The second generation phone of Solana Mobile @solanamobile, #Seeker# , has recently started global shipping, with the first batch of 150,000 units gradually reaching users.



As an upgraded version of #Saga# , it focuses on hardware optimization and native encryption features, aiming to promote the popularization of the Solana ecosystem on mobile devices.

This Seeker phone is more like a toy customized for crypto players. If you usually enjoy trading on Solana, grabbing airdrops, or playing with dApps, then it really is quite appealing—fingerprint unlock for the Seed Vault wallet, hardware-level security, this is very practical, much stronger than ordinary phones.

Based on user reviews, it is said to be light, has a good battery, and the unboxing process is smooth, but the camera and speakers are average. If you're thinking of buying it as your main device for taking photos and posting on social media, you might be disappointed. It feels more like a "secondary device" specifically used for cryptocurrency.

There are also issues with slow delivery and unreliable customer service. Solana needs to improve this quickly, or its reputation could easily collapse.

From an economic model perspective, the $SKR token and #Genesis NFT are indeed appealing. However, if people are only buying for the airdrop, the hype may not last long.

What truly allows this phone to thrive is whether the ecosystem can be developed and whether it can make people feel that "by holding it, they can indeed access things that others cannot."

In the future, if #SolanaMobile opens this system to more mobile brands, the penetration rate of Web3 will significantly increase. But this also means that competition will be more intense, and the ecosystem may become fragmented; then we will have to see Solana's operational capabilities.

If you are a heavy user of Solana, Seeker is worth buying, the experience is indeed different; but if you are just curious or want to use it as a main device, it is recommended to wait and see, and wait for the update in September to see if there are more practical uses.

This phone is definitely not a "must-have for everyone", but it might be the most sincere one in the crypto phone market.
