The ethOS phone, a mobile device that supports EVM chains and layer 2s, sold out its pre-sale stock in a single day. This is in stark contrast to the Solana Saga phone, which has seen its price drop by 40% and has only sold 2,120 units since its launch in April 2023.The ethOS phone is a revamped version of the Google Pixel 7a and runs the Ethereum-native mobile operating system, ethOS. It has an in-built wallet, making it easy to integrate with other crypto wallets, and a distinct security chip to encrypt and store private keys securely.The pre-sale was limited to 50 phones, and prospective buyers had to mint an ethOS NFT and burn it to get their hands on the device. These NFTs are now hot commodities on OpenSea, with some fetching as much as 3 ETH, approximately $5,000.Solana Mobile has responded to the low demand for the Saga phone by cutting its price tag from $1,000 to $599. The ethOS phone is set to go on regular orders this fall, and the Solana Saga phone is strategizing a resurgence. The mobile web3 realm is on the cusp of a showdown.
