I think it's interesting and good news. If blockchain is used on smartphones, it will be more and more people who know the existence of blockchain and cryptocurrency itself. So that more and more people who know and know cryptocurrency, the crypto currency is more global. That will have a good effect on the world's economic growth.

Next time, try to include a link on your post if the title is intriguing enough to warrant it: http://bgr.com/2018/05/16/htc-exodus-bitcoin-phone-blockchain/

HTC Exodus, based on the article, wouldn't be running on native Android. As far as the report goes, this phone would have iphone 6 parts and would mainly focus on the utilization of dapps on the fly whenever the user wants to use it. Idk how would they accomplish such a feat but HTC is known for many firsts in mobile phones. This phone featuring the blockchain tech, I think, would be useful for people and companies who needs to have high security on their machines without losing portability and other features you can find on a mobile phone. I'd definitely love to get my hands on it though I don't think it would sell out that much. I guess we need to wait for more details regarding Exodus and see whether it really is a worth-it blockchain phone or not.

If it's a blockchain phone for the sake of creating a blockchain phone, it's not going to be successful. It would have to utilize the blockchain aspect in such a way that it can do non-gimmicky things that traditional smartphones can't.

That being said, I don't have high hopes for this particular HTC project. It could spawn revolutionary ones though. I doubt it because I don't believe this is a sound application of the technology, but you'll never know.

I think it's a very good idea to create a blockchain phone. Most likely, other campaigns will soon be connected to the development of such a phone. As the development of the cryptocurrency, the demand for a blockchain phone will grow. Maybe someday there will be a majority of such phones.

I think that releasing Blockchain smartphones now is done just for marketing to attract crypto loyal audience.
Another good example: Sirin Finney Smartphone (price is ~999$). Finney is expected to be released in October 2018.

Every innovation has some positive and negative side as well. So, they plan the Exodus phone will have support for bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major networks, with more partnerships expected to come later on.Whatever happens, it's sure to be worth watching.

I think it is a good step towards creating awareness about blockchain

What makes this HTC blockchain phone unique comparing to the other regular (random) phones, I really don't get what is a blockchain phone as the term blockchain is being used too much maybe just for making attention and being listed into the cryptonews and magazines.

If it is a blockchain phone does it mean that the phone should be always connected to the internet and be online all the time?

I dont know if this would be a hit for htc their phones have been not selling for a while now. i dont know if a average crypto user would buy this phone unless they really need it. im sure the phone would be costly around 1k usd in my speculation.

now even samsung is stepping for the game.
