Solana (SOL) announces new smartphone: The Solana Seeker

Solana (SOL) has announced that its second smartphone, the Solana Seeker, will be launched in mid-2025. The phone, which is priced at 500 USD, already seems to be a success: more than 145,000 pre-orders have been placed.

From the Saga to the Seeker

The launch of the Seeker is not entirely surprising. Solana’s first smartphone, the Solana Saga, was launched in April 2023. Although it had a rocky launch, the Saga developed into a successful product. Like its predecessor, the Seeker features the Solana dApp Store, which gives users access to various decentralized finance (DeFi) services, NFT marketplaces, blockchain games, and other Web3 features.

However, the Solana Seeker goes a step further. In addition to extensive Web3 features, the Seeker also offers impressive specifications, including:

108+32 MP camera
8 GB RAM
6.36-inch AMOLED display

The Seeker is lighter and easier to use than the Saga and includes a Seed Vault wallet for secure and fast transactions. In addition, buyers receive a Seeker Genesis Token, which offers exclusive benefits in the Solana ecosystem.

Innovative Web3 Products in 2025

The Seeker is just one part of Solana’s broader strategy to develop innovative Web3 products. The following products are also planned for launch in 2025:

The Pulse fitness bracelet , a blockchain-based wearable to track fitness data.
The Firedancer validator , an advanced tool for more efficient transaction processing on the Solana network.

Solana ETF and political influences

The year 2025 promises to be an important year for Solana. In addition to the launch of new products, there is a significant chance that a US spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) will be approved for Solana. Analysts at Polymarket estimate this chance at 77%, while asset manager VanEck is even more optimistic.

According to VanEck’s Matthew Sigel, a victory for Donald Trump in the US presidential election could be the deciding factor. Trump has already stated that he wants to make the US the “cryptocurrency capital” of the world, which could potentially speed up the approval of a Solana ETF.
