After two years of absence from the market, HTC has officially returned to the industry and released Desire 22Pro, which is billed as the world's first "Metaverse" mobile phone and focuses on Metaverse-related functions and virtual asset management. In terms of hardware, the ordinary appearance is paired with the Snapdragon 695 processor, and the price is as high as 2,700 yuan. No wonder netizens complained: and Huawei don’t dare to sell it so expensively.
Desire 22Pro focuses on the concept of "Metaverse" and has built-in Viverse (actually just a software), the entrance to the Metaverse. Users can create virtual avatars and virtual asset management functions, and the effect is better when used with the self-launched Metaverse glasses. In the current experience stage, using this phone is like getting a "pass to the metaverse", so it is claimed that this is not a simple phone, but a way to face the future, bringing unprecedented super powers.
Although the promotion is mysterious and mysterious, the hardware configuration of Desire 22Pro is extremely mediocre. It is equipped with a 6.6-inch hole-punch screen on the front, and the size of the frame and chin are very impressive. The screen has a resolution of 2412×1080p, a refresh rate of 120Hz, a front-facing 132-megapixel selfie lens, a rear-facing 64-megapixel main camera + 13-megapixel + ultra-wide-angle 5-megapixel depth of field camera, and a built-in 4250 mAh battery that supports wireless charging. The specific power is not indicated, but it is IP67 dustproof and waterproof.
As for core performance, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, the AnTuTu score is about 390,000. It may be difficult to support the ambition of opening the entrance to the "Metaverse". The price of the Honor X30 equipped with the same chip is less than 1.5K, and the Huawei Smart Selection Hi Nova9SE is only about 2.5K. The price of this phone is as high as NT$11,990 (approximately 2,709 yuan). No wonder there are complaints that the price is too expensive.
Desire 22Pro dares to have such a "confident" pricing. It is completely betting that the "Metaverse" will become the general trend of the industry in the future. Just like betting on the "blockchain" mobile phone business back then, in the final analysis, it is still a gambler's mentality to succeed. As the king of smartphone brands in the first generation, HTC was known as the Three King Kongs together with , Samsung, and Apple ten years ago. It has extremely high sales and market prospects in China. Unfortunately, several consecutive wrong operations have caused the business to collapse, and it is unlikely to return to the mainstream. .
Although the industry is generally not optimistic about this phone, HTC has still released an ambitious plan. Desire 22Pro will be launched in Taiwan Province of China first, then in Europe in July and in Japan in August to give back to global fans, users and new groups. . Executives said in an interview with the media at the press conference: Desire 22Pro hardware is quite competitive, and new accessories such as mobile phones and VR will continue to be launched in the second half of the year. New mobile phones will be launched again in 2023. They are optimistic about the market prospects of the hardware VR business. Although now There will not be explosive growth, but there will definitely be steady and upward development in the future.
Friends, do you think the Desire 22Pro "Metaverse" mobile phone is deceiving people, or is it the entrance to the next era?
