Coral is set to make waves in the smartphone market, capitalizing on its launch amid a landscape of over 6.84 billion active devices, projected to exceed 7.1 billion by 2024. Announced recently, Coral’s latest smartphone integrates AI with web3 capabilities, aiming to democratize decentralized finance (DeFi), GameFi, and SocialFi.
“Besides offering features available on traditional smartphones, the Coral phone is designed to work seamlessly with decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs).”
Users can engage directly with DeFi services, managing investments, trading cryptocurrencies, and earning interest on digital assets, all without additional devices or apps. Moreover, the phone supports multi-chain functionalities, enabling interaction across diverse blockchain networks.
Coral Phone also facilitates participation in DePIN services, allowing users to generate passive income, toggleable at their discretion.
“In addition to decentralized finance, Coral Phone embraces decentralized social networks and web3 games, empowering users to control their data and explore income-generating opportunities.”
“CoralApp aims to curate a digital lifestyle that is not only rewarding but also engaging and empowering,” the firm highlighted in a medium blog.
All user assets and private keys are safeguarded within Coral Vault, fortified by AES encryption, Secure Element (SE), and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
“An advanced biometric authentication system ensures security with fingerprint scanning and facial recognition.”
The device boasts a 6.55-inch AMOLED display, a robust 4800mAh battery, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, promising seamless performance. Pre-registration for Coral Phone is now open, priced at $1,500 for the first 2000 units, with delivery expected within six months.
Coral Phone enters a competitive arena, challenging products like Solana Labs’ Saga smartphone and the JamboPhone from Web3 smartphone manufacturer Jambo in collaboration with the Aptos foundation. Solana’s Saga phone, despite initial demand, faced criticism from YouTuber Marques Brownlee as the “failure of 2023.”
