HTC which saw its first loss in the previous quarter has published figures for the fourth quarter of 2013. They are lower than what we expected, especially as the Taiwanese manufacturer has initiated a drastic cost reduction. Investors will continue to mope and HTC will have once again continue to make big efforts . Despite numerous cost reductions, HTC has made a profit of $ 10.4 million instead of 23 million expected, despite the sale of shares of Beats Electronics (the company behind Beats by Dr Dre) 265 million U.S. dollars. HTC has lost three quarters of its value in one year, it is estimated that HTC is 2.9 billion euros. Recently, the Taiwanese still has launched a campaign with Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man) in order to forge a new “image”. In addition, the HTC One has received numerous awards in 2013. We await the announcement of the HTC One + (HTC M8) which should take place between the CES and MWC (end of February). More information about this famous M8 in this article.

HTC managed to minimize the damage by selling its shares in ... - LesMobiles.com

Health HTC is far from rosy. That said, a financial maneuver saved the last quarter of the manufacturer.

Remember: the previous quarter was a disaster for HTC, because the company had experienced its first loss since its inception. The third fiscal quarter of 2013 did not allow HTC to make money or stay stable. When a company enters this mechanism, it is very difficult to do anything to get out: investments are cut off, morale is low, investors panic, the future is hard to predict. In short, this is the situation that any company would like to avoid in its history.

to avoid having to make a new report that was more or less the same pace, HTC has been finely. HTC One Max has not allowed the company to return to its accounts, not more than sales of the HTC Mini One or those, older but still valid, the HTC One. This fiscal quarter, HTC has lost $ 52.1 million. That said, it sold its stake in Beats Audio, the longtime partner of the firm, which team logo and a few audio compression algorithms its smartphones. This resale allowed to bring 265 million U.S. dollars. So, after the transactions, the firm now finds itself with 10.4 million profit when it has not sold masses of devices.

Although this is below the forecasts of analysts who were hoping to see $ 23 million of net income, it is a respite for HTC which can blow for another quarter before having to face the wrath investors. In this time, it will be back on track to keep the situation stable, or in the best case, to produce a net profit result which is not boosted by the sale of shares in a third company . To do this, HTC will have to rely only on itself and its main activity: the design of smartphones. We therefore expected over the HTC One forward …

M8 HTC: HTC One 2 One to HTC + - LesMobiles.com

Rumors about the next flagship HTC intensify. The device name may reveal …

name a smartphone is something important today. There a few years ago all smartphones had a rather strange name, especially in HTC Wildfire, Desire, Incredible … Yet these brands had a problem for the manufacturer: it was difficult to book and their evolution could go wrong, because a name was quickly out of fashion. So, following the example of Apple, all manufacturers are passed on the way letters and number. S5 Galaxy, HTC One, LG G2 … and for good reason: a letter and a number can not be registered. Everything is then easier for everyone.

Everyone, except perhaps for customers, who get lost in all possible variations of a device. Here, take the One range: there were in 2012 HTC One S and One X. Then the One X +. Then the One, better than the One S. Then the One Max, which is not another version of the One X which is of course better than the One X +. In short, we can say, HTC has just about anything with his letters, without knowing if it would work. There is little doubt that the excellent HTC One will have a successor will they call the One 2? They can not call the One S in any case, since the name is already taken by an older smartphone …

In this chaos could find a solution to any damage which would allow HTC to not have a smartphone with a very ugly name: call his next device HTC One +. It is in any case that the manufacturer seems to do with his device, if one believes a XDA Developer forum, which ensures that thus be called the M8. So, it would also understand the nature of the upcoming HTC One: if there is only a One +, one understands why the characteristics of the device are not so crazy over that offers competition. Stay tuned.

HTC M8: latest rumors seem dated profile HTC ... - Frandroid

Rumor or Reality? Anyway, the new 2014 seems to awaken the spirits, and perhaps confirm an improvement, or should we say an evolution of the current and very good HTC One that offered termination HTC One +. Evoked by the Android Revolution HD blog, tradition dictates that no source is cited …

Officially announced in February 2013 to be marketed worldwide for the following month, the HTC One (HTC M7) signed the return of the Taiwanese manufacturer in the field of mobile high-end Android in 2013. More than three quarters after its release, the HTC One always seems like much, even if he could now come to be succeeded by a mysterious HTC One + which would codename “HTC M8.”

