The new device will run on the popular Android operating system, providing users with a familiar and user-friendly interface. In addition, users will have access to a built-in cryptocurrency wallet and access to a decentralised app shop (#Dapps), which will enhance the overall functionality of the smartphone.
Compared to its predecessor, the Chapter 2 smartphone has a starting price of $450, offering users a more affordable option. The first Saga model was initially priced at $1,000, but the price was later reduced to $599.
As for the future price of the smartphone and its potential impact on #airdrops, it remains uncertain. Various communities have already speculated about possible discounts for owners of the device, but only time will tell the true outcome.
In this regard, it is worth noting that the price of the #Solana smartphone on #eBay has risen to $5,000, indicating the high demand and value of this sought-after device.
