Following the revelation of Saga, Solana’s Android mobile device that will accompany the project’s most recent stack for Web3 developers, the Solana Mobile Stack, the Solana team has brought mobile phones to Web3.
The new project was met with a variety of responses, from comparing it to Apple and Ethereum to raising concerns about Solana’s network outages.
Vinny Lingham wrote about it and referred to it as Web3’s “iPhone moment,” thanking Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko for making it possible. David Ticzon was impressed with Solana, calling it the “Apple of Web3” in a tweet.
Users also compared Solana’s development to that of the Ethereum network. While Solana released a Web3 phone, Ethereum has yet to see significant progress in years, according to Thesolmane.
Twitter user Nathanweb3 explained how Solana is a growing threat to Ethereum. He said that the developers of SOL are able to understand the shortcomings of ETH when it comes to user experience. This is why Solana’s team is addressing the issues and making things simpler for everyday users.
Many appreciated Solana’s work, while others could not help but bring up the fact that its network had been down. Solana’s (SOL) price tumbled in early June, as the network suffered its fifth technical error in just one year. Twitter user Metamaxie asked why Solana is attempting to be a phone manufacturer when it should concentrate on making its blockchain trustworthy.
Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson has also criticized Solana’s newest initiative. According to Hoskinson, seven of one’s close friends must be found in Discord in order for the phone to reboot. This implies that the phone may have performance issues comparable to the Solana blockchain,
