Support for Solana Saga Phone Ends After Two Years

Support Termination for Saga: Solana Mobile has ended software support for its first-generation Saga smartphone, leaving around 20,000 devices without future updates or security patches, contrasting with industry standards of longer support periods from major manufacturers.

Operational Status of Devices: Despite the termination of support, existing Saga devices remain operational, with all crypto features functioning normally, and wallets can be restored on other devices using standard seed protocols.

Shift to Second-Generation Device: Solana Mobile is now focusing on the Seeker, its second-generation device, which has received over 150,000 pre-orders and features upgraded hardware and a new tokenomics approach with the introduction of SKR, a native ecosystem token.

Market Response and Demand: The Saga initially launched with low interest but gained popularity due to valuable airdrops, transforming it from a commercial disappointment to a sought-after device, highlighting the potential for crypto-focused hardware in the market.
