Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.
  • The prospective release of the mobile Android device was not mentioned until June 2022.
  • Saga’s specs include a 6.6-inch screen, 512GB of storage, and private key security.

As promised last month, the highly awaited flagship Android phone from Solana mobile is finally accessible to the general market. At this time, it will be shipping to the US, Canada, EU, UK, Switzerland, AU, and NZ. An official announcement claims that the blockchain platform is now getting some praise for the phone’s novel functions.

The team stated:

“Saga is a phone and much more. You can enjoy a simplified web3 experience with Seed Vault, a secure self-custody solution that protects your keys through biometric authentication and encryption. With the Solana dApp Store, Saga users can access decentralized apps without having to interact and sign transactions through their desktop web browser.”

Feature Packed Device

The prospective release of the mobile Android device was not mentioned until June 2022, when the CEO of Solana Labs, Anatoly Yakovenko made the announcement. The Solana network is said to be integral to the phone’s unique features and functions.

Users were told that the phone could be used for web3 transactions, token trading, NFT minting, on-chain gaming, and accessing decentralized apps.  Now that the Saga has been released, users may get a Saga genesis token (NFT) during the setup process. Some of the decentralized applications (DApps) available via its curated app store will need this token.

Saga’s specs include a 6.6-inch screen, 512GB of storage, and private key security. The phone was rumored to be released in April, but it was already up for preorder on the company’s website. The SOL token’s value increased upon the announcement of its release.
