HTC is a Taiwanese corporation founded in 1997. At first, the company specialized in the production of laptops and personal computers, then in the manufacture and sale of communicators. Today, HTC is one of the members of the Open Handset Alliance, a community of smartphone manufacturers that promote the Android platform.
Crisis in the corporation
From 2008 to 2014, HTC occupied a good position in the global market for the sale of equipment and gadgets. The lineup was represented by various smartphones that were popular with buyers. But in 2015, the company faced a number of financial problems. Rumors began to circulate that the company would soon go bankrupt. Analysts predicted that in 2016 HTC would own approximately 1% of the global smartphone market in 2016.
However, in the same year, Sher Wong (CEO of HTC) said that the Taiwanese corporation is not thinking of leaving the arena of the world market. Moreover, the company's management has a strategic plan to make the company a leader in smartphone manufacturers. ATIn 2016, the release of new HTC phone models was announced. The range of smartphones will be replenished with high-quality modern smartphones. They will compete with similar products from other companies.
In November 2016, it was announced that 3 new HTC smartphones went on sale. The model range of phones, which was released by the company, fully meets the requirements for modern communication devices. Their names are: Desire 650, Desire 10 and 10 Evo. Below are detailed descriptions of the new HTC models.

The lineup of phones was supplemented by two "twins": Desire 10 Pro and Lifestyle. The endings of the names of these two smartphones hint to a potential buyer at the "stuffing" of new gadgets. The Pro model has higher performance, while the Lifestyle model boasts excellent audio performance. Both smartphones have similar design features.
Desire 10 Pro

The battery charge will last for a long time (3000 mAh - battery capacity).
Desire 10 Lifestyle
This model is slightly inferior to the Pro version in terms of technical characteristics, but this does not mean that this smartphone does not meet the current requirements for modern phones.

- Phone memory size: 32 GB.
- The resolution of the matrix of the main camera is 13 MP.

HTC bankrupt?
HTC management has chosen the right way to develop its corporation. It is possible that not all new models presented this year will become hits among consumers, but in any case, the company's share in the world market will increase several times. Of course, there is something for the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC to work on, the entire range of smartphones is somewhat behind in terms of technical characteristics from analogues of other corporations. Nevertheless, HTC employees must be given their due - they did not let the company go under the bottom and go bankrupt.
