October 21, 2025 . The Saga mobile development team under Solana announced on Monday that it will cease official support for the Saga smartphone, marking the end of Solana’s direct involvement in its blockchain‑integrated handset project launched in 2023.

According to the announcement, the discontinuation includes software updates, maintenance patches, and customer support services. Existing Saga devices will remain functional, but no further firmware or security enhancements will be released.

Launched as one of the first Web3‑native smartphones, the Saga gained attention for integrating the Solana Mobile Stack (SMS) — a toolkit that enables decentralized applications, crypto‑wallet access, and NFT transactions directly on mobile devices. Despite early enthusiasm from crypto communities, the phone’s user adoption remained limited.

Industry observers see this move as a strategic shift by Solana toward strengthening its core blockchain network and developer ecosystem, rather than continuing its own hardware program. The team stated it would focus on improving the Solana Mobile Stack for use across third‑party Android devices.
