Not exactly a comeback just yet but HTC is reportedly looking to bring a flagship Android phone as early as next month. The news comes from Taiwan’s DigiTimes which got confirmation from HTC Vive Asia-Pacific GM Charles Huang at an HTC event part of MWC 2022. HTC’s new flagship would be the first of its kind since the HTC U12+ from back in 2018. The upcoming HTC flagship will focus on VR and AR with deep integration to HTC’s own open-source metaverse platform dubbed Viverse.
It would be amusing to see how HTC fares given that a large chunk of HTC’s smartphone business belongs to Google since 2018 and has since been releasing few low-end and mid-range Android phones in select few markets. We’ll keep you in the loop with new developments and updates on HTC’s upcoming device as more info surfaces.
