Solana announces a new smartphone purpose-built for crypto, how will this shape SOL?

Solana SOL/USD is a layer-1 blockchain network that supports builders on a global scale that aim to create decentralized applications (dApps) that can scale.

SOL is the native cryptocurrency that provides a means of transferring value as well as blockchain security through the process of staking.

On June 23, 2022, we saw an official announcement on Twitter for the Solana Smartphone.

However, the CEO of Solana Labs, Anatoly Yakovenko, made a real-world announcement in New York for the launch of a software development kit for Web3 programs called “Solana Mobile Stack (SMS).”

Alongside this, Anatoly Yakovenko announced a new crypto phone called the “Saga.”

Solana’s new smartphone will cost $1,000 and will be available for purchase next year. 

The phone’s flagship specifications will put it on par with some of the largest brands in the industry.

Specifically, the phone will feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, as well as a 6.67? OLED display, 12 GB of ram, and 512 GB of total storage. 

However, another main reason why the smartphone stands out is due to the fact that it will feature its own Web3 decentralized app store (dApps), alongside a mobile wallet called “Solana Pay,” which is specifically created to facilitate transactions through QR codes.

It will also feature a “seed vault” that can securely store the phone’s private keys. 

Solana Labs also began accepting $100 deposits from anyone that’s interested in the pre-sale. Those that are will get an NFT pass through an email when the time comes. 

On June 24, 2022, Solana (SOL) had a value of $38.58.

When we go over the all-time high of the cryptocurrency, Solana (SOL) on November 6, 2021, reached a value of $259.96.

However, when we look at the performance of the token throughout the previous month, Solana (SOL) experienced its highest point of value on May 5 at $94.3. Its lowest point was on May 12 at $41.04. 

Here, we can see a decrease of $53.26 or 56%. 

With this in mind, SOL is a solid buy as it can reach $70 by the end of July 2022.

Solana Cuts Saga Price By 40%, But Case For New SOL Yearly High Increases

Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, announced a significant 40% price reduction for its Saga smartphone, slashing the price from its initial $1,000 to a more affordable $599. This move comes just four months after the phone’s launch, sparking a flurry of reactions from the crypto community. The official statement from the company suggests that the price cut is a strategic move to foster wider adoption of mobile web3 and to enhance the user experience for the Solana mobile community. However, on-chain data paints a slightly different picture. According to data compiled by Flipside Crypto, sales of the Solana Saga have seen a sharp decline since their peak in April and May. This is evidenced by the number of Saga Genesis NFT mints, which are generated when a user sets up their Solana Saga smartphone and accesses the Solana app store. The chart below shows a clear downward trend of sales. Since June sales volume has been extremely flat after a successful May 2023. The price reduction has elicited mixed reactions on Twitter / X. While some early adopters expressed their frustration at purchasing the device at its original price, others defended the move, pointing out the benefits of being an early bird. Notably, early owners had the exclusive opportunity to mint Claynosaurz NFTs, which currently have a floor price of around 33 SOL on Magic Eden, translating to over $800. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Leads Gains Among Top Coins, Is $30 Milestone Possible? Solana (SOL) Price Analysis On the flip side, the Solana (SOL) token is in bullish territory. At the time of writing, SOL was trading at $24.38. A look at the daily chart shows that SOL was able to confirm the breakout from its downtrend channel on Monday after the price found support at both the channel’s trend line and the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). As a result of this bullish confirmation, SOL broke above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $23.94. For now, it looks like SOL can defend the level and make a new run towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $27.42. Related Reading: Solana Beats Out Ethereum To Emerge As Best Performer In Terms Of TVL Remarkably, on July 14, SOL reached its year-to-date peak of $32.36 and recoiled from the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Subsequently, SOL dipped below the 61.8% Fibonacci level and couldn’t sustain a daily close above it. Given this context, the $27.42 price point emerges as the most pivotal resistance currently. Should a breakout occur, a clear path to the year’s high would be established. In this case, a bullish breakout seems imminent. However, strong profit taking can be expected around $32.36. If the yearly high falls, though, the bulls could target the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level at $56.86.
