HTC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HTC Corporation (Chinese: ;

pinyin: Hngd Guj Dinz Gfn Yuxin Gngs) is a HTC Corporation
Taiwanese consumer electronics company headquartered in
Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. Founded in 1997,
HTC began as an original design manufacturer and original
equipment manufacturer, designing and manufacturing
devices such as mobile phones and tablets.[3][4]

After initially making smartphones based mostly on

Windows Mobile, HTC became a co-founding member of
the Open Handset Alliance, a group of handset
manufacturers and mobile network operators dedicated to the
development of the Android mobile operating system.[5] The
HTC Dream, marketed by T-Mobile in many countries as the
T-Mobile G1, was the first phone on the market to run
Android. HTC later shifted to marketing its own devices,
including the HTC One series. In 2011, HTC ranked as the
98th top brand on Interbrand's Best Global Brands report.[6]
A September 2013 media report stated that HTC's share of
the global smartphone market is less than 3 percent. While
rising back to 7.2 percent in April 2015 due to its strong
sales of recent devices, its stock price had fallen by 90
percent since 2011, and the company experienced
consecutive net losses.[7] In 2016, HTC expanded into virtual
reality hardware with the release of HTC Vive.

In 2007 HTC acquired the mobile-device company Dopod www.htc.com/au

In October 2010, HTC launched the brand tagline "quietly
brilliant", and the YOU campaign, HTC's first global
advertising campaign.[11]

In June 2010, the company launched the HTC Evo 4G, the first 4G-capable phone in the United States.[12] In
July 2010, HTC announced it would begin selling smartphones in China under its own brand name in a
partnership with China Mobile.[13] In 2010 HTC sold over 24.6 million handsets, up 111% over 2009.[14]

In 2011, HTC started working with Luxgen. Luxgen vehicles are engineered to 'Think Ahead' for their drivers.
Armed with advanced technology designed by Taiwan's global smart phone leader HTC, Luxgen vehicles are
equipped with a suite of advanced features to preempt road conditions and potential hazards. All Luxgen
vehicles feature a state of the art onboard computer system, dubbed the 'Think+', which, for the first time ever,
combines HTC smart technology and Windows CE Automotive interface.[15]

At the Mobile World Congress on 16 February 2011, the GSM Association named HTC the "Device
Manufacturer of the Year" for 2011.[16] In April 2011, the company's market value surpassed that of Nokia,
making HTC the third most highly valued smartphone-maker in the world behind Apple and Samsung.[17]

On 6 July 2011, it was announced that HTC would buy VIA Technologies' stake in S3 Graphics, thus becoming
the majority owner of S3.[18][19] On 6 August 2011, HTC acquired Dashwire for $18.5M. In August 2011, HTC
confirmed a plan for a strategic partnership with Beats Electronics involving acquiring 51 percent of Beats'
shares.[20][21]

The 2011 Best Global Brands rankings released by Interbrand, listed HTC at #98 and valued it at $3.6
billion.[22][23] Based on researcher Canalys, in Q3 2011 HTC Corporation became the largest smartphone
vendor in the U.S. with 24 percent market share, ahead of Samsung's 21 percent, Apple Inc.'s 20 percent and
BlackBerry's 9 percent. HTC Corporation made different models for each operator.[24]

During early 2012, HTC lost much of this U.S. market share due to increased competition from Samsung and
Apple Inc.[25] According to analyst firm comScore, HTC only accounted for 9.3% of the United States
smartphone market as of February 2013.[26] In light of the company's decrease in prominence, Chief Executive
Peter Chou had informed executives that he would step down if the company's newest flagship phone, the 2013
HTC One, had failed to generate impressive sales results.[27] HTC's first quarter results for 2013 showed its
year-over-year profit drop by 98.1%, making it the smallest-ever profit for the companythe delay of the
launch of the HTC One was cited as one of the factors.[28] In June 2012, HTC moved its headquarters from
Taoyuan City (now Taoyuan District) to Xindian District, New Taipei City.

