Finally, the long-awaited second-generation Solana phone has arrived, but was this wait worth it? I placed the order in January 2024 and didn't receive the goods until September 12, 2025. This lengthy waiting time is truly frustrating.

This device from Hong Kong, although highly anticipated, is disappointing in actual use. In terms of configuration, it seems quite outdated, especially the 128GB of storage, which feels particularly inadequate in today's rapidly evolving technology landscape, to the extent that even the younger generation is reluctant to accept it.

What is even more concerning is that, with the delay in the release date, whether the originally anticipated airdrop benefits will still be fulfilled has become an unresolved question. Without additional incentives, the value of this phone seems to have significantly decreased.

In the face of such situations, many users may consider selling their devices on the second-hand market. Carousel, as a popular second-hand trading platform, may become the choice for many. However, considering the actual performance of the devices, it may not be easy to achieve the desired selling price.

This experience inevitably raises the question: in the rapidly changing world of technology, can long product delivery cycles still meet consumer expectations? Should we maintain a more rational attitude towards the integration of blockchain technology and traditional hardware? Regardless, Solana's attempt undoubtedly provides valuable experience and lessons for the entire industry.
