The Solana team has brought mobile phones to Web3 after revealing that Saga, Solana’s Android mobile device, will ship with the project’s latest stack for Web3 developers, the Solana mobile stack. The community welcomed the new development with various reactions, from comparing the project to Apple and Ethereum to raising concerns about Solana’s network outages.<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

vinny lingham praised<\/a> the move and called it Web3’s “iPhone moment” and thanked Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko for making it possible<\/strong>. For his part, David Ticzon was also impressed<\/a> and called Solana the “Apple of Web3” in a tweet.<\/p>\n

Some members of the community also used the occasion to compare Solana’s progress with the Ethereum network. Twitter user Thesolmane he pointed<\/a> that while Solana launched a Web3 phone, Ethereum remains “without innovation in years”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a Twitter thread, user Nathanweb3 also explained<\/a> how Solana is becoming a growing threat to Ethereum. <\/strong>According to Twitter user, Solana developers are able to grasp the shortcomings of ETH when it comes to user experience. Because of this, the Solana team is addressing the issues and making things simpler for everyday users. have tweeted<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

While many had a positive response, others couldn’t help but bring up the issue of Solana’s network outages. At the beginning of June, the price of Solana (SOL) plummeted because the network suffered its fifth interruption in the year<\/strong>. Because of this, Twitter user Metamaxie questioned<\/a> why Solana is trying to be a phone manufacturer when it should be focused on making its blockchain trustworthy. <\/p>\n

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has also taken as hint<\/a> Solana’s new move. According to Hoskinson, people would need to find seven of their friends on Discord to reboot the phone, which means the phone may suffer similar performance issues as Solana’s blockchain.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
