In the last three years, HTC hasn't released a flagship phone. In March, it was reported that HTC planned to release a high-end smartphone in April. It was also revealed that the device would be focused on the metaverse. According to new information, the HTC flagship's release date has been pushed back.
The HTC flagship phone, which was supposed to debut in April, has been delayed due to COVID, according to PhoneArena. It's encouraging to hear that the company isn't giving up on the device. Unfortunately, no information about the device's specifications is available.
The metaverse will be the only source of information about the mysterious HTC flagship phone. The smartphone is expected to be connected in some way to the company's Vivo Flow VR headset. Customers who want to use it for VR and AR apps are likely to be interested.
While HTC has been absent from the flagship market, it has been launching Wildfire-branded smartphones in markets such as Taiwan and India. It's unclear whether HTC's upcoming flagship phone will be available in more markets.
HTC has been releasing fewer phones in fewer markets for the past four years because it sold a significant portion of its smartphone business to Google in 2018. HTC and Google agreed to a $1.1 billion deal in which the latter received HTC's employees as well as access to its intellectual property.
It's possible that the upcoming HTC phone will be a sub-flagship model rather than a flagship model powered by Qualcomm or MediaTek's top-of-the-line processors. To learn more about the device, it is advisable to wait for more reports.
