Many companies are expected to launch 5G smartphones in 2019. We’ve heard reports that Samsung, Huawei, and OnePlus all have plans to launch such devices. Now it seems that HTC could also be looking to launch a 5G smartphone, but unfortunately we might not be able to expect it anytime soon.

#CES2019 – One of the early limitations of VR headsets was that they were largely dependent on being tethered to a PC. This is because a PC was required to power them and also run the apps for the headset. However we’ve started to see more models launched as standalone headsets, with the latest offering coming from HTC.

HTC has had a rough couple of years in the smartphone market. Even though it has made devices that have received good reviews, the company just can’t seem to sell enough of them to stop bleeding money. It’s not giving up, though. HTC Taiwan president Darren Chen has said that the company aims to reboot its smartphone sales by focusing on flagship and mid-tier models next year.

When you think of smartphone cameras that are supposed to be good, you might think of brands such as Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and more recently even Google is giving these companies a run for their money. This means that in theory in a blind test, it should be pretty clear who the winners are, right?

Quite a few manufacturers have now started rolling out the Android Pie update for compatible devices. Some big names like Samsung are still missing from the list, though, but that company is running a beta program now ahead of the launch for the Galaxy S9 in January. HTC has joined the list today with the HTC U11 Life becoming its first handset to get the Android Pie update.

We expect that come 2019, we will be hearing a lot of talk about 5G as well as seeing various devices supporting the technology. However we also imagine that much like 4G, there won’t be many devices supporting 5G at launch, but Sprint thinks that they might have a way to deal with that.

We’re sure many are wondering what will become of HTC. The company was previously one of the major players in the smartphone industry and was churning out flagship after flagship and keeping up the pace with their competition, but over the years they started to fall behind which has since allowed others, including Chinese OEMs, to overtake them.

Every year pretty much without fail, HTC has launched a flagship smartphone, such as earlier this year with the HTC U12+. However unlike companies such as Samsung or Apple, HTC has attempted to rebrand its lineup several times, and it seems that in 2019, the HTC U series could potentially be coming to an end.

HTC has announced the HTC VIVE Focus VR headset for Enterprise in San Francisco.  We’re still at the event looking at VR demos, but we can talk about the hardware right now.

HTC announced a few months back that it’s developing a blockchain smartphone that’s going to be called Exodus. The company has now started taking pre-orders for the HTC Exodus 1 but there’s a catch. If you want to pre-order it, you will have to pay for it in cryptocurrency.

HTC confirmed earlier this year that it would be launching a new smartphone called Exodus. It would be different from the devices that the company has released so far. It would also be different from most of the devices on the market currently. The Exodus will be a blockchain smartphone. HTC has posted a new teaser online today which possibly gives us our first glimpse at this device’s design.

Earlier this year HTC announced that they would be launching a smartphone called Exodus. While HTC launching new smartphones doesn’t come as a surprise, what made the Exodus interesting is the fact that it will be a blockchain smartphone (the same technology behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin).

It hasn’t been smooth sailing for HTC over the past few years. The company has been bleeding money and its market share has eroded. Even though it has made some good smartphones, customers don’t really seem to be interested in picking up HTC smartphones anymore. Amid rumors that HTC might exit the market entirely, it appears that the company is working on a new flagship smartphone with 5G support.

#IFA18 – After hearing about the phone via rumors for the past few months, it looks like at IFA 2018 HTC has finally made the HTC U12 Life official. As per the rumors, the handset has been designed to be a mid-ranger, but that’s not a bad thing for those who are shopping with a smaller budget or who don’t really care so much about having the most powerful smartphone.
