We’ve seen the HTC U11 and its Plus-sized sibling HTC U11+
being launched, but both devices missed one key feature that most other
2017 flagships had - a dual camera. According to HTC President Chialin
Chang, the company will implement it next year, once it figures out how
to make it stand out.
Chang confirmed that HTC is going to match its 2017 release strategy
and launch only five or six smartphones next year. It also plans to jump
into the grinder that is the Chinese smartphone market. It is dominated
by affordable to mid-tier devices with a price tag not more than
CNY2,000/$300. This would be a massive change for the company that was
never particularly strong in the low-end.
Chialin Chang also commented the acquisition of HTC’s team by Google.
It is still on track and has to be approved by shareholders by early
2018. The president withheld comments on HTC’s involvement with the
Google phones despite the information that the Taiwanese company
designed and manufactured the Pixel 2.
