On September 19, 2024, Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, announced the rebranding of its new smartphone. Initially referred to as "Chapter 2," the second-generation smartphone is now officially named the Solana Seeker.

Solana Mobile, a company under blockchain technology firm Solana Labs, is dedicated to developing and delivering smartphones tailored for the Web3 ecosystem.

The Solana Seeker is the second-generation Web3 smartphone developed by Solana Mobile, scheduled for release in 2025. This device follows the success of its predecessor, the Solana Saga.

Priced at $450 (as of the time of writing), the Solana Seeker has already secured over 140,000 pre-orders across 57 countries.

Solana Seeker’s standout features include:

• Seed Vault Wallet
  Developed in collaboration with Solflare, this self-custody wallet is integrated directly into the device. It offers convenient transaction approvals with a double-tap and streamlined account management features.
• Solana dApp Store 2.0
  The new version of the dApp store includes a reward tracker that allows users to monitor all rewards in one place. It also makes it easier to discover apps related to payments, DeFi, DePIN, NFTs, AI, and gaming.
• Seeker Genesis Token
  Each Solana Seeker device comes with a non-transferable NFT that offers exclusive rewards and access within the Solana ecosystem.
• Hardware Upgrades
  Compared to the previous model, the Seeker boasts improvements in weight reduction, enhanced display brightness, better camera performance, and longer battery life.

With an active community within Solana, the development of dedicated apps, rewards, and functionalities for the Seeker is in full swing.
