Solana Mobile Ends Support for Saga as Focus Turns to Seeker

The Saga’s brief lifespan underscores how far its update policy lagged behind mainstream smartphones.

Overview

  • Solana Mobile confirmed the Saga has reached end-of-support, stopping software and security updates and limiting assistance to general inquiries.
  • Roughly 20,000 devices are affected, with units remaining on Android 14 and a final security patch dated November 2024.
  • The phone’s just-over-two-year window contrasts with multi‑year commitments from Apple and Google, raising long-term security concerns for owners.
  • The company has shifted to the Seeker, which began shipping in August with about 150,000 preorders and features like SeekerID and an improved decentralized app store.
  • Saga’s most prominent legacy was a flood of memecoin airdrops to its preloaded wallets, which eclipsed the device’s original Web3-first goals.
