The new Solana-based mobile is set for release in 2025, with new upgrades in hardware, including an enhanced display, improved battery life, and better camera capabilities. The Seeker mobile has already grabbed considerable interest with over 140,000 presales across 57 countries.

Further, the cryptocurrency price is above the 9-day and 21-day MA. This indicates a strong upward trend, suggesting continued bullish momentum for the token.

While analyzing the SOL/USD 4-hour chart, the altcoin is facing local resistance at $145. This is a level it must get over to maintain an upward trajectory.
