To join the waiting list, a $100 deposit is required, refundable if not accepted. The final price of the Android-based smartphone will be $1,000.

Delivery is slated for early 2023. In the first wave are the United States, Canada, the EU, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. The team said other countries would be considered in the future.

Saga was introduced in June 2022. The device is a custom version of a smartphone from OSOM with built-in cryptocurrency wallet features.

The device features a 6.67-inch OLED display, 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. The smartphone is built on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.

In June 2022, the Taiwanese company HTC released the Desire 22 Pro smartphone with support for the metaverse and NFTs.
