Is that phone supposed to replace a hardware wallet when it comes to security? It costs almost 1000$. I see no reason to buy it unless you actually need a phone at the same time. Instead, one could accumulate more bitcoins and buy a hardware wallet which is much cheaper.

This would only caught attention of crypto users but on a typical citizen that knows nothing about blockchain tech will definitely find a better option. SD 845 is the latest Chip on the market and with the current conversion of
0.15 btc as of writing is $960 which isnt really bad for a flagship model plus an integrated blockchain wallet  usability but it wont really be practical at all because i with that price i will buy
 Xiaomi Pocophone F1 with the price of $300+ plus a Ledger nano for hardware wallet purposes for a cheap price then imagine on how much you have saved? HTC is long gone on the race of companies into mobile industry but still this comeback will really be a flop.

Hmm.. I could probably get a phone with a specs like that in a cheaper price, so I guess the reason why it's priced like that, is because of the cryptocurency features.

And there's really not much info on their site about it (its prolly not worth the money tho). Well anyways, If someone reading this is planning to buy, I would suggest to wait for some reviews first unless you're super rich.

If only I'm capable of buying that but sadly I won't purchase that phone for now. I'll wait after few years until I can purchase it at all. I don't spend money if I still got phone to use but I would love to have it when I can.

I hope that HTC would keep on developing blockchain smartphones. I'm counting for the success of this phone.

HTC Exodus is available, in Early Access, purchasable only in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The price: 0.15 BTC or 4.78 ETH.
Some main specs:
Snapdragon 845
6 GB RAM
128GB Internal Memory
QHD+ display
16+12 Megapixel cameras (Will probably be one of the bests in the market, as HTC U12+ ranks 3rd on DxOmark)

Its clear to see, that his is a high-end phone, only purchasable with cryptocurrencies. But what makes it special, is the fact that it is the first ever phone dedicated to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
It will include a "secure enclave" that is separate from the Android operating system, where cryptocurrency, and private keys can be securely stored. Also, the phone will support dApps.

But lets not forget: HTC is close to an all-time low, and is the worst in 15  years (by stock prices).
I'm curious to see how will it turn out.
