Things have been nothing but disappointing for HTC over the past several years. The company hasn’t caught a break when it comes to sales for quite some time, but it’s not all out of good just yet. According to a new report, HTC has plans for 2019 that include new flagship and mid-range smartphones.
HTC hasn’t seen much success in the past few years. In fact, you’d be totally forgiven if reading this article was the first time you thought about the company since earlier this year. The company’s last notable launch was the HTC U12 Life back in August, but this week, it has announced the HTC Desire 12s.
Long since separated from creating hardware for Google, HTC’s ailing mobile business has flipped from the cutting-edge to the mid-range. Announced at IFA 2018, the HTC U12 Life drops a few of the now commonly seen design principles of the numerous iPhone-clones available on the market already. Strong specs and a pretty steady design make this a candidate for best mid-range smartphone out there.
