The last time HTC released a new phone, it was the last time!
Speaking of HTC, those born in the 80s and 90s may still have an impression, while those born in the 2000s must be confused. After all, after the U12+, the first UTC flagship model, was launched in 2018, there was almost no such machine in the mobile phone market.
Of course, the absence of it does not mean that it does not exist. After 4 years, HTC has taken the lead again. At the recent World Mobile Communications Conference , HTC announced that "old people have a son" and will release a new " metaverse " next month. "Flagship machine .
I believe that after reading this, everyone can’t wait to see what HTC is selling in the gourd? The editor is not hiding anything, please read below for all the news about HTC’s new machine.
catches up with the Yuanverse, is it real or a lie?
At the conference, HTC immediately released the "VIVERSE" metaverse platform and announced that the flagship machine would have built-in "VIVERSE". In fact, this new machine has not disclosed any specification details, but the industry speculates that it will provide an AR/VR experience and be able to interact with the Metaverse concept through mobile phones, tablets, PCs or VR headsets.
The editor will introduce to you the "VIVERSE" metaverse platform: This platform adopts an open architecture and supports NFT and digital asset storage and management; it can be accessed by multiple smart devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets.
Why did HTC say "metaverse" in a muffled voice?
In recent years, HTC has been deeply involved in the field of VR. It released the VR device HTC VIEW in 2015 and became one of the most popular VR devices in the world. HTC then reorganized its mobile phone R&D team with VR technology.
As for the phone itself, industry leaders speculate that its configuration and functions may be mediocre and that it may have some half-baked VR applications pre-installed.
has fallen from the altar, waiting for a comeback.
HTC, as the first manufacturer to eat "crab" (Android), how could it end up like this?
In fact, since 2011, HTC has suffered successive defeats due to insufficient patent reserves. It has been surrounded and suppressed by Apple , Nokia and other companies, and has been banned from sales in many regions and countries. Its image has plummeted, and its sales have also plummeted. Fall and fall again.
HTC could only reluctantly give up its mobile phone patents to Google and concentrate on waiting for new trends in the VR field.
With the technological leap of 5G and the sudden rise of the Metaverse, HTC took advantage of the trend and released the Metaverse platform "VIVERSE" to get closer to the Metaverse, a new virtual social outlet, and to create opportunities for returning to the mobile phone market.
Good things come hard. Even though HTC has become one of the top three manufacturers in the world in the field of VR, it still can't escape bad reviews: unclear pictures, lack of consumer content, and price tags of tens of thousands of yuan... So in 2020, HTC's revenue was 1.33 billion, The loss was as high as 1.38 billion yuan.
However, if HTC wants to make similar products take off, it may have to rely on the joint promotion of technology giants such as Qualcomm , Microsoft .
Finally
No matter what, HTC’s new “Metaverse” flagship phone will be released next month. Will it be welcomed by the public? Can it go down in history as the first "Metaverse" mobile phone? There will be a market test at that time.
