It can be a step up in the field of crypto to get reputation on the global scale.
That was great news but who would buy HTC in the first place? Don't get me wrong, I like this another milestone for bitcoin but how it will become effective and spread faster if the platform itself falls behind from the superior brands in their industry such as IPhone,
Samsung, Xiaomi and others? It already came from your mouth, you said it was on the side of lower end phones. If I am HTC's CEO I will forcus first on developing my phone to become competitive once again before adopting blockchain.
They aren't really competing against those brands to be honest, after some more thinking. I don't think the plan was ever to overtake Samsung as the next flagship, or Xiaomi with their low prices.

It's a niche that probably needed filling if HTC did their research correctly. It's designed for people who don't need a snapping CPU or a good screen. It's designed for people who work with crypto-currencies and want the functions that laptops and hardware wallets have.

I don't see anyone using this without having a least 10,000 in crypto-currencies or being involved in a crypto-currency company.

This phone will be on the Android operating system. This is very dangerous for the security of the bitcoin network running on the phone. Doesn't sound safe
