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
It's just marketing, don't fall for this. You can get a Xiaomi Pocophone F1 (same CPU, RAM, storage and better battery capacity) for 300$ then buy a ledger nano S or Trezor and have around 250$ left.
Exactly. Don't buy the hype, I would rather invest on a hardware wallet than buying a expensive phone with blockchain or crypto wallet features. Doesn't make sense at all to shell out that huge money when there is that big risk involved because your phone will always be connected on the internet, and that is one possible weaknesses of this phone.