The first point that was raised by Mike – author of the original article – advance that HTC would have simply deleted the capacitive buttons, and to the benefit of software integration that is cleaner in the eyes of Google. A questionable choice that certainly does not appeal to everyone. You can imagine that HTC has planned the coup and we propose an advanced software customization that side, while allowing the user to continue to make the most of the entire screen.

Still relying on its technology called UltraPixel, the number of megapixels the camera back camera could change though. And indeed, according to the blog ARH, HTC One + shift to a 6 or 8 megapixels, where the HTC One currently relies on a 4 million pixels. On top of that, it could also be accompanied by the processing power of HTC imageCHIP higher level 3, which is currently available in the second generation on One.

The other significant developments, rumor double screen is always on the agenda. To recap, the dual screen would enjoy optimum illumination in all circumstances (in low and high light). To expand a little more on the primary characteristics of the product, pass a battery of 2300 mAh 2900 mAh One to the HTC One +. The screen size would also have been revised upwards with 5 inches on the One + 4.7 inches against the One. 0.3 inches longer.

This is not over, it is also said that HTC could adopt the Snapdragon 805, which was released November 20, 2013 by Qualcomm and has already been the subject of several technical demonstrations. In short, the SoC Qualcomm S805 is the natural evolution of the S800 which draws on the Krait architecture 400 and renews the graphics Adreno 420 GPU with that brings 40% more graphics performance compared to the current Adreno 330 installed in the S800. We can therefore expect a significant change in performance between the One and One Plus, knowing that the current model is based on a Snapdragon SoC with a 600 300 Krait architecture and a slightly older GPU Adreno 320 series.

To wrap up, the rumor reports that the Taiwanese manufacturer sign the back support SD cards. Indeed, the HTC One + (aka HTC M8) could propose a micro-SD slot, where the international model of HTC One simply can not offer. Recall that these rumors are to be taken lightly.

To summarize the characteristics of the One + HTC (HTC M8):

• Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC Sense 6.0
• touch screen 5 inch FHD 1080p with Gorilla Glass 3
• processor quad-heart Snapdragon with Adreno 805 420
• 2 GB RAM memory LPDDR3
• APN 6 or 8 million pixels (UltraPixel) with the possibility of dual-sensor
• front camera 2 million pixels
• battery with a capacity of 2900 mAh (600 mAh or more than the One)
• suppression touch sensitive buttons, the profile of a software integration
• micro-SIM support, NFC, and micro-SD

Towards HTC One + instead of HTC One Two? - Fredzone

HTC will soon launch a new smartphone on the market, it is a certainty, and it was previously referred to as the HTC One Two. Ugly? A little, it is true, and not particularly practical either. However, if you believe a member of the XDA-Developer community, HTC M8 could eventually be marketed under a different name, and more pleasant to read HTC One + . Great, of course, but it’s not over because our friend hacker has released a fully dedicated to the specificities and characteristics of the terminal article.

class=”c3″>

sensory buttons on the screen. Typical controls would be directly integrated into Android, just like that found on the Sony Xperia Z1 or the LG G2. Another interesting point is the terminal embark a micro SD card reader and it would be possible to easily expand the storage space of the smartphone.

HTC could eventually sell the HTC One + instead of HTC One Two.

Want more? Okay, it’s understandable, and here just complete specifications of the HTC One +, just for you:

• Screen 5 inch display capable of a type Full HD 1080p.
• Protection Gorilla Glass 3.
• Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor 805 with unknown frequency.
• GPU Adreno 420.
• 2 GB of RAM in LPDDR3.
• sensor UltraPixel 6 or 8 megapixels.
• two objectives: one for pictures in low light, one for the rest

.

• Front camera 2.1 million pixels.
• Chip WiFi, Bluetooth chip, NFC chip.
• 2900 mAh battery.
• Port micro SIM card.
• KitKat Android 4.4 + HTC Sense 6.0.

