Just read a good news and wanted to share:-

A very renown company like HTC just released a smartphone which have full node capabilities in which the user can actually generate their own keys and even run transactions without the use of any extra software or wallet .

They have also placed the price somewhat affordable like 250$ for per piece and this is something that is no other smart phone in the history ever did .

What do you think will be the next step since more companies are now going to be influenced by what they did therefore ; the acceptance is now wide spread therefore we can expect the price to increase further .

Is it beneficial ?
What is it's scope in the future further ?

It's unfortunate that the HTC products are hard to find in this part of the world. This goes to show that numerous industries are already seeing the need to associate with the blockchain community and provides solutions that will be befitting to crypto enthusiasts. I look forward to having a device like this..

Is good that HTC make this type of phone, but maybe if is full node people will not let phone to run so much time for the node and running a node without rewards can not be like by some people.

If running a full node for the purpose of helping the network, then I'm a little bit skeptical. A full node should preferably be up 24/7 and for a phone, It should be resource consuming to do so when it comes to the battery and also storage as years go by.

Running full node on a phone actually sounds quite cool, because it would give more privacy and security to mobile users, but I too am really skeptical about the possibility of actually achieving it, I have a decent modern PC and I don't run full node because it cripples my performance to the point when it slows down other programs. The battery charge, memory storage, processing power, mobile data, all those things together would probably make running a full node a frustrating experience.

I like what HTC is trying to do here even though their mobiles are not very popular.

I don't really know the technical stuff involved here, but the intention is great and other companies should follow suite. $250 is a pretty great price in this aspect and I will definitely check it out soon.

And If by that, it's just so the user is in full control of his transactions unlike with SPV wallets or closed source/centralized ones then, to be honest, I doubt that anyone cares that much. Not to buy another phone anyway.

I would rather go with something like Bitseed. It's a little bit more expensive, but it does the job perfectly and it's up 24/7 and it also lasts for years to come (1 TBB storage).
