Solana Mobile: Idea behind This

Currently, web3 is limited to desktop users. Even though technically you can use it on a smartphone, the experience isn't good, and some features might be out of reach. Therefore, Solana is bringing a mobile platform to allow developers to build Web3 experiences for such devices. They are also equipping it with all the necessary equipment required for this.

Solana Mobile will have a seed vault built directly into the hardware, SolanaPay, a decentralized appstore, and so many such awesome features. This will make the experience of Web3 on the go seamless, which was not possible until now.

It was the first Android phone with a notch display. However, the company's expertise lies in privacy, and aims to make smartphones focused on that front.
