HTC smartphone originally scheduled to be launched as soon as April will be delayed

Although it was revealed a few days ago that new mobile phone products will be launched as soon as April this year, however, HTC confirmed recently that due to the impact of the epidemic on the operation of the supply chain, the launch of mobile phone products originally scheduled to be launched as soon as April this year will be delayed. HTC did not specify the specific delay time.

Prior to this, Huang Zhaoying, general manager of HTC Asia Pacific, revealed in his external explanation in March that HTC would launch a smartphone that can integrate applications with the VIVERSE platform. It will be announced as soon as April, but the specific details of the phone were not disclosed at the time.

Last year, HTC only launched the Desire 21 Pro 5G at the beginning of the year to lay out the mid-range 5G connected mobile phone market. Although the company also emphasized that it will not give up the high-end mobile phone market, it has not continued to launch new smartphone products.

Many market opinions believe that HTC has now focused its main development focus on virtual reality devices, and even speculate that it may eventually withdraw from the competition in the smartphone market. In addition to continuing to explore development opportunities in the high-end flagship mobile phone market, it is almost impossible to have a competitive advantage in the mid-range and entry-level mobile phone market. Judging from the sales performance of the HTC U20 5G flagship mobile phone launched by HTC in 2020, it is obviously difficult to return to past prosperity.