On paper, it’s really not bad and HTC could hit hard once again. Note in passing that Mike1984 did not mention the presence of a fingerprint reader, so it is perfectly possible that the HTC One + makes the impasse over. The two goals, and although we must admit that the idea is very appealing. The best camera phones in the market still have a little trouble when the light is missing (including the Lumia 1020, tested here) and it would be a good way for the automaker to stand out from its competitors.

HTC One 2 (M8): new specifications with 5-inch screen ... - Phonandroid

• HTC One 2 (M8): new specifications with 5 inch screen, Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM

HTC One 2 is a new specification that have nothing impressive. This time @ evleaks providing these specifications “preliminary”. A fairly reliable source that sum is often right. Although it will take several weeks for the end of the story, here are the latest rumors about the successor of the HTC One very good.

last year at the same time, we expect many of the major manufacturers that have flagship models. This was the case of Sony and Samsung HTC and this should also be the case in this debate 2014. If the Galaxy S5 is expected with a 2k screen and surely a new metal shell, the information about the specifications of HTC One 2 do not seem to be in the superlative and does not necessarily please everyone.

Indeed, it is close to what can be found in Xperia Z1 and LG G2, namely a screen 5 inch Full HD, a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with Adreno GPU 800 330 2 GB RAM . For the photo part, the Ultrapixel would have to part with an unknown definition. Recall that another rumor speaks of a sensor with two Lens for this smartphone that is known as the M8 code. The front sensor is forecast to make it 2.1 megapixels. Android 4.4 with Sense 6.0 KitKat and a Wi-Fi chip interface 802.11 a / g / b / n / ac complete everything.

No Snapdragon 805 here, which could be a significant difference in performance, especially in graphics. In terms of the shell, the HTC One 2 should keep an aluminum chassis that made the success of its predecessor. A home button sapphire is mentioned, which would be a significant change for this model. With these components, HTC plans he propose its next high-end phone at a much more affordable price than the competition?

• Screen : 5-Inch 1080p
• Processor : Qualcomm Snapdragon 800
• RAM : 2GB
• Camera : Ultrapixel
• sensor front : 2.1 megapixels
• OS : Android 4.4 with Sense 6.0 KitKat
• Connectivity : Wi-Fi 802.11 a / g / b / n / ac

The update of the HTC range One to Android 4.4 will KitKat ... - Mobiles News

Saha75 January 3, 2014

According to statements made by HTC USA on October 31, with the announcement of Android 4.4, the update of the One to KitKat range is near. A knowledgeable developer even says he should expect an update of three aircraft between January and February.

Although the new fans would not HTC but a different source, confirming the update of new smartphones launched by the manufacturer Tawanais to Android 4.4 KitKat was highly anticipated in the next two months come.

Contrary to what LlabTooFer said, the new frame of the house Tawanais interface would not be ready until the fall, so it should wait for it to be available for older smartphones One range. The expectation should go to the formalization of the HTC One 2 (M8) for a few months would be the one to have the chance to embark Sense 6.

HTC unveiled its plan to offer an upgrade to Android 4.4.2 KitKat smartphones was last at the end of February and devices that receive this upgrade are: HTC One, HTC One Dual- SIM HTC One Max and Mini HTC One.

According to LlabTooFer are not very reliable because they are based no tangible evidence to support his statements, while those of the developer, who is usually a close HTC so it is best informed, strengthen anyway hopes HTC has promised during the formalization of KitKat.

There are approximately more than two months that the Taiwanese firm said its One devices will increase to 4.4 within 90 days that is to say, before 31 January 2014 except HTC One X. The reason may be because 18 months have passed since the launch of the One X and HTC no longer provide update its older devices. Another reason, coding based on NVIDIA Tegra Chispets devices is much more difficult than those powered by Qualcomm chipsets.

All in all, those who still have the One X, if they want the latest features offered by Android 4.4 KitKat must upgrade to a new device.

Note: KitKat updates planned for the months of January and February are only available for HTC in Europe. However, for other regions, the Android 4.4.2 update for its KitKat devices will be for a few weeks.
