Htc To Launch A High End Android Phone With Metaverse Features In April 2022

There was a time when HTC was a well-known brand in the smartphone segment. The Taiwanese company, however, saw its decline and shifted its focus to VR. Since then, it has only been releasing low-end to mid-premium smartphones in select markets. This might change soon as HTC has hinted at the launch of a new flagship Android smartphone with advanced VR features for the metaverse.

At the ongoing MWC 2022 event, HTC’s General Manager for the Asia-Pacific region, Charles Huang said (via DigiTimes Asia) that the company will launch a new high-end smartphone in the market in April. Although Huang did not provide an exact launch date, he added that it would come with certain VR features that will be helpful for “metaverse” functions.
