Saga

Apple

Solana Mobile has officially ended support for its Saga smartphone, just two years after its launch. The company confirmed that it will no longer provide software or security updates, effectively marking the end of the device’s lifecycle.
“The Solana Mobile Saga has reached the end of its support lifecycle,” the company <a href="https://intercom.help/solana-mobile/en/articles/12600995-saga-end-of-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> in a post on its website, warning that “compatibility with new software or services cannot be guaranteed.” Customer service will now be limited to basic inquiries.
The announcement means Saga owners will no longer receive vital security patches, leaving devices increasingly exposed to vulnerabilities. The two-year cutoff contrasts sharply with industry standards, Apple supports its iPhones for at least five years, while Google has extended updates for newer Pixel models to seven.
Launched in May 2023, the Saga was pitched as a <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2022/06/24/solana-drops-saga-the-first-web3-android-smartphone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Web3-native smartphone</a>, designed to merge blockchain tools with everyday mobile functionality and bypass restrictive app store rules. Built by California-based OSOM in collaboration with Solana Mobile, the device sold around 20,000 units, far below its 50,000-unit target.
For many users, Saga’s legacy lies less in mobile innovation and more in its unexpected role in Solana’s memecoin frenzy. The phone shipped with preloaded crypto wallets, which later became targets for lucrative token airdrops from Solana-based projects.&nbsp;
The move comes just months after Solana launched its new Seeker phone, casting doubt on whether crypto-branded hardware can survive beyond hype cycles.
