The Saga smartphone is built on an Android-based Web 3.0-enabled platform and is the first device where crypto is treated as a first-class citizen in mobile.
In addition to its crypto capabilities, the phone comes with 512 GB of storage, two back camera lenses, a 6.67-inch OLED display, and a fingerprint scanner. This means that the user experience of Web 3.0 is vastly improved with Saga.
Anatoly Yakovenko, the co-founder of Solana Labs, shared his enthusiasm for the latest product at the Saga Launch Event in San Francisco.

He revealed that they had developed a specialized mobile software stack and flagship phone, optimized to provide a seamless crypto experience on mobile devices.
The Saga smartphone is set to start shipping within the month, with those who pre-ordered receiving the first devices on April 20th. The public sale of the phone is scheduled to debut on May 8th.
The device costs $1000, and Yakovenko assures potential buyers that it is highly secure due to the hardware that allows some software to be run separately from the operating system.
