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.

So my question is what exactly makes this phone so special, because based on what I have seen there isn't anything so special about it, unless maybe it contains more security features than other phones in terms of storing your bitcoin and other crypto assets.

But, I don't have interest in it, I already have a hardware wallet that I'm making use of and I also have a very good phone, so all these things doesn't really matter to me. And another thing I don't like is that the phone is costly, but whatever
