HTC's Exodus 1 comes with a secluded area kept separate from the Android operating system it runs on to keep a customer's cryptocurrency safe.

The blockchain-based phone is part of HTC's shifting strategy regarding smartphones, which will prioritize software and intellectual property.

It is available for pre-order at a price of 0.15 bitcoins or 4.78 ether tokens, which translates to about $960, and is expected to be shipped by December.

It is really interesting that HTC decides to go into Blockchain related area. It may lead other phone makers to do so too.

They probably want to get ahead in the game to compete with Apple and Samsung. If this takes off, they very well could make a comeback into the market.
