• Solana’s Seeker phone, which will launch in 2025, will have a better battery, camera, and crypto features for smoother transactions.
  • The Seeker phone introduces an improved dApp store, allowing users to find and use crypto apps without high fees easily.
  • Over 100,000 pre-orders highlight the demand for Seeker, boosting Solana’s mobile crypto push with new data-sharing capabilities.

During the Token 2049 conference in Singapore, Solana Mobile unveiled its second crypto smartphone, Seeker. Seeker will be released in 2025 and will considerably improve Saga. It has a more powerful battery and an improved camera and weighs less than the previous model.

These features will increase the phone’s performance and enhance users’ cryptocurrency transaction flow. Additionally, the launch has created hype among developers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts willing to work on the new features added by the update.

Enhanced Crypto Capabilities with Seed Vault Integration

When discussing Seeker’s features, it is worth noting that the application has a dedicated in-app crypto wallet and Seed Vault key storage to make it easier to work with cryptocurrencies. This integration enables users to manage digital assets more securely and efficiently than the Saga. The launch of Seeker by Solana was fueled by solid pre-order demand starting in early 2024, with over 100,000 units sold.

This success also paved the way for Solana Mobile to get more favourable supply chain deals, which was difficult during the first model’s release. Furthermore, Seeker will feature a better dApp store, enhancing the identification of all crypto apps and being cheaper for developers than regular app stores.

SOLANA PHONE 2 HAS DROPPED.

– looks a little cuter, better specs
– soul bound token
– AI agent integrations
– seed vault 2 via solflare
– boosted discoverability and options when launching with moonshot
– much cheaper airdrops via helio

Opportunities and Considerations for Users and Developers

While Seeker’s data sharing capabilities present new opportunities, they also come with considerations around privacy and security. Solana Mobile is confident that access to this data will enable new ways for users to earn rewards and interact with decentralized applications. 

This strategy aligns with Solana’s broader goal of advancing mobile crypto technology by offering innovative features that push the boundaries of traditional mobile devices. With Seeker’s release, Solana aims to deepen its influence in the market, making Blockchain technology more accessible to everyday users through advanced, crypto-friendly hardware.
