The Solana Saga smartphone, which was originally supposed to appear on the market under the name OSOM OV1, has finally reached buyers.
Now the novelty is available to those who once pre-ordered, leaving a deposit of $ 100. Everyone else can join the waiting list for a smartphone a little later. It is true that in order to buy a smartphone, you need to own cryptocurrency.
And this is not a strange desire of the creators. Let's remember, Solana Saga is not in vain bears that name. The smartphone is a joint creation of OSOM and the Solana blockchain platform, which is known for its namesake crypto token. Actually, the smartphone itself is mainly aimed at enthusiasts of the world of cryptocurrencies. The goal is the Solana Mobile Stack, a set of tools and features that allows users to interact with Solana dApps, exchange tokens, create NFTs, and play online games. All this, of course, can be turned off, but then the convenience of buying a smartphone for $ 1,000 will raise questions.
At least because it's technically the flagship device of the previous generation. There's a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, a Full HD+ AMOLED display, and a 50-megapixel main camera.
Let's remember that OSOM was founded by people from Essential Phone. The abbreviation OSOM stands for Out of Sight, Out of Mind, consonant with the word awesome ("great", "amazing").
