If you haven't heard of the famous crypto phone HTC Exodus 1 which you can get a quick look over the official landing page, check them out as it is quite hyped up now.

But I don't think it is a worthwhile investment as a phone.

I took a quick look on the phone specs and selling points. Exodus 1 comes with a modern spec that many other phones are sharing, nothing short but nothing outstanding on the paper.

While the biggest selling points could be summed up as follows:

  • The only crypto is acceptable for payment.
  • Build-in crypto wallet.
  • Integrated Brave as the default browser.

Basically, it is just a smart hardware wallet. A hardware wallet that is able to make calls. While crypto security is the main attraction here, making your hardware wallet a smartphone just degrade the security so much. Simple, when a device offers a dozen ways for decryption other than just the 12-word seeds, it makes the device more vulnerable.

Furthermore, this crypto phone just supporting coins like BTC, LTC, ETH and ERC-721 and they called it All-in-one wallet. Just buy a Ledger Nano for under $100 would be a much wiser choice.

    All it has to make it "crypto" is a secure compartment inside its CPU right?

    You're right, I won't want to buy them on that credit alone.

    Not really sure how it works but I guess it is just a hardware wallet in another form. Not interesting indeed.
