Future of Solana's Hyped Saga Phone Is 'Under Internal Discussion' as Sales Figures Fail to Wow

Summary

Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated during an appearance on the Unchained podcast that the future of Solana's Saga Phone is uncertain due to poor sales and market changes. He suggested the need for a decision on whether there is a potential market for a smart wallet, which could be used as a secondary cheaper device for iPhone users. According to Yakovenko, selling about 25,000 to 50,000 units would draw developers to create applications for the device. He also noted advancements in mobile interfaces have leveled the playing field between regular and specialized smartphones. However, he admitted not using the Solana Saga phone as his main device due to the numerous business-related apps on his iPhone.
