HTC - Exodus 1- The phone contains a wallet that’s kept in a secure area “protected from the Android OS. 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 benefit of keeping this area of the phone separate from Android was that Google's OS is "fundamentally insecure with a centralized system," and therefore storing cryptocurrency using Android would make a user's funds more vulnerable to a hack.

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