HTC changes the terms of sale of its smartphone blockchain – previously only sold for crypto, it can now be purchased in USD format or other
On Tuesday, February 26, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it was announced that HTC was now expanding the possibilities of buying its new Exodus 1 cryptophone by selling it not only to BTC and ETH.
Second launch – bigger and better
Now, one can buy the phone also with BNB and LTC, as well as fiduciary currencies, including the US dollar.
The head of the "line of decentralization" at HTC, Phil Chen, said in an interview that this was a second launch more important than that undertaken in late 2018.
The current price of the phone is about $ 700 and the product is available online. Subsequently, according to Chen, the gadget will also be sold in offline stores.
Negotiations with chain stores to sell the phone are underway and this is apparently what has made HTC participate in the Mobile World Congress.
Support for Web 3.0, merge with Opera
On Tuesday, HTC also announced plans to integrate Exodus into the Opera browser.
This popular browser already cooperates with encrypted portfolios. One of them is the Zion Mobile App, which provides the services of a safe storage for virtual coins.
This will allow users who prefer this application to others to perform micropayments on various sites directly through the browser or via ds installed on the phone.
Phil Chen mentioned in the interview that Exodus was originally created to incorporate the Web 3.0 concept. He estimates that in the future, about 80% of popular dapps currently on the market will work on HTC's new smartphone.
Charles Hamel, representative of the Opera and responsible for the direction of the cryptographic activities of the browser, said publicly that his company was proud to work with HTC and its new smartphone. He also added that a new generation of the Web is about to arrive, where cryptography will be used easily and securely by users.
Security of crypto on Exodus
The new smartphone only works with a wallet connected to the Internet. However, it has some kind of secure zone with a kind of firewall that protects it from malicious attacks on the phone.
If users lose their private keys, the social recovery system announced by HTC last year will help them recover the keys.
