The phone from (some of) the creators of the original Essential Phone has finally seen the light of day, although along the way it has had to jump on the cryptocurrency bandwagon since is part of the Solana blockchain platform. The good news is that in theory, if you don’t care at all, you can disable add-ons altogether.
The Solana Phone had been in pre-purchase on the Solana site for a few months, even if it was above all a question of faith, since the complete technical sheet of the terminal was not official. It’s now and we finally know what we are in this new high-end mobile.
The terminal fails to surprise as the Essential Phone did, betting on a screen 6.67-inch AMOLED, Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The Essential Phone surprised us with its teardrop notch five years ago, but here we have the same front hole for the 16-megapixel camera as in almost all other terminals.
Behind, the design of the module for the cameras, with a dual camera with 50 megapixel sensor and 12 megapixel wide angle, It is somewhat curious, although it is not too surprising since it is similar to OPPO’s bet on the latest OPPO Find X5. The fingerprint reader is behind, yes, which is quite unusual.
With Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage (and MicroSD), the Solana phone mounts a battery with a capacity of 4,110 mAh and fast charging to be specified, in addition to supporting charging Qi wireless. The terminal is IP68 certified and stands out for its materials, including ceramic, steel and titanium.
and yes too has cryptographic functions just like in the latest HTC Exodus. It’s, in the words of the text, a phone “to trade tokens while waiting for a coffee, rack up NFTs on your morning commutes, and get instant access to the dApps you love the most, no matter what.” anywhere and anytime”. This, with almost unmodified pure Android 13.
Versions and prices of Solana Sage
The Solana Sage can be reserved on its official website after paying $100, although the terminal will not be sold until early 2023. It will be available in the United States, Canada, Europe and the United Kingdom and its final price is $1,000.
