Huobi released a budget blockchain smartphone with a built-in cryptocurrency wallet

Huobi Global Cryptocurrency Exchange in partnership with Whole Network startup introduced a blockchain smartphone with a built-in cryptocurrency wallet. A device called Acute Angle is already available to some users from China, but the actual release is scheduled for next week, according to the website of the exchange .

In addition to the built-in wallet, the Android smartphone is equipped with a push-notification function for trading transactions. In addition, a cold wallet plugin can be added to the device separately.

Acute Angle is much cheaper than other blockchain smartphones – its price is $ 515, while, for example, a Finney device from Sirin Labs costs about $ 1,000. Acute Angle can also be purchased for native tokens of the Huobi exchange.

By the end of 2019, the smartphone should appear in the markets of Southeast Asia, and in the future the company plans to enter the US and EU markets.

“We are confident that blockchain smartphones are a promising area for the future development of the industry. As the industry evolves and as innovations such as 5G integrate into our systems, we believe that more and more cryptocurrency users will want to trade and carry out transactions from mobile devices, ”said Livio Wen, head of Huobi Global.

Recall, Samsung recently added support for bitcoin, BNB token and stablecoins to its Galaxy S10 smartphone. Now the device supports a total of 33 crypto assets.
