The telephone recently known as the Osom OV1, worked by a group comprising of previous specialists and fashioners from Essential, is being renamed and reused today, and it’s all for the sake of crypto. This midday in New York City, blockchain organization Solana declared its own cell phone, called the Saga, made as a team with Osom. It’s valued at $1,000, and preorders open today. A $100 store is required, and Solana says the Saga will transport in the primary quarter of 2023.
The telephone will have a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED show, 512GB of stockpiling, and 12GB of RAM. It’ll be controlled by Qualcomm’s most recent Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip and is equipped with a 50-megapixel essential camera, in addition to a 12-megapixel super wide shooter. In any case, more than the standard equipment specs that most device geeks are keen on, the Saga is intended to help crypto proceed with its journey to “go portable,” in the expressions of Solana CEO Anatoly Yakovenko.
This gadget is for individuals settled in the universe of crypto wallets, Web3, and NFTs, and it’ll accompany a special element: support for decentralized applications that depend on the Solana blockchain, which has momentarily matched Ethereum with regards to NFT deals volume. NFT commercial center Magic Eden, Solana wallet creator Phantom, and cryptocurrency trade Orca have endorsed on to back the Saga and Solana’s new programming endeavors.

Osom has affirmed to The Verge that the OV1 and Saga are currently very much the same, implying that this gadget is the organization’s essential concentration. “Osom is extraordinarily eager to cooperate with Solana in building the Saga,” organizer and CEO Jason Keats said. “The world necessities novel equipment organizations to help the future that is Web3.

That “past heritage biological systems” line is maybe regarding Solana’s different declarations today: the organization presented the Solana Mobile Stack, an open dApp (short for decentralized applications) Store that will run on the Android-based Saga. The organization is imagining a tremendous multiplication of crypto-local applications, computerized administrations, and computerized products that will be made conceivable through its new stack, which will be accessible to other Android gadget creators, as well.
“We didn’t see a solitary crypto declaration at Apple’s engineer meeting, 13 years after Bitcoin went live,” Yakovenko said during a Q&A meeting. “I believe really depend on us is going.”

Solana claims designers will get early admittance to the Saga. “We’re focusing on those no-nonsense individuals that comprehend what self guardianship implies,” Yakovenko said when asked how Solana’s versatile stack and new devices will offer a preferred encounter over computerized crypto and NFT wallets from Samsung and other huge tech organizations.
It’s truly a turn on the off chance that you were trusting Osom would simply deliver a somewhat ordinary, protection centered Android telephone — an Essential Phone 2, all in all. Furthermore, it likewise conflicts with everything that Osom said to Android Police back in March when the organization assessed the OV1 would be evaluated “well under $1,000.” The genuine test will be whether the Saga really delivers on track in mid 2023, as both Solana and Osom guarantee it will. Furthermore, in the event that there will be a feasible crowd for an item like this beyond the hall of energized Web3 devotees who cheered its presentation. Indeed, even experienced telephone creators like HTC have gone down this way and neglected to have any genuine effect.
