HTC’s Exodus: The Blockchain-Powered Phone Now Available for Pre-Orders in Cryptocurrency

HTC’s latest offering, the blockchain-powered phone Exodus, has officially hit the market and is now available for pre-orders. The unique feature of this device is its integration of blockchain technology, which allows users to securely store and manage their cryptocurrency assets through a built-in wallet called Zion.

The Exodus phone is priced at 0.15 Bitcoin or 4.78 Etherium, which equates to around $967. Customers interested in purchasing the device will need to make their payment in cryptocurrency, showcasing a new trend in the tech industry.

One of the standout features of the Exodus is its ‘secure enclave,’ a specialized area within the phone’s chip that operates independently from the Android system. Developed using technology from SoftBank-backed Arm Holdings, this enclave functions as a micro OS running parallel to Android, ensuring enhanced security for cryptocurrency transactions and storage.

Specs-wise, the Exodus boasts a 6.0-inch HD Plus display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset. It comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, promising smooth performance and ample space for data and apps.

On the camera front, the device features a dual setup on the rear with 12 MP and 16 MP units for high-quality photography and zoom capabilities. For selfies, there’s a dual 8 MP camera setup that offers ‘natural Bokeh’ effects. The camera is also capable of shooting 4K videos at 60 FPS, catering to users’ multimedia needs.

HTC has also focused on audio quality, equipping the Exodus with HTC’s BoomSound Hi-Fi edition and HTC USonic with Active Noise Cancellation for an immersive audio experience. The device runs on Android Oreo and houses a 3500 mAh battery with fast charging support, ensuring that users can stay connected and powered throughout the day.

Overall, the Exodus represents HTC’s foray into the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and secure features for users looking to delve into the world of digital assets and decentralized transactions.
