They do, just don't release phones in the States anymore. It's a shame because I really liked their phones.
Oh good golly it's going to be a wonderful day today!
Edit: as ahornsirup pointed out, this isn't really relevant. I got crossed up searching HTC with Huawei somewhere along the line.
Just like so many other things, I'm sure that bit will be buried.
Well, HTC is Taiwanese so there really isn't much of a story there.
Facepalm
Wow, my google-fu failed me pretty spectacularly. I was searching the HTC ban for patent infringement from Apple and at some point crossed with Huawei.
Though having said that, hey Apple, does that camera protrusion look familiar? Ask your lawyers!
Haven't seen them here in Europe in over a decade I think.
All the recent Nokia's were theirs, so probably more recent than you think. But yeh, nothing since then I think?
Or am I getting my 3 letter company names mixed up?
Yes. Post-microsoft Nokias are/were made by Human Mobile Devices.
I'm not getting the new NSA phone, that's certain.
same here, it was a big thing in the us as a cheap non-google, samsung or apple phone until they banned most huwei tech for "spying potential", we know the us does it worst.
The Dream and Magic were the beginning of an era!
They were the beginning of a Dream that turned into a nightmare (first for HTC, then for consumers).
Fuck, remember when Android was genuinely open source and we had a little computer with mobile internet that fit in our pockets that we could install our own open source OS ROMs on? What an incredible time to be alive that was.
I thought they were called Google Pixels now since Google bought them for $1.1B in 2017.
Looks like HTC worked with Google on the first Pixel then sold them about half of the R&D talent and non-exclusive rights on the technology. So yes and no.
Have I got good new for you! AND, it'll be gold ᶜᵒˡᵒʳᵉᵈ!
Definitely a shame, I swear the second they announce an htc g3, im buying
