Seeker review: Solana Mobile heard the critics
Main Idea
Solana Mobile addressed criticisms of its first phone, the Solana Saga, by improving its second device, the Seeker, which offers better performance and features while maintaining a focus on crypto integration.
Key Points
1. The Solana Saga faced criticism from tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee for its mediocre specs, high price, and niche appeal.
2. The Seeker, Solana Mobile's second phone, improves on the Saga's weaknesses with better battery life, display, and a lighter design.
3. The Seeker includes a built-in 'seed vault' for secure crypto storage and a native dApp Store with expanded offerings, though some apps may be non-functional.
4. Solana Mobile may pivot to onboarding more devices to its TEEPIN mobile architecture rather than releasing additional phones.
5. The Seeker is seen as a more serious and mature smartphone compared to its predecessor, with no major flaws reported.
