The Solana Mobile Preorder Boom
Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 device has garnered significant interest, with over 60,000 pre-orders already placed. Within 48 hours of the announcement, 30,000 units were paid for, marking a milestone for the company’s goal of global accessibility to Web3.0 solutions. The pre-order opportunity is still available to the public at a price of $450.
The Chapter 2 phone is an advanced version of the Solana Saga phone, featuring similar specifications such as Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1, 12GB of RAM, and a 6.67″ OLED display. Additionally, it will include an integrated crypto wallet, customized Android software, and a “DApp store” for crypto applications. Customers who pre-ordered the previous Solana Saga phone received a $100 refund.
Solana Chapter 2 Incentivization Scheme
The growing number of pre-orders for the Solana Mobile Chapter 2 phone may be attributed to its incentivization scheme. Buyers will receive non-transferable tokens, including Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), as incentives. The previous Solana Saga phone had a similar program that offered BONK meme coins to customers.
While many customers are anticipating another BONK giveaway with the new phone, it remains uncertain if Solana will adopt this meme coin in its marketing strategy again.
Hot Take: Positive Impact on SOL Price Expected
The Solana (SOL) coin has been trading sideways recently at $95.59 with a slight decline of 1.66% in the last 24 hours. However, the traction gained by Solana Chapter 2 from netizens is likely to have a positive impact on the coin’s price in the coming days. It’s important to note that the official launch date of the phone is set for 2025.
