After tree of cryptocurrencies and their decline as a center of primary interest in the market, HTC bets on a new phone, one that focuses on storing cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. This is a bit late. That is, it could have been launched earlier and cause more impact, although it remains to be known whether it will be the success that the firm expects, which it may be.
The Exodus is a high-ranking phone, as it is equipped with Qualcomm's most powerful mobile processor. At the same time, it is equipped with several very competitive, but not surprising, technical specifications. Likewise, thanks to its qualities, which we present below, it turns out to be a great phone, one that has many similarities with the HTC U12+ launched several months ago. Let's see!
The HTC Exodus is a high-end device focused on the protection of cryptocurrencies, which is the same to say that it is a safe wallet to store them, since It has an innovative key recovery system in case we lose the phone.
The system that the mobile boasts is called Social Key Recovery. This uses our contacts to distribute the key to our wallet, which, in turn, gives us access to the others. Of course, here everything is collaborative, because your contacts cannot be passive. They have to download a key maintenance app in order to store your keys. And in turn, you can store yours, as reported EngadgetMobile.
The computer provides a secure enclave isolated from the main operating system, which is where virtual money and keys are stored. HTC says that too will store all your data in the future. In addition to this, it has the Zion Wallet pre-installed for your cryptocurrencies.

This has a QuadHD + resolution, which is summarized in an 18: 9 display format and in the possible absence of a notch in its design, of which we are not sure because there is no official photo of its frontal appearance. In turn, as we said, it has all the power that a Snapdragon 845 can offer, as well as 6 GB RAM, 128 GB internal storage space and a 3.500 mAh battery to keep it on and running. .
On the other hand, the terminal has a double rear camera of 16 and 12 MP resolution, which has a "high-quality zoom", and with a double 8 and 8 MP front that has the natural Bokeh effect.
