Solana News Today: Solana Mobile Seeker Pre-Orders Top 150000 Units Worldwide

Solana Mobile’s Seeker smartphone has generated strong global interest, with pre-orders exceeding 150,000 units in 57 countries. Deliveries began on August 4, 2025, following a successful pre-order campaign that positions the device as the most anticipated consumer product in the company’s portfolio [1]. Priced between $450 and $500, the Seeker is designed as a more affordable successor to the Saga model, which launched at $1,000 in 2023 [1]. The lower price point, combined with enhanced design and functionality, appears to have driven the high demand.

The smartphone is built with Android compatibility and includes a range of integrated blockchain features tailored for Web3 users. These include Seed Vault for secure private key storage, a built-in dApp Store with over 100 applications, and access to NFTs through the Genesis Token [1]. The device also runs on the TEEPIN architecture, a decentralized framework that uses cryptographic attestation to verify software authenticity and enhance security [1].

Hardware improvements include a 6.36-inch AMOLED display, a 108+32 MP camera, and a battery optimized for Web3 application usage [1]. These upgrades come in response to prior concerns over the Saga model, which recorded only 20,000 sales and faced a reported security vulnerability identified by CertiK analysts. At the time, Solana Mobile denied the existence of any security threat, but the Seeker’s launch reflects an apparent effort to address such issues [1].

The strong pre-order numbers are expected to generate at least $67.5 million in revenue for the company [1]. Analysts suggest the success of the Seeker highlights a growing appetite for mobile Web3 solutions, as users increasingly seek secure and integrated ways to interact with DeFi and NFTs [2]. The Seeker’s affordable pricing and robust feature set have positioned it as a key contender in the blockchain smartphone market, particularly as competitors continue to enter the space with similar offerings.

Looking ahead, Solana Mobile has announced plans to integrate AI and DePin (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) services into the Seeker, further expanding its capabilities and reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation in the Web3 ecosystem [1]. The ongoing expansion of its feature set and the device’s initial success indicate a potential shift in consumer adoption of blockchain technology beyond traditional platforms.
