The Solana (SOL) team has brought mobile phones to Web3 after revealing Saga, Solana\u2019s Android mobile device that will go out with the project\u2019s 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 (ETH) to bringing up concerns over Solana\u2019s network outages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vinny Lingham praised the move and called it Web3\u2019s very own \u201ciPhone moment\u201d and thanked Solana Co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko for making it possible. Meanwhile, David Ticzon was also impressed, calling Solana the \u201cApple of Web3\u201d in a tweet.<\/p>\n
Some community members also took this opportunity to compare SOL\u2019s progress to the ETH network. Twitter user Thesolmane pointed out that while Solana launched a Web3 phone, Ethereum stays “without innovation in years.” <\/p>\n

While many had a positive response, others couldn\u2019t help but bring out the issue of Solana\u2019s network outages. At the start of June, SOL\u2019s price took a dive as the network suffered its fifth outage within the year. Because of this, Twitter user Metamaxie questioned why SOL is trying to be a phone manufacturer when it should focus on making its blockchain reliable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
