HTC Exodus is available, in Early Access, purchasable only in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The price: 0.15 BTC or 4.78 ETH.
Some main specs:
Snapdragon 845
6 GB RAM
128GB Internal Memory
QHD+ display
16+12 Megapixel cameras (Will probably be one of the bests in the market, as HTC U12+ ranks 3rd on DxOmark)

Its clear to see, that his is a high-end phone, only purchasable with cryptocurrencies. But what makes it special, is the fact that it is the first ever phone dedicated to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
It will include a "secure enclave" that is separate from the Android operating system, where cryptocurrency, and private keys can be securely stored. Also, the phone will support dApps.

But lets not forget: HTC is close to an all-time low, and is the worst in 15  years (by stock prices).
I'm curious to see how will it turn out.

The only way I see it being useful when it comes to the blockchain space is the ability to store your private key and really I would rather go buy a safe or a ledger Nano to do that than rely on some mobile software on some HTC phone to do that for me. It is not a bad specs for a phone actually and whoever wants to buy it can be my guest, but this is not the first high end phone that would come with even better specs than this. I am actually looking forward to see how the Apps aspect is going to be playing out though, but in situations like this, I always like to stay on the sidelines and watch how events unfold than being too much in haste.
