Seems like they find a new role in the market, do you see space for it ?

Depends on how they are built.
To be honest I'm skeptical about it since it may not be something that everyone needs in his life and it should be also secure compared to normal crypto services,I guess only crypto fans would buy like this phone.(Ofcourse others will still opt for an iPhone or a Samsung  wish is unfortunate but that's just the beginning of the blockchain concept)
But yeah,it's a good start,atleast there is companies interested in blockchain technology.Let's see where it goes.

What I know, the blockchain's smartphone is that it offers better security and improved user experience by integrating the storage wallet directly into the device, and enables direct trade of the original cryptocurrency without the cost of mining.

I see the need for it, since it might become a way for crypto to be widely used in the future. Although that is the case, I see that there are a lot of things that needs to be improved in those devices for it to be fit for daily use(in paying coins for services and goods). One of the first steps of it is for them to make transactions easier to execute using that type of smartphone.

The blockchain's  smartphone   would be okay if it will come with security and improve uses on it .i think is going to improve more of blockchain industry.

i see the need for these devices in the future when cryoti will be widely used. this will make transactions easier for everyone.

"The company will create a blockchain network where each HTC Exodus will act as a node." Hmm. I really don't know about this. What blockchain network? I assume they're going to actually create a token? As I really doubt they actually mean that you could run your own bitcoin node on your device(as it would require a lot of memory).

I think their company just want to support the crypto world,  even it might be some people thinking in a different way. It's true that we can trade crypto with a regular smartphone but I think this will make your trading system much easier tho, no one would create something if there is no other benefit.

The blockchain smartphone truly has to offer extremely high security and agility in data analysis. I think there are no phones in the world yet

That is a good start, at least there are companies interested in blockchain technology. One of its first steps is to make it easier for people to make transactions with the smartphone.

I honestly have no idea on what they plan on doing with this. Seems like a marketing gimmick to me. There are so many companies that are trying/have tried to jump on the Blockchain buzzword bandwagon. A lot of people revere blockchain as being this all in one magic technology that can solve all of our problems and should be implemented in nearly everything.

IMO this is a flawed way of thinking. Blockchain has a very specific set of use cases and definitely doesn't belong everywhere. A blockchain smartphone makes no sense to me. How does this even work? What's the incentive for maintaining the ledger? What is the ledger for? So many questions...

With that being said, A smartphone that has a secure chip separate from everything else exclusively used for securing and storing cryptocurrency would be immensely valuable. It's just hard to trust something like this as the company could easily implement a backdoor. The software would definitely need to be open source for something like this. I think it would be great to have both a hardware wallet and your smartphone all in one with nil risk.

As the article explains, this is only something which MAY sound appealing to crypto nuts / tech junkies. This isn't going to reasonate with everyday people as it really doesn't offer much that they're going to need, all this is going to do is to provide for a sector of people who PROBABLY wouldn't even buy this sort of device anyway (due to the price tag which is going to come with features like this) Yet again, I'll point to the article with saying that this is an attempt at saving a company which is going to slowly fail. Not surprised, though did they really think this was going to work?

Many are stating their interest to blockchain technology and even the giants in the China but they are still doubting bitcoin.

This is one of the conspiracies before that everything can happen with just a single click of instructions and now blockchain being adopted by one major company. Let's just wish that they won't create a new token for this idea that they have stated.

If this gets more interesting I'll avail one HTC smartphone.

This is good. but we'll have to wait to know if it is worth it. It will depend ofcourse of the price and the usability of this smartphone or where it will be sold.

I believe that for any innovation there must be a reason and premises. The development of phones and other gadgets on blockchain should answer the question of why this is needed and how it will help in everyday life. I think that at the moment, few people will use devices on blockchain, because they don`t see the point. Devices on blockchain will be useful for only a few crypto enthusiasts, for whom it is important to ensure the safe storage of crypto currency and conduct transactions with it.

Its a great news. An extraordinary thinking I would say. But need to wait if people can afford such kind of smartphone.

It will very good for customers as well as btc if those devices have strong security, reasonable  price and availability.

HTC seem to have gone deeper to blockchain after samsung found themselves interested to blockchain. When the news is out to the public about big companies getting their hands on this new technology, everybody seem to also want to go viral with the plans of their own. A blockchai device would be good, it would be more interesting if they come along with the default app like the EIDOO app, DENT, bubbletone and so on.

It is so great to have this new technology innovations. The companies are researching and making new instruments for the betterment of our lives including here in this crypto world.

while this is an experimental technology, because such smartphones are not as fast as we would like

To do mainstream advertising with bitcoins, this is fine too. I don't know if I would use it though.

This was not an expected development. Already mobile devices are well suited for this use. But the problem is again on energy. Mining device consumes too much electricity. If this problem can be overcome on mobile devices, mining activities may come to the future in the future. Also internet connection prices should also be cheaper.

it's still pretty small market for now, but maybe it's enough for them. Once the crypto adoption grows enough, there surely will be space for devices like this. I have heard many bitcoin phone attempts by now

I agree with you. the market still has so much room to grow and expand, and definitely in the long run it should be implemented

Indeed, I am agree with your opinion. Its good start for cryptocurrency adoption. Right now, many company developing their device to adopting blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

There really is a market for these. And why not if this could help crypto users in a big way then let it be here. But ofcourse this will dpend on the price and its uses.

yeah. Surely the market for smartphones lie this is growing by the minute as the users of crypo currency grow. Let's just see the pricing and we can evaluate if it would be really worth it.

Htc and Srini Labs developing the smartphone in blockchain devices they are integrating bitcoin wallets which will allow them for mass adoption

in my opinion the market of smartphone lie this is groeing by the minute of cryptocurrecy grow.

When the news is out to the public about big companies getting their hands on this new technology, everybody seem to also want to go viral with the plans of their own.

well for me i don't think a mobile phone can actually make response or be useful to blockchain because i know mobile phone does not have much capacity to either mine, mining take a lot of battery power and a mobile phone does not have that kind mah to mine. i don't even think they'v got any plans for mobile phones..
