Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 Smartphone Sets Preorder Record
Solana Mobile’s latest smartphone, Chapter 2, has achieved remarkable success in preorders, surpassing the sales of its predecessor, Saga, within just 30 hours of its announcement. In the initial 24 hours, the company reported 25,000 preorders, and by the 30-hour mark, that number had risen to 30,000.
Affordable Pricing and Advanced Features
Raj Gokal, President and co-founder of Solana Labs, expressed his excitement about Chapter 2’s success and its potential impact on the crypto app ecosystem. Initially priced at $1,000 but later reduced to $450 due to struggling sales, Chapter 2 offers more affordability. The smartphone is set to hit the market in the first half of 2025.
Solana’s Chapter 2 Triumphs Over Saga’s Slow Start
Chapter 2’s success represents a significant turnaround for Solana Mobile after facing challenges with its first smartphone, Saga. Despite projecting sales of 25,000 to 50,000 units, Saga only sold 2,500 units and received criticism as a “failure of 2023.” However, when the memecoin BONK announced it would distribute free tokens to Saga owners, the number of active Saga devices increased to over 15,000. This transformed the perception of Saga from a flop to a success.
Hot Take: Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 Breaks Preorder Records
Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 smartphone has surpassed expectations with its record-breaking number of preorders. Within just 30 hours of its announcement, Chapter 2 received an impressive total of 30,000 preorders, surpassing the entire first-year sales of its predecessor, Saga. With its affordable pricing and advanced features, Chapter 2 is set to make a significant impact on the crypto app ecosystem. This success marks a turnaround for Solana Mobile after the challenges faced with Saga’s slow start. The eagerly awaited Chapter 2 is expected to hit the market in the first half of 2025.
