HTC is not giving up after another lousy quarter, preparing multiple new 5G phones

It may not seem like it, but HTC is still very much alive and kicking, at least in Taiwan, where several "new 5G smartphone models" could be released sometime during Q2 2021.

HTC U Play Review

Apr 04, 2017, 8:31 AM, by Daniel Petrov

After reviewing the grand HTC U Ultra, PhoneArena is taking the 5.2” U Play for a spin to gauge whether the midrange processor and high-res cameras offer a good balance for the price.

HTC U Ultra Review

Mar 23, 2017, 6:13 AM, by Stephen Schenck

With high-end specs, a big 5.7-inch screen, and a seriously flagship-level price tag, is the U Ultra a fitting replacement for the HTC 10, or will HTC fans want to keep waiting for a possibly more petite handset?

HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle Review

6.0

Dec 16, 2016, 8:47 AM, by Damian M.

The HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle is a mid-range Android smartphone that's not for everyone. The handset isn't available in the US, but European customers can get it for around $300, which makes it a bit more expensive than most of its competitors. We'll let you decide for yourself if the price is worth it.

HTC One M9+ Review

6.0

Nov 12, 2015, 7:15 AM, by Ray S.

The M9+ is slightly bigger than the M9, but not really big enough to call it a phablet. At the same time, it bumps some of the specs up, like the resolution, but also turns things down in other areas, such as the chipset. It's really difficult to determine the exact position of the One M9+ relative to the M9, which is why we won't even try. Let's just review it for what it is.

HTC Desire 820 Review

Nov 20, 2014, 5:45 AM, by John V.

In our review of the HTC Desire 816, we were enamored by the solid package HTC was able to deliver – easily making it one of the more noteworthy devices in the mid-range market. Even with its universal acclaim, its only area of opportunity came in its processing performance. Naturally, it suffices for basic things, but strains under the pressure with intensive stuff. Well, that’s where the HTC Desire 820 comes into mind, as it bears an impressive piece of silicon in the form of a potent 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor...

HTC Desire 510 Review

6.5

Sep 15, 2014, 4:08 AM, by Luis D.

The HTC Desire 510 has the legitimate honor to be the first Android smartphone to ship with a 64-bit processor. Surprisingly, though, this isn't a hot-shot HTC flagship, but quite the opposite - a basic entry-level smartphone. It's the successor to 2013's HTC Desire 500, which was a fine, but not exceptional low-end phone back in the day. Targeting budget-conscious customers across the globe, the LTE-enabled Desire 510 is rivaled chiefly by the Moto E, Moto G, and the Lumia 635. Is this a smartphone worthy of considering against those two?...

HTC Desire 816 Review

May 29, 2014, 2:36 AM, by Nick T.

Meet the HTC Desire 816. Described by its maker as a “flagship mid-range” phone, it strikes a great balance between price and features with its generous 5.5-inch display, quad-core processor, and 13MP camera. At the same time, goodies borrowed straight from the company's flagship, the HTC One (M8), are making an appearance in HTC's phablet. All of this can be yours for around $400 off-contract, which seems like a pretty sweet deal. Or is it?...

HTC Desire 310 Review

Apr 29, 2014, 5:17 AM, by Chris P.

The dual SIM Desire 310 is seemingly intended to help HTC surge into the lower-cost segment, though its price tag of $220 in the US kind of disagrees with that notion and puts it into the mid-range tier. But no matter, the jury is still out on whether the 310 is enough of a phone to warrant what is a rather steep price tag. And that jury is us...
