant design flaws with the Saga phone. Solana designed it as a flagship crypto-first Android phone with impressive specifications. However, MKBHD’s findings indicate potential issues related to these specifications.
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko responded to the review and stated that they might consider fixing the problems highlighted by MKBHD. Addressing these concerns could potentially help the Saga phone outperform its competitors in the long term.
CertiK, a cybersecurity firm, previously expressed concerns about the security of the Saga mobile. Although Solana dismissed these claims, it may be worth revisiting those concerns and addressing any broader Solana outages to reassure customers who have purchased the phone.
Hot Take: The Future of Saga
The negative review from MKBHD raises questions about the viability of the Saga phone. Solana and its team may need to reevaluate their design and address the flaws mentioned in the review. Additionally, addressing security concerns and improving overall performance could help restore customer confidence in the device. Whether Solana can turn around the reputation of the Saga phone remains to be seen, but it is clear that changes are necessary to compete in the market.
