    Although HTC has been one of the leading manufacturers in the Chinese market to distribute smartphones in the price range between 320 and 400 dollars, has failed, then, to stand up to competition from Chinese producers are able to market products at lower prices and better performance. A circumstance which, according to analysts, could affect the financial results of HTC, for more encouraging in the light of the success of the top range HTC One.

    HTC in any case seems to be already running for cover, presenting the entry level Desire 200 in Taiwan on June 18 (see previous news), a terminal marketed $ 166, the price of lower launch for an HTC smartphone. Before HTC Desire 200 the price of low-end device and lower-middle of the Taiwanese manufacturer was between 200 and 250 dollars.
