As HotHardWare writes, given the company's rich history in the smartphone market, the hype surrounding HTC's return is not surprising. In 2008, HTC released the world's first Android smartphone, the HTC Dream (also known as the T-Mobile G1). The device had a retractable display, a physical QWERTY keyboard, 256 MB of built-in memory, a slot for microSD cards and 3G support. At that time, it was a breakthrough machine with wide possibilities for modification.
Despite subsequent successful models such as the HTC One M7 and M8, the company faced stiff competition from Samsung and Apple. As a result, in 2018 HTC sold most of its mobile division to Google for $1.1 billion and focused on the virtual reality market of the Vive headset line.
Although there are no official details about the new smartphone yet, it is assumed that HTC is preparing to the release of the U24 Pro model, which previously appeared in the Google Play databases and the Geekbench benchmark. According to preliminary data, the device will receive a display with a resolution of 2426 × 1080 pixels, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor and 12 GB of RAM. These are mid-range specifications, but a lot will depend on the positioning, features and final price of the smartphone.
Experts believe that the return of HTC will definitely attract the attention of enthusiasts and fans of the brand. We will have to wait for the official presentation on June 12 to find out if the iconic manufacturer can once again win a significant share of the highly competitive smartphone market. The history of HTC, which began with the world's first Android smartphone HTC Dream in 2008, receives a new chapter in 2024.
