The Seeker phone arrives in a sleek black box, similar to the Saga but with a twist: it’s wrapped in an extra layer resembling a military-style “ready-to-eat” ration bag lol
The packaging still feels premium tho
Inside, the box includes a USB-C charging cable
The Seeker has a good grip, is robust, and offers an overall clean design
Weighing just 192g, it's more than 20% lighter than the previous Saga phone (247g)
First things first: Setting up the phone
The phone comes with a pre-installed seed vault, which can be managed using the fingerprint sensor on the side
Users can also mint the genesis token (potentially useful for future airdrops) and choose a Seeker ID
Every transaction on the phone automatically goes through the Seed Vault wallet app and can be approved using the fingerprint sensor
This time, the Seeker phone doesn't come with a pre-loaded amount of SOL (Saga had 0.1 SOL pre-loaded)
The Seed Vault wallet app charges a 0.8% fee on swaps
The Solana Mobile dApp store comes with a record-breaking 100+ dApps
Unfortunately, many of these are just shortcuts to their website
Anyway, Solana Mobile called September to be a big month for the Solana Mobile dApp ecosystem
Of course, the camera might not rival an iPhone's but tbf that’s not why anyone bought the Seeker in the first place
Some users did notice the device getting slightly warm during extended use
But overall, the battery life and display are a clear upgrade over the Saga
TL;DR
Security with the seed vault is top notch (can be used as hardware device)
100+ dApps with many more to come in September
A completely overworked improved version from the Saga
SKR to be launched soon (once everyone has its phone)
