Features Of HTC’s Blockchain Smartphone Revealed Ahead Of Launch

With cryptocurrency and Blockchain playing an ever-growing role in the modern era, it was only a matter of time before a smartphone with a major focus on those concepts is made. This is exactly what HTC did with a device that it is calling the Exodus. While it’s being called a Blockchain Smartphone, it would be pointless to get it if no one knew what it actually does. This is why its features have been revealed ahead of launch.

According to Digitimes, several cryptocurrencies will be supported by the Exodus from the start. Some of them might even come with the smartphone pre-built, which saves users from having to download the apps and installing them individually. Among the currencies that will be available include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lightning Networks, and Dfinity.

The smartphone will also apparently come with a crypto wallet called Cold Wallet, which is where users can store coins from a number of crypto platforms. Exodus was even made to support apps that are specifically designed to work on a decentralized network. Naturally, since it is a device that has cryptocurrency as its main selling point, its security features will also be quite high.

With regards to the hardware and software specifications of the device, no details have been revealed, so far. The same goes for the price and where it will become available, The International Business Times reports.

Due to the growing popularity and significance of Blockchain, however, it’s safe to say that it will have a fairly wide commercial area to work with. With its features, the cost is also likely to be in the mid-to-high range and it might be fairly stylish in design. It’s also worth noting that HTC is apparently also accepting cryptocurrency payments when buying the phone itself, which is fitting considering what it’s being sold as.
