Luxury brands launch high-end Web3 mobile phones, priced up to 300,000, causing controversy

A luxury smartphone brand recently launched a new product that claims to be the world's first Web 3.0 smartphone, officially released in London and available for global sale. This phone continues the brand's consistent high-end positioning, with the highest configuration version priced at up to 300,000 yuan, sparking considerable controversy.

This new device features a ceramic and metal body, embedded with sapphire glass, and even comes in a Himalaya crocodile leather version, crafted from high-end materials like 18K gold and diamonds. In terms of configuration, it is equipped with a 6.67-inch 144Hz high refresh rate screen, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor, has a triple rear camera setup, and houses a 4600mAh battery supporting 55W fast charging.

The most notable feature is its storage configuration, with up to 18GB of RAM, 1TB of storage space, and 10TB of distributed storage. This is also one of the main selling points of the device as a Web3 phone.

This smartphone is equipped with a customized operating system that claims to turn photos and videos into NFTs, and provides Web3 features such as point-to-point private communication and decentralized applications. It also includes a high-level security chip that meets the security standards of top international financial institutions.

In addition to hardware, the brand also offers a range of high-end services, such as 24-hour personal assistants and NFT investment consulting. However, some reviews point out that the so-called Web3 phone does not look much different from ordinary smartphones, with the main difference being the built-in hardware encryption wallet.

This phone comes in six versions, with a starting price of 25,800 RMB. Although the number of reservations exceeds 20,000, it has also sparked considerable controversy. Some netizens bluntly stated that this is an "IQ test machine," believing that its price does not correspond to the actual experience.

For a Web3 phone positioned as ultra-high-end, do you think it is worth the price? In the current situation where Web3 technology is not yet mature, does such a product have its significance and value?
