HTC is one of those manufacturers whose continuity in the mobile market will be called into question until the last minute. Once one of the market giants, HTC ended up selling part of its mobile division to Google, which in turn folded it into the Pixel division, and for years it was said with the possibility that the manufacture has ceased of telephones.
In fact, the latest launches in recent years have been very small and all in budget ranges in the market. It seemed that HTC was fading away in mobiles and only its Vive brand would remain for VR, and now a new rumor says that in April we will see a new HTC phone hitting the market again. And not only that: we are going to talk about a whole high range
A high-end mobile for the metaverse, HTC Vive?
The information comes from the Taiwanese media DigiTimes which for years offered the best exclusives on their compatriots HTC. From there, statements made by HTC’s head of Asia and the Pacific are quoted, and these statements talk about HTC’s return to the high-end cellphone market. From the hand of Android, naturally, an operating system that has helped grow and from which it has been separated into very few models.
According to Charles Huang, HTC’s lead for the aforementioned domain, HTC has its sights set on the metaverse which continues to be put together since Facebook (now Meta) put it on the game board months ago. HTC would plan integrate different functions of the metaverse into your future mobile phone top of the line. The idea of Vive’s branding extending to phones isn’t even remotely new, and it looks like this information points to just that.
HTC, who continued to live despite having her vital signs reduced to a minimum, would plan invest heavily in the virtual reality product market
As often in these cases, there is no more information on this future high-end HTC to press the metaverse. So we do not know exactly when it will be released, what will be its name, its price or if we will get to see it circulating across Europe. All this is unknown for now, although in the case of HTC the brand already has our attention. We will have our eyes and ears open.
