Solana Mobile is at it again, launching its new smartphone, the Seeker, at Token2049 in Singapore.
Riding on the hype of its forerunner, the Saga, this device is set to lure crypto nerds and tech aficionados with its appealing specs and clever pricing.
Solana Mobile: Seeker’s Features
Solana Mobile is competing against industry behemoths Apple and Samsung.
With its mid-2025 launch on the horizon, the Seeker has amassed 140,000 pre-orders. By limiting sales to five units per household, they are addressing scalping and managing supply effectively.

With a 108-megapixel primary camera and a 32-megapixel secondary, the Seeker outclasses the Saga’s outdated specs. This leap in image quality is perfect for flawlessly scanning QR codes during crypto transactions. It also revives the Seed Vault, a secure custody feature tied to Solflare, ensuring a solid digital wallet experience.
Sporting a snug 6.36” AMOLED display, the Seeker shines brighter and is more pocket-friendly than the Saga. With thinner bezels and a beefed-up battery, it heeds user feedback. The processor’s a mystery for now, but Solana Mobile hints at a major performance boost over its predecessor.
Early birds can pick up the Seeker for $450. This aggressive pricing stands in stark contrast to the Saga’s hefty $1,000 debut, which saw cuts to spur sales.
Impact on the Crypto and Tech Markets
Solana Mobile is positioning this new phone as a “magnet for dapps, DeFi, games, and more,” emphasizing its appeal to developers and users seeking exclusive digital experiences. The Genesis NFT, acting as a VIP ticket for rewards, highlights its role in sparking community buzz and driving innovation.
With its launch, the device is set to ignite a lively community of tech enthusiasts and developers, each ready to push the limits of mobile innovation.
