You thought it was a mobile phone, but it was actually a brand new excavator.

When it comes to web3-specific mobile phones, we have to mention the first soL's saga, solana's mobile, saga. No one expected that the unsold saga would be marketed through airdrops.

The official website selling price of the first generation machine, which was $600, was driven up to more than $2,000, and even once reached $5,000.

As one of the users who got the first generation of saga, I expect that the most valuable airdrop I will receive is saga monkey. The peak price even reached 15 sols, worth $1,500.

This is already the cost of two mobile phones, not even including the value of other airdropped coins. It is already worth the money. This is the charm of web3.

Let’s first take a brief look at the highlights of the SOL second-generation mobile phone.

Highlights of SOL Phone:

Native Web3 experience: The Solana second-generation phone will provide a native Web3 experience, allowing users to easily access applications and services on the Solana blockchain, such as decentralized exchanges, wallets, games, etc.

Safe and reliable: Solana’s second-generation mobile phone will be equipped with a security chip to ensure the safety of user assets. In addition, the phone will also support end-to-end encryption to protect user privacy.

Powerful performance: The Solana 2nd generation phone will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 12GB of memory, providing powerful performance.

Unique Identifiers: The Solana 2nd Generation Phone will provide users with a unique identifier that can be used for authentication and authorization on the Solana blockchain.

Everyone should know that the first generation of sol mobile phones brought many benefits to the holders, and the second generation has improved the mobile phone experience and performance.

However, it will not be shipped until 2025. At present, the wallet address of the second-generation mobile phone I purchased has received 2 airdrops, and the money for the mobile phone has been returned.

Another web3-specific phone is coming

CoralApp, an investment and incubation company of Binance Labs, announced the launch of its first Web3 mobile phone, CoralPhone, which is also known as the first BNB phone.

CoralPhone aims to become an aggregator of multi-chain ecosystems, supporting the BNB Chain ecosystem and cooperating with several well-known public chain ecosystems including Solana, Scroll, Swam, Tap, etc.

CoralPhone is not only aimed at the high-end market, but will also launch mid- and low-end models, using the Android kernel layer architecture and equipped with top-level AI chips.

The phone is expected to announce its second round of investment institutions in the fourth quarter of 2024, and its financing scale is expected to exceed that of the Solana ecosystem mobile phone project Saga.

Coral Phone, known as the "AI flagship phone" in the Web3 field, is a dedicated smartphone launched by CoralApp for Web3 users. It will launch high-end, mid-range and low-end models to meet the needs of different countries and regions, and adopts the Android kernel layer architecture.

While customizing and optimizing the bottom layer of the system OS, it will be equipped with the top AI chip in the mobile phone industry, innovate and explore the integration of AI-driven technology and DePIN services, and bring new smart hardware and underlying system-level infrastructure and the entrance to the Web3 world to the encryption industry.

To date, there are more than 400 million crypto users worldwide. Web3 has become a mainstream industry, and the demand for dedicated devices is getting higher and higher. Taking Coral Phone as an example, it can at least bring the following advantages:

1) Exclusive ecological dividends from official and third-party cooperation projects

Benefits! Benefits! Benefits! Important things should be said three times. Web3 projects, especially the super bonuses of new tracks, all early participants have made a lot of money.

Currently, there are few strong players in the Web3 mobile track because of the high costs and initial investment required by upstream and downstream industries, and the early dividends will be relatively concentrated, especially for early bird users.

This can be seen from the early users of the Solana Saga generation. The CoralPhone, which is aimed at multi-chain users, will have more extensive benefits due to its wide range of cooperation.

CoralPhone is about to be released. In addition to enjoying lower prices, early bird users will definitely get the most benefits from various cooperative ecosystems.

The reason behind this is that high-quality Web3 project parties have seen the value behind the Web3 mobile project and ecosystem.

It not only provides a low-threshold entry for new users, but also serves as a vertically precise "distribution center" for high-net-worth target users.

Users who are willing to spend money to try and test innovative Web3 phones are likely to be deep Web3 users that major crypto communities are vying to attract.

At the same time, the OS system-level Web3 entrance will bring a lot of DApp customization optimization, attention marketing and other cooperation, and third-party projects will be happy to distribute tokens and other benefits to Web3 mobile phone users.

2) Zero-threshold entry user experience derived from underlying optimization

Over the past few years, the entire crypto community has been exploring capacity expansion, account abstraction, and other methods that can lower the threshold for use, improve user experience, and enable large-scale adoption of future Web3 applications.

In fact, even today when crypto assets have become mainstream assets, people still face various thresholds when using Web3 applications on their mobile phones.

Take the most basic crypto wallets, platform apps and the Google Authenticator app for example. Android phones need to install Google Play, and Apple AppStore accounts need to change regions.

These two operations seem simple, but in fact they directly discourage most novice users. Do you think you can download it by simply searching on a search engine?

I’m sorry, but viruses and Trojans followed, and many people’s crypto assets were stolen in this way.

Whenever a new user asks about how to install a wallet, Google Password Authenticator, etc., I have to say responsibly that the complexity of this process cannot be solved in a few words.

At this time, there is an urgent need for a smartphone that is friendly to crypto-apps, has a built-in secure crypto-chip management wallet, has its own app store for direct downloads without blocking, has market software and eye-catching news alerts, and is optimized for Web3 users to get started right away.

Final Thoughts

CoralPhone, saga... It can be foreseen that as web3 is widely used, more manufacturers will produce dedicated web3 phones in the future.

Regardless of the manufacturer, the development trend of Web3 mobile phones generally has the following six aspects:

1. Integration of hardware encryption wallet: Web3 mobile phone has built-in hardware encryption wallet, which is an offline digital safe used to protect and encrypt users' private information, ensuring the security of users' assets.

2. Multi-chain ecological intelligent Web3 portal: These mobile phones support multiple blockchain networks and provide intelligent Web3 portals, allowing users to seamlessly switch between different blockchain networks and operate decentralized applications.

3. Application of AI technology: With the development of AI technology, Web3 mobile phones have begun to integrate AI technology to provide more intelligent services and experiences, such as AI-driven technology and DePIN services, to enhance user experience.

4. Security and privacy protection: Web3 mobile phone emphasizes security and privacy protection, and protects users' digital identity and data sovereignty through multiple security measures at the hardware and software levels.

5. Airdrop reward mechanism: Some Web3 phones offer airdrop reward mechanisms to attract users to purchase and use these phones, thereby promoting the development of the Web3 ecosystem.

6. Market and technology driven: With the increasing market demand for Web3 technology and the development of technological innovation, Web3 phones continue to emerge to meet the market demand for efficient, secure and convenient Web3 experience.

Web3 mobile phones are not only a product of technological innovation, but also a reflection of market demand.

With the popularization of cryptocurrency blockchain and the relaxation of policies in various countries, it will become a reality that everyone in the cryptocurrency circle will have a Web3 phone in the future.
