Sugar S11 Blockchain Creation Edition smartphone mines and holds the Ethereum Fog crypto

meet the Sugar S11 Blockchain Creation Edition. The design seems like a copy of the ZTE nubia Z17s but the hardware is different. That’s not what makes this phone, interesting though.

The blockchain in question is Ethereum Fog, which forked off the Ethereum cryptocurrency on January 1 this year. It builds on ETH’s ability to run programs by adding a file system (still in development). Apparently, the devs behind the project want to offer the ease of Amazon’s AWS hosting services but with the decentralized powers of a blockchain. All of this is still in development (the AWS thing is planned for 2020).

The Sugar phone will serve as a hardware wallet. It will also (supposedly) participate in the mining of Ethereum Fog, though its Snapdragon 652 chipset is not well-suited for that and there’s no mention of an on-board ASIC.
The Sugar Blockchain Creation Edition will cost CNY 4,000 ($620/€510) and 10,000 units will be produced at first. You can tie up to 10 phones to a single wallet.
