HTC has lifted the covers from the Desire 22 Pro, its latest smartphone that is equipped from top to bottom in metaverse functionalities (or so says HTC). HTC claims that the Desire 22 Pro can connect with its Vive Flow virtual reality glasses, allowing users to stream content from the phone’s screen to the wearable’s display. In doing so, users get to experience an expanded field of view equivalent to a 300-inch screen. The latter is facilitated by a tech called HDCP, offering support for apps like Netflix, Hulu,…

HTC‘s smartphone division may be down, but it’s not out. The storied phone maker, which has become a shadow of its old self in recent years, keeps releasing new devices, albeit not as frequently as it did in the past. More than a year after announcing the Desire 21 Pro, the Taiwanese firm is back with a succeeding model aptly called the Desire 22 Pro. It’s a mid-range smartphone built with a focus on VR (virtual reality), the company’s core business these days.HTC Desire 22 Pro specificationsThe HTC Desire 22 Pro sports…

Remember HTC? The smartphone market moves fast and companies are easily forgotten, but it’s still mad to think HTC used to rule the Android roost about a decade ago Phones like the One M7 were genuinely better than the iPhone of the time but it’s hard to think of HTC challenging at the top again. The company knows this and is playing in its niche with the new Desire 22 Pro, a phone billed as a companion device to the HTC Vive Flow virtual reality headset. We reviewed the Flow and found it had a lot of issues.…

The new HTC device will launch on June 28 and is set to be the first metaverse (or to be precise, Vivaverse) phone. In the past few months, there hardly has been a day where companies have not talked about or showed their interest in emerging technologies like metaverse, virtual reality, blockchain, and more. Recently, HTC has announced that they are all set to bring the first-ever Metaverse phone. HTC has been largely a missing name in the smartphone market as of late, with barely any new devices launching in…

HTC was once one of the most popular brands for Android phones. Its Desire series was a triumph in both design and functionality, but over time the brand faded, releasing a string of handsets that failed to sell. After selling a chunk of its phone business to Google in 2018 it seemed that the company would go the way of LG and Blackberry. But rumours are spreading fast that the Taiwanese innovators could be about to launch a comeback, with a phone that would be different to anything else on the market. Here’s all…

HTC Viverse phoneImage: HTCHTC once owned a sizable portion of the global smartphone market share, but it could never keep up with Samsung, and in 2017, the company sold most of its phone IP to Google. After staying in the shadows for several years, HTC is now planning its return to smartphones, though fans of its previous HTC One devices should keep their excitement in check. The company posted on Twitter a teaser for its upcoming smartphone, which is set to debut at a launch event on June 28. We don’t know specifics…

Last updated: June 10th, 2022 at 15:26 UTC+02:00 After a long time, there is some exciting news from HTC, the brand that long ago dominated the smartphone market. Samsung’s rival, HTC, has scheduled a Login Future event on June 28. At MWC earlier this year, HTC announced that it is working on a range of smartphones that will come with its animated virtual world, Viverse. Thanks to the pandemic that hit the world hard, the launch, which was actually scheduled for April, got delayed. But now it is all set to reveal a…

Earlier this year HTC outlined its answer to Facebook's metaverse with Viverse, allowing you socialize, hold meetings and more in VR. Later on at Mobile World Congress, the company said it would launch a high-end smartphone with some kind of metaverse feature. Now, HTC has teased a launch date for that device on Twitter with an image showing a phone shape and HTC's Viverse logo.  It's likely to offer an AR/VR experience via HTC's open-source Viverse. That metaverse platform lets you chat with others via VRChat, hold…
