Solana Mobile Chapter 2 Experiences High Demand with Over 25,000 Pre-Orders
Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 has seen an overwhelming response, surpassing its seven-day sales goal within just 24 hours of its announcement. Raj Gokal, co-founder of Solana, revealed that the total number of pre-orders has already exceeded 30,000, achieving the company’s sales target in just 30 hours.
“For developers, Solana Mobile is creating a massive opportunity for crypto app teams looking to incentivize their users. It gives them a concentrated distribution channel to die-hard, dedicated users. It allows them to do this without any prohibitive app store fees.”
– Raj Gokal
Key Features and Pricing
Similar to its predecessor, Solana Chapter 2 will be an Android-based smartphone equipped with a built-in crypto wallet and a “dApp store” for decentralized applications. Priced at an estimated $450, it is more affordable than the Saga, which was launched at $599.
Background and Future Plans
The initial release of Solana Saga in October 2022 received mixed reviews and faced uncertainty in terms of sales. However, the recent surge in popularity of the Solana-based BONK altcoin resulted in a quick sell-out of the smartphones as Saga owners could claim 30 million BONK tokens.
Gokal emphasized that the company has been working on the new phone for over a year, incorporating lessons learned from the past two years to provide greater flexibility for developers and users.
Hot Take: Solana Mobile Chapter 2 Receives Overwhelming Response from Crypto Enthusiasts
Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 has created a buzz in the crypto community, with over 25,000 pre-orders flooding in within the first 24 hours. The smartphone’s affordability and features, including a built-in crypto wallet and support for decentralized applications, have attracted developers and users alike.
The success of Solana Mobile Chapter 2 demonstrates the growing demand for crypto-focused smartphones that offer a seamless and secure experience. As Solana continues to innovate in the mobile space, it is likely to strengthen its position as a leading player in the crypto industry.