On 14 January 2013, HTC launched its smartphones in Burma, which will come with the world's most
advanced Burmese language on-screen keyboard.[29]

In August 2013, HTC debuted a new "Here's To Change" global marketing campaign featuring actor Robert
Downey, Jr., who signed a two-year contract to be HTC's new "Instigator of Change." On 15 August, HTC
began airing the new marketing campaign on YouTube, prior to the campaign's appearance in television and
cinema advertising schedules.[30]

On 27 September 2013, HTC announced that it sold back its entire stake of Beats (24.84 percent) to Beats
Electronics. The company will close the deal in Q4 of 2013 and expectsa US$85 million pretax profit.[7][31]
The 2013 HTC One was released in mid-2013 and, subsequently won various industry awards in the best
smartphone and best design categories, but global sales of the HTC One were lower than those for Samsung's
Galaxy S4 flagship handset and HTC recorded its first ever quarterly loss in early October 2013: a deficit of
just under NT$3 billion (about US$100m, 62m). Marketing problems were identified by HTC as the primary
reason for its comparative performance, a factor that had been previously cited by the company.[32]

Following the release of the HTC One, two variants were released to form a trio for the 2013 HTC One lineup.
A smaller variant named the HTC One Mini was released in August 2013, and a larger variant named the HTC
One Max was released in October 2013. Similar in design and features to the HTC One, the upgraded aspects
of the One Max include a display measuring 5.9 inches (15 cm), a fingerprint sensor and a removable back
cover for expandable memory.[33] The product was released into the European and Asian retail environment in
October 2013, followed by a US launch in early November 2013.[34]

In March 2014, HTC released the HTC One (M8), the next version of the HTC One flagship, at press
conferences in London and New York City. In a change from previous launches, the HTC One was made
available for purchase on the company website and North American mobile carrier websites on the same day a
few hours after the launch.[35]

In April 2014, HTC reported sales climbing 12.7 percent to NT$22.1 billion, the company's fastest growth
since October 2011.[36] In September 2014, Google selected HTC to make its Nexus 9 tablet.[37]

On 1 March 2015, HTC unveiled Vive, a virtual reality head-mounted display in collaboration with Valve
Corporation.[38][39] In June and October 2015, HTC reported net losses; the company has faced increased
competition from other smartphone makers, including Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics, and other
newcomers, which had resulted in a decline in its smartphone sales, as well a major loss of market share.[40] On
September 30, 2016, HTC globally launched Viveport, its VR app store focused on non-game VR
experiences.[41]

On 12 January 2017, HTC unveiled the HTC U Ultra and the HTC U Play. The HTC U Ultra is powered by the
Snapdragon 821 SoC and is coupled with 4 GB of RAM. The device sports dual displays. One is the 5.7-inch
Quad-HD Super LCD 5 primary display whereas the other is the 2.0-inch secondary display located above the
main screen. The device is offered in two variants - 64 GB and 128 GB. The 64 GB model comes with Gorilla
Glass 5 and the 128 GB model comes with Sapphire Glass which is a limited edition. The HTC U Ultra runs on
Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box and comes with a 3000 mAh battery which supports Quick Charge 3.0. The
3.5 mm audio jack is missing from this device, and hence, users have to rely on the USB Type-C port for
charging the phone as well as listening to music through earphones.

On 15 April 2017, HTC unveiled HTC One X10 model for India, just a day after they have introduced in
Russia. HTC One is been quite popular series in India and One X10 is HTC's first mobile phone with 4000
mAh battery capacity. The phone launched exclusively on OnlyMobiles.Com - with whom HTC have
introduced HTC 10 Lifestyle earlier. HTC One X10 is made of metal body and sports 16MP rear camera and
8MP front camera. However, many may feel that the device launched is on higher side of the price but HTC
known to take premium over their counterparts. One X10 sports 3GB RAM and have got dual sim capability,
which is specifically very important in BRIC markets.

On 16 May 2017, HTC announced the HTC U11 flagship smartphone, the successor to the previous year's HTC
10.

Litigation
In March 2010, Apple Inc. filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission claiming
infringement of 20 of its patents covering aspects of the iPhone user interface and hardware.[42] HTC disagreed
with Apple's actions and reiterated its commitment to creating innovative smartphones.[43] HTC also filed a
complaint against Apple for infringing on five of its patents and sought to
ban the import of Apple products into the US from manufacturing facilities
in Asia.[44][45] Apple expanded its original complaint by adding two more
patents.[46]

On November 10, 2012, Apple and HTC reached a 10-year license-

agreement covering current and future patents held by the two companies.
The terms of the agreement remain confidential.
