After selling most of its smartphone business to Google last year, HTC is trying to regain its former glory by riding the crypto-currency hype cycle and announcing today that its blockchain-enabled phone Exodus 1, is available for pre-order and will be shipped. to customers in December, just over 6 months after its disclosure.
However, noblesse forces, potential buyers can only pay for the device with cryptocurrency Bitcoin (0.15 BTC) or Ethereum (4.78 ETH), which represents about $ 960 at the date of writing this article.
The phone is based on the latest flagship device of the Taiwanese company, the U12 +, launched last May:
- Android Oreo (8)
- Quad HD + 6 inch screen
- Dual 16 megapixel and 12 megapixel main camera and an 8 megapixel dual front camera
- 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor
- 3500mAh battery
- IP68 degree of protection (dust and water resistant)
- No audio jack
However, what really makes Exodus 1 a Blockchain-enabled device is the phone's built-in Secure Enclave, which uses the processor's trusted zone technology to securely store the user's private key. in his Zion digital wallet, used for digital transaction and signing. contracts on the blockchain.
"An integrated multi-crypto portfolio is a major asset for more than 30 million people around the world with a digital portfolio today," said Marco Graziano, CEO of Visible Energy and inventor of Blockduino. "It also means that with the Exodus 1, you will not need a separate hardware portfolio, such as a secure USB drive, to store your cryptocurrency out of the box. connection. "
HTC has also solved the unbearable case of losing your private key information giving access to your cryptography funds, whether the phone is lost, stolen or irreparably damaged, with its "social key recovery" process: you choose 3 to 5 friends. each will have a portion of the recovery key which will then be contacted to bring back your digital wallet.
HTC also plans to release a Software Development Kit (SDK) so that third-party developers can write secure applications to its Zion secure wallet.
Exodus 1 will be available in 34 countries, including the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong (but not mainland China, which has a stricter cryptocurrency policy), Singapore, New Zealand, the United Kingdom , Austria, Norway and other "European countries".

HTC is not the first to announce a blockchain-compatible smartphone – Sirin Labs was the first to use his Finney blockchain phone – or even the first to send one, this honor goes to the relatively unknown Sikur startup, currently marketing its Sikurphone based on Sony Experia Phones. Both companies use their proprietary operating system in addition to their hardware.
However, the Taiwan-based consumer electronics company, which launched its first Android smartphone 10 years ago in partnership with Google and is behind the famous Vive virtual reality headset, is among the most first to create a hardware-based security system. Encrypted wallet using a standard Android device using ARM Trusted Zone technology.
Although the Exodus 1 may appeal to more than 30 million digital wallet users as well as early adopters of blockchains, we think the window of opportunity is quite short – 6 to 9 months – since major smartphone makers could quickly get into cryptocurrency. using the same ARM technology, if the demand is there.
